"United Kitchen and Bath remodeled our master bath in 2018 and the work done was exceptional. We hired them this year to remodel our kitchen. We could not be happier with the outcome! It is beautiful. Alex worked with us in choosing the cabinets, countertop and backsplash. They compliment each other beautifully! All the workers were excellent and skilled at their job. They also replaced the carpet in our sunroom with flooring as well as replacing a wet bar. United Kitchen and Bath will be the first place we go for our future remodeling needs!"

"I highly recommend ANF kitchen and bath remodeling for a remodel project. ANF was extremely helpful in coming up with a design for our kitchen and dining area that met our familyâ s needs, better used the space, and was beautiful. They answered all of our questions about the process, the design, the cost, the schedule, etc. (and we had a lot!). And their responsiveness and helpfulness continued throughout the entire project: they provided helpful recommendations on products, quickly and effectively handled all issues that arose, and kept us informed of our options (e.g., they discovered there was not insulation in a part of our ceiling, the first quartz slab for the island had a small crack). They were flexible and accommodated our schedule, including scheduling some work on Saturdays that we would be out of town to minimize disruption to our life. All work was completed on schedule and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely use ANF again and highly recommend them!"

"My wife and I have had lots of work done in the home. ABC has been the highest quality and value company we have worked with. They are extremely honest and they back up their work. If there are any issues at all they come back and do what they need to satisfy the customer. Neighbors have used them as well and have the same experience."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. 

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.

How long it takes a kitchen designer to complete their work ranges greatly, from just a few hours, to a couple of weeks. Their timeline depends on how complex the design is and the scope of your kitchen remodel. Some remodels are aesthetic and can be as simple as adding new countertops or different cabinets. Those designs will take less time than, for instance, a full gut of your kitchen with a whole new layout and all new appliances.
