What questions should I ask an interior designer?

• <div><p>Before hiring an interior designer, ask a few questions to better understand how they work, what’s expected of you, and what they promise to deliver. </p><ul><li><p>How long will the project take to complete?</p></li><li><p>What type of services do you offer?</p></li><li><p>Can you provide a project estimate?</p></li><li><p>Do you work with subcontractors?</p></li><li><p>Are you licensed or certified in this state?</p></li><li><p>Do you have a portfolio of previous work I can review?</p></li><li><p>May I contact your customer references?</p></li><li><p>How do you handle change orders?</p></li><li><p>How do you handle payment?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How can I save money when hiring a holiday decorator?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I mix cabinet handle types?

• <div><p>Yes. It&rsquo;s common to have a combination of knobs and pulls for drawers and cabinets. There are usually a few different-sized cabinet doors or drawer fronts that look better with different scales of handles, or you might prefer one type of handle for a drawer front and a different one for a cabinet door. Be sure to choose handles of the same overall type when you mix and match and avoid using more than three types in one room to make sure everything flows together.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for a design consultation?

• <div><p>To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.</p></div>

Q: Does crown molding make a room look smaller?

• <div><p>You may think that adding crown molding will shrink a room, but in fact, it has the opposite effect. The reason crown molding makes a room bigger is that it draws the eyes upward to the ceiling, which gives the impression of a taller wall. Just be careful that you don't crowd the room&mdash; if you have a lot of artwork or intricate wallpaper, crown molding may not be a good idea.</p></div>

Stephen and his team did an incredible job turning our outdated kitchen into our dream kitchen. They were polite, professional, and answered all of our questions. They were also able to include all of our “wants” into the design. We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!
