Customers say: Quality work

"We would highly recommend Rudy Quispe for any home improvement project. He recently renovated a bathroom for us, and did an outstanding job. It was a challenging project, with a small space, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. With a contractor, you look for reliability, reasonable pricing, and quality. Rudy checks the box on all three. On top of that, he is great to work with and has excellent design ideas. We plan to work with Rudy on any of our home projects in the future. We have worked with many contractors over the past 40 years, and Rudy is top of the list."

"Perfection! Kreative Barns did everything from design to permits to helping me choosing the materials for the floors, to getting the air conditioning installed , designing the path and the landscaping.. They went above and beyond what was required. The people who came to the house were very nice and responsible about Covid 19 precautions. They started on time and finished on time . The new room is more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. I am extremely grateful for their good ideas and the quality workmanship"

Residential Design 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.

How long it takes to build an in-law suite will vary by type. The time it takes to build an addition will typically be less than for completely new construction. Expect to spend about two months if you convert a basement, attic, or other existing room in your home. New structures can take up to five months, plus up to two months to receive the required permits.

Most interior designers have at least a four-year degree, if not an advanced degree in interior design. Additionally, many states require interior designers to be licensed. If your state does not require licensing, interior designers can take a licensing exam with the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Overall, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but most licenses require certain education levels and experience to qualify. To check the qualifications of your interior designer, use Angi’s state licensing tool.

DIY is possible with basic tools. Professional designers ensure optimal layout, functionality, and aesthetics.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.
