"In the time we have worked with Susan, we have experienced an amazing improvement in the aesthetics and the functionality of our home. Our new home design and furnishings not only look fantastic, we find ourselves both using our spaces more and enjoying them more! We have been receiving countless compliments on the new look in our home, and also now in our backyard. Susan is an incredibly expert and talented interior design specialist, and she is extremely gifted with building, exterior design, and landscape design guidance as well. We very highly recommend Susan."

"Tess is wonderful and exactly what I wanted. Over the years we've collected lots of "things" - oriental rugs, artwork, travel finds, etc. And I love the outdoors, indoor plants, and lots of greenery. I've shied away from interior designers,, having heard tales of total makeovers with new everything, budget overruns and personal bias. I really wanted someone who could work with precious things I have or need, and at the same time could help me part with some things I thought I couldn't get rid of. I also needed a serious jolt of creativity and color. Tess to the rescue! She listens and has the patience of a saint. She came equipped with all kinds of samples to help me hone the "look". She was realistic about my budget, sensitive to my needs. Her talent defies description. I immediately signed on for a second project, the master bedroom. I will return to her again for more specific treatments around the house. I can't recommend her highly enough."

"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."

"Division we had for our dining room was achieved. We had cabinetry and bookshelves in our dining room that were replaced by curio cabinets, and totally repainted to match our furniture. US pro painting did a wonderful job with flawless painting, reinstallation of lower cabinets and installation of new curio glass cabinets. JR, the owner, was very cooperative, and provided photos at each step of the renovation, since we were away during that time. If we have a painting or renovation project, we will use them again."

"Akeva is an insightful organizer and talented interior designer whose work truly transforms spaces. When she redesigned our living room, it completely came to life—it felt warmer, more open, and intentionally curated. Her attention to detail, ability to balance aesthetics with function, and eye for color and space made a noticeable difference. She listens carefully to your vision and brings it to reality in a way that feels both personal and elevated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any home project."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

It is usually worth it to hire an interior decorator, especially if you want your home to have cohesiveness and look like it belongs in a catalog. Interior decorators can be quite expensive, but decorating isn’t an ongoing cost, so you can expect to pay once for the service rather than on an ongoing basis. Interior decorating can be especially worthwhile if you’re selling your home, as house staging can make your property feel more welcoming and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.

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.

It’s often worth hiring a closet designer, even though the process can be expensive. Custom closets drastically improve the usability and convenience of your living space, but they also tend to improve your home value. Not only will your custom closet improve your living experience, but you’ll likely see more than a 50% return on your investment when you sell your home.

Services include layout planning, furniture selection, color coordination, and lighting design to optimize your space.
