"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."

"Mr. Terry was awesome! This is my first review I am writing. I felt I needed to write something as his work was so outstanding. He repaired 16 windows and did it beautifully. Marvin's quoted over $40K!! He was able to do what was needed for much much less. He was honest, professional, meticulous, extremely knowledgeable and kind. Miles above the window brand quotes which are ridiculous. Would strongly recommend if you need any window repairs!!!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

Whether hiring an interior designer is worth the cost depends on your budget, the scope of the project, and your own design and project management skills. For larger projects or those beyond your DIY skills, an interior designer is often a worthwhile investment. The benefits include realizing the best layout, functionality, and decor for your lifestyle and taste; managing the project to keep it on track and within budget; serving as a point of contact for contractors; accessing discounts from suppliers; and assisting with home staging for a sale.

Costs depend on project complexity, materials, labor, permits, and required revisions.

Hiring someone to decorate your Christmas tree costs about $400 on average, ranging from $200 to $1,500 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:

  • Handyperson: $60–$125 per hour

  • Professional light installer: $300 per hour

  • Interior decorator: $50–$200 per hour

  • Christmas tree designer: $600–$1,500 per tree
