Q: Should you tip holiday decorators?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won&rsquo;t expect it, but it&rsquo;s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they&rsquo;re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.</p></div>

Q: Should I hire an interior designer or an interior decorator?

• <div><p>Deciding to hire an interior designer or an interior decorator is entirely dependent on what you&rsquo;re looking for out of your project and your budget. Interior decorators typically cost less than interior designers, both in hourly rates and overall project costs. </p><p>If you want to add furnishings to your home but it&rsquo;s otherwise set with permanent fixtures, an interior decorator would be best for you. However, if you are looking to remodel your home or are building a new home and would like help with permanent structures like cabinets, showers, and overall layouts, an interior designer is best. </p></div>

Q: What can I do with an old fireplace insert?

• <div><p>With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.</p></div>

Q: What types of drapery are available?

• <div><p>Options include blackout, sheer, and thermal curtains in various fabrics and styles.</p></div>

Q: How do I make my tree look professionally decorated without paying?

• <div><p>Professionals often use extra materials that aren&rsquo;t included in traditional tree decorations, like pins and more expensive wired ribbon that can be carefully shaped. But even without these elements, you can improve your decorating by taking a few professional cues.</p><p>Always start by picking an overall theme, including colors, types of ornaments, and the overall feeling or message you want to create. Fluff your tree to its fullest potential, and include a generous amount of garlands, lights, ornaments, and bows to complete the look. Professional trees tend to be very &ldquo;full&rdquo; and well-balanced, with only a couple of ornament types to help the decorations flow.</p><p> </p></div>
