Welcome to Elevated Elegance Interiors where I strive to create the perfect marriage of vintage with contemporary. A trip to the furniture store to purchase a new set is never as exciting as sourcing quality vintage pieces to incorporate into your space. I have a passion for interlacing old with new and perhaps it's a matter of new window treatments and a reupholstered sofa to redoing an entire space with a mix of modern and vintage. Let's lacquer, reupholster and up-cycle whether it's your new, existing or sourced pieces, let's get creative and have some fun!

"Chrissy is an exceptional interior designer! I hired her for ideas to transform my living room, and she went above and beyond. She carefully listened to my preferences and worked within my budget, suggesting creative ideas I never would have considered. Her meticulous attention to detail and proactive communication with vendors were outstanding. The contractors she recommended were professional, immaculate, and delivered amazing results. I couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out, and I will absolutely be using Chrissy’s services again in the future!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

Deciding to hire an interior designer or an interior decorator is entirely dependent on what you’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. 

If you want to add furnishings to your home but it’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.  

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.

One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

There are a few ways to cut down on your overall project costs for an interior designer if you want to update your home on a budget. Some ways to reduce costs include:

  • Purchasing your own products, which can save significant money on commission costs for your designer. 

  • Design one room at a time versus your whole home, to stick to a current budget. 

  • Only paying for a consultation, which will give you expert tips for DIY design.
