"Colette is a very personable person and I really enjoyed working with her. She is a wonderful listener and really took her time to show me options in person after carefully walking through my house to get a sense of who I am. She even made me some drawings as I told her I am a very visual person that has had bad experiences in the past. Seeing this was the first time I have ever hired an Interior Designer I would say it was extremely successful! The guest bedroom is transformed and I absolutely love it!!!! Thank you Colette!!! You will be hearing from me again!"

"I downsized to a condo that was very tired when I bought it. It needed a complete overhaul and I had no idea of where to start. I met with Teang and she asked me lots of questions and showed me many concepts and was happy to work with me even though I really had no idea of what I wanted or my budget for the project. The only guidance I could give was I wanted a place that felt like home. I need to see something with my eyes to know if I will like it or not. I have a hard time to visualize what something is going to look like from a sketch or description. Teang had many ideas for different areas of my home from structure to colors and materials and I had to just trust that she knew what she was doing. But in every case I loved the end result and it was better than I could have hoped for. Teang was willing to work with me in the way I wanted to do the project. I wanted to use a contractor that I had used in many projects in the past for some of the work and I wanted to do some of the work myself. And she supplied the contractors for the more complicated tasks. It all ran smoothly. I look forward to working with her on the last phase as we remodel the bedrooms. I highly recommend her for any design and build project."

"Stradinger (Tim) & Bobby far exceeded our expectations! Never hired a contractor before. They did the design; executed the construction; always were prompt, courteous & patient with us (VERY PATIENT). Despite the near zero weather, they were here. The attention to detail and quality were exceptional! Stayed within budget which afforded us the ability to put in new flooring; new laundry room; insulate the attic and many details & ideas that really makes our home OUR HOME. I would strongly consider & recommend Stradinger Building to EVERYONE!! COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!...THANKS TIM & BOBBY!!!"

"I found Patricia Interiors LLC on Facebook. My designer, Natalie is top notch. I hired her services immediately without references or other vetting . I thought "Is this a good idea? It absolutely is. I feel like my projects are her priority. She provides different options always keeping in mind my preferences through every stage of the process. Natalie does it all from helping you pick your style to arranging the contractors to managing the project. I've enjoyed working with someone I can rely on 100%. . Considering her integrity and great gift of interior design, she is the only choice."

"We hired Patricia Interiors for our master bedroom renovation and I cannot say enough about our experience with them! I needed major help with design and not only did they design something beautiful for my husband and I, but they were so easy to work with. I had a few ideas in mind and they listened and really understood my tastes. They helped me with custom draperies (GORGEOUS!) and created a master bedroom space that is calming and serene. Its my favorite room in the house :) They helped me pick out new furniture, bedding, accessories, artwork- you name it! I would not have not been able to create this perfect space without them. They were timely, patient, and wonderful to work with! I highly recommend their services and will definitely be using them again for future renovations!"

"Although there is still design work needed, the design and color/product selection was exactly what I was looking for. Antonella has done great providing an overall design that meets my needs while working within my limited budget. So far, hiring VitaBella Interiors was one of my better decisions for this project."

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.

Decorating a tree yourself will only take between one and two hours, but a professional designer may take more time to create their vision. When hiring a pro, assume the work will take a minimum of three to four hours.

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.

One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.

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.
