"As part of our remodeling project, we asked Wendy to assist us in selecting paint colors for 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a hallway. Wendy was responsive to our inquiry and arranged to visit our house. Wendy arrived right on time and offered her recommendations for paint colors based on our decor (bedding, furniture, faucets, tile). Wendy's recommendations included positives and negatives associated with various choices--we found her insights to be very helpful in identifying the right color choices for us. Wendy was very easy to work with and we'd use her again when we need interior decorating assistance."

"Lori is absolutely amazing. She transformed my home office from a blank cream canvas into a rich and textured oasis within the house. I feel so professional and have a beautiful backdrop for my calls (she did wonders designing my built-ins)...I love going in every morning. Absolutely everyone I meet with comments on this. She is great with color and furniture, and knows just how to accessorize the room in beautiful balance. Lori took careful stock of the rest of the home, listened to my wishes, but also made really good suggestions that pushed me slightly out of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I would recommend her to anyone looking to bring elegance and meaning to their space. As an added bonus, she's a delight!"

"Roman is extremely talented and conscientious. He is very thoughtful and the quality of work is exceptional. He does not take any shortcuts and neither does he suggest one. He is a bit slow and might not be suitable for someone who is in a rush. We paid a flat rate and might have been a bit pricey, but we believe we got great value for our money."

"I worked with Bonnie at Interiors by Decorating Den/Jacquard Design Team. She was great. She provided several options and then helped me put the final concept together. She was very responsive and allowed me some flexibility that allowed me to stay within my budget. I would definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future."

"Jane was great to work with. We were doing a major remodeling of our first floor, as well as updating furniture and appliances, powder room, and updating our den, and needed both architectural design and interior design. Jane was supportive and patient in walking us through from our general ideas to specifics, and we are very happy with the results. Would highly recommend working with her and have recommended her to friends."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.

It is usually worth it to hire an interior decorator, especially if you want your home to have cohesiveness and look like it belongs in a catalog. Interior decorators can be quite expensive, but decorating isn’t an ongoing cost, so you can expect to pay once for the service rather than on an ongoing basis. Interior decorating can be especially worthwhile if you’re selling your home, as house staging can make your property feel more welcoming and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.

Professional holiday decorating services cost between $300 and $2,500 or more, with an average cost of about $1,500. The total price depends on the size of your home, the extent of the work, your location, and whether materials are included. Simple interior decoration may cost around $300, while a combination of interior and exterior work often totals around $800. For large or extensive design services, you could pay $2,500 or more. Common service costs can include: exterior holiday light installation ($400), Christmas tree decoration ($200–$600), interior holiday design ($50–$200 per hour), and holiday landscaping ($50–$100 per hour). Note that some prices may only include labor, not the cost of the decorations themselves.

A pool builder can advise you on the best design for your property and vision, and can walk you through the process from design to a swim-ready pool. Knowing which questions to ask a pool builder can help ensure you choose the right person for the job.

Look to the professionals when figuring out the secrets to styling a bookshelf. Place decor in varying heights, mix colors and textures, and always create a balanced overall design by alternating where you place extra decor items. Most importantly, don't overfill the shelf. Leave a bit of open space to deter clutter.
