"I am so happy that I found Lori. My previous designer was good but her choices have not stood the test of time. I like things simple and very clean, but not boring so I hired Lori to refresh the space with new smaller pieces (eg drink tables, lamps) and colors (artwork, pillows etc). She listened to be carefully and knew how to take the basics and turn them into something elevated. I love coming home now to my new rooms and entertaining guests. I am eager and excited for her to get started on the TV room!"

"Dave installed beautiful full bathroom floor tile as well as installed a pine safety door above my basement stairs. He was quick, professional and highly skilled. Both jobs came out perfect. He also cleaned up as if he was never there and charged a very competitive and fair price for his skilled services. Ià ¢à  à  ll never go to anyone for my home needs. This company is the best."

"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."

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.

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.

Establishing a whole-house color palette gives your home a sense of uniformity and makes your interior look more visually appealing. Overdoing a single color can make your home feel monotonous, while too many colors can create a sense of chaos and disorganization. When in doubt, choose a foundation color and then use complementary colors to accent.

It’s often worth hiring a closet designer, even though the process can be expensive. Custom closets drastically improve the usability and convenience of your living space, but they also tend to improve your home value. Not only will your custom closet improve your living experience, but you’ll likely see more than a 50% return on your investment when you sell your home.

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.
