Customers say: Quality work

"We recently bought a townhome in Newton and hired Susan to help us create a family home that would be comfortable for my husband and I and inviting to our nearby children and grandchildren. Susan is a talented interior designer who listens carefully to her clients, offers choices and tactfully guides her clients toward an aesthetic that both appeals to her client and works aesthetically. She is diligent, often thinks out of the box and is fun to work with. Her help has bern invaluable to us and we highly recommend her as a sensitive talented fun designer."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Tess helped transform our pink and black tile embarrassment of a bathroom - to a beautiful and serene retreat. Her additions of crown molding, wainscoting, and green/grey and cream color scheme fits with our house and lifts our spirits whenever we open the door. Working with Tess is a pleasure. She makes the process fun. We are so happy with the results. We will work with her on all our design projects!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.

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.  

Hiring a high-quality interior decorator should always start with reading through online reviews to see the kind of experience other homeowners have had. You can narrow down your search and then ask the remaining companies for references and examples of their past work. It’s during this stage that you’re likely to find a company that suits your specific tastes and one that has experience with the style you want to bring into your home. You should consider calling references to ask about the process and the homeowners’ experiences with the decorator before, during, and after service.

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.

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.
