Can I do interior decorating myself?

• <div><p>Any homeowner can carry out interior decoration themselves, but many struggle to devise a cohesive and appealing design that balances comfort and aesthetics. Interior designers are not only trained in design principles, but they also design home interiors for a living, so they’re much more likely to produce a final product that meets your needs. Hiring a professional can sometimes lead to savings on the materials, as some experts know how to source more affordable decor and furniture via their professional connections.</p></div>

Q: What are Neoclassical colors?

• <div><p>Neoclassical architecture is all about simplicity and balance without losing the drama of its style. White, gray, cream, and other soft pastels are common. Many homeowners choose a deep natural hue for a pop of color, such as jewel tones or black accents. Modern neoclassical architecture also incorporates brick facades, bringing red into the color scheme.</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>

Q: How much does it cost to hire someone to decorate your Christmas tree?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-tree-decorating-service-cost.htm">Hiring someone to decorate your Christmas tree costs</a> about <b>$400</b> on average, ranging from <b>$200 to $1,500</b> or more, depending on the type of decorating service, size of the tree, location, and materials used to decorate the tree. Price ranges vary by service type:</p><ul><li><p>Handyperson: $60&ndash;$125 per hour</p></li><li><p>Professional light installer: $300 per hour</p></li><li><p>Interior decorator: $50&ndash;$200 per hour</p></li><li><p>Christmas tree designer: $600&ndash;$1,500 per tree</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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>

Randy comes out first for the estimate and work that needs to be done. You schedule with the office, and then Randy's team comes out and fixes the problem. Turns out that our framing was interior, so it had to be replaced with exterior wood. And it looks great.
