"I cannot say enough positive about CJ. He was extraordinary to work with. I wish Iâ  d met him sooner in my design process as he helped me stave off a few terrible choices I was about to make prior to his involvement!! He was cordial, knowledgeable and quite timely. I would look forward to working with him 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.

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.  

It depends on the scope of the project and your confidence in your own design capabilities. If you’re simply replacing a few appliances or want to change the cabinetry, you most likely do not need a designer. If you’re doing a full reno, you should bring in a pro unless you have a very strong design sense and want to spend hours laboring over the various technical details.

You can use alternating weatherproof ribbons or string lights in red and white. Hang them at a slight angle and wrap them around the columns, working from top to bottom.

Yes, professional designers collaborate with contractors to ensure seamless execution of the design plan.
