Customers say: Quality work

"Susan recently helped us design our living room. We really like the result and could not have come up with the color palette on our own. She was available on phone, via emails and, when we needed her, also in person. She was extremely prompt in her response. And her prices were extremely reasonably for the amount of time/work she spend on our project. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer."

Customers say: Super punctual

"This is the second time that we’ve engaged Tess to help us with interior design. She’s done room redesigns as well as color consultations for us. Both times, she was wonderful. Tess has a unique talent for taking people’s design ideas and impressions and turning that into reality. She’s thoughtful about both her clients desires as well as the realities of their situation and uses this information to create spaces that are inviting and functional. We’d absolutely recommend her again."

"Block made this process very simple (or as simple as it can be), and we are really happy with the design assistance we got, as well as them walking us through the design phase, procurement, board package, etc. Would definitely use again!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

Professional Christmas decorators offer everything from hanging lights in and outside your home to decorating the tree and adding decor around the house. Decorators may focus on porches, foyers, staircases, mantelpieces, and other similar focal areas.

One downside of installing a soffit above your kitchen cabinets is that it may make your kitchen appear smaller. This visual illusion occurs because the soffit may make the cabinetry and ceiling appear shorter. However, the benefit of being able to hide unsightly wires or plumbing or HVAC fixtures may be worth the disadvantage of a smaller-seeming kitchen. Consider making your kitchen appear larger by finding ways to add more light and visual appeal to the high spots in the room.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

Interior decorating services usually include an initial consultation to discuss your needs and determine a style and budget that works for your space. From there, your professional designer could offer a wide range of services, including the following:

  • Determining a useful layout of furniture and decor in your home

  • Choosing flooring, paint colors, trim, and other accents

  • Coordinating color schemes and design styles throughout your rooms

  • Choosing, purchasing, and coordinating the installation of furniture

  • Choosing and installing pillows, wall hangings, and other decor throughout your home
