The art and science of designing homes is a craft that I have acquired in my 20 years as an architect. I have designed homes and commercial buildings in four states. In the past year, I have built my business in Sylva, North Carolina. I have a small staff of 2 who help me with the day-to-day of the business. I dedicate myself to doing all the architectural work, coordinating other disciplines, and providing full-time attention to your project. I have managed the design and construction of mansions and I have also done remodels for family members where I know how expensive a building can be without a plan.

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

You won’t find anything inside a cupola on a house because it’s hollow (think of an upside-down cup), allowing air to ventilate out of a roof via vents and light to come in via windows. They also usually have a base, vents around the middle (usually louvers), and a pointed cap at the top.

Often those unaware of the differences use the terms interior designer and interior decorator interchangeably. There’s a reason why interior designer fees are typically more than those of decorators. 

Decorators focus solely on dressing the room with color, furnishings, and finishes. Designers have a broader remit, covering structural planning, layout, function, and general aesthetics. Because of the additional skills needed as a designer, they’ll have studied in the field and should have certification and possibly licensing.

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.

Light-colored paneling–like white or ivory–can make a room look larger by extending the visual aspect of a room’s size, like a mirror. Dark-colored paneling–like oak and mahogany–can make a room feel small and closed in. However, for those looking to create a more intimate space, this isn’t necessarily a negative. 

Hiring someone to decorate your Christmas tree costs about $400 on average, ranging from $200 to $1,500 or more, depending on the type of decorating service, size of the tree, location, and materials used to decorate the tree. Price ranges vary by service type:

  • Handyperson: $60–$125 per hour

  • Professional light installer: $300 per hour

  • Interior decorator: $50–$200 per hour

  • Christmas tree designer: $600–$1,500 per tree
