"The project manager (Kadir) and designer (Leah) are professional, experienced, and customer-focused. They provided quality materials and skilled craftsmen/builders, making the remodel as painless as possible. I also appreciated the fact that they did not try to "upsell" me. The designer (Leah) is gifted and her vision helped us reengineer and maximize a tiny space - turning it into a luxury bathroom. She and owner, Joe, helped me keep within my price range, while still exceeding my expectations with masterful work. It's beautiful, Leah. Thank you all so very much! I'll be reaching out for an estimate on Kitchen counter tops in the Spring. I thank you all! I highly recommend Blackstone!"

"Gary was professional and listened to my requirements. Great communication through the whole design process. My addition was unique and unusual, attached to a A-Frame home, into a bank, with a flat roof. I would highly recommend Kapital Drafting without hesitation."

"Berny Hintz is a super architect who values the customer/client relationship. His work is outstanding--we did not have a good idea of how to reformat our master bedroom/bath to make it useful and convenient to our house design. Berny came up with wonderful ideas. He has jumped through "hoops" when county permit issues arose. He created a 3-d visual of our renovations that we could view using the client version of the software. Berny has been realistic in time-frame of the design phase, construction phase, and cost expectations. We are just finished with design now and met with contractors."

"I was matched with Lily in the site after requesting assistance with design services following remodeling work in our townhouse. Lily is fantastic to work with. We engaged with her both on an hourly consulting basis and for a design project to lay out our main level. The personal service, her availability, and above all her design were phenomenal. The highly interactive process allowed Lily to really get to understand my personal style and inspiration and reflect that back in the ultimate design she presented. In everything from floor layout to furniture, light fixture accessory selection to paint colors and the flow through the whole space to tie it all together, we couldnâ t be more pleased. Her Zbox option is a really unique approach that was both cost effective and perfect for what we needed, and also highly detailed, thorough and personal. She really â gotâ the style and feel we were trying to achieve without knowing how to get there ourselves. Iâ ve already shared her name and contact information with 5 different colleagues and friends. I highly recommend working with Lily!"

Residential Design questions, answered by experts

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

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.

How long it takes to build an in-law suite will vary by type. The time it takes to build an addition will typically be less than for completely new construction. Expect to spend about two months if you convert a basement, attic, or other existing room in your home. New structures can take up to five months, plus up to two months to receive the required permits.

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.

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.
