Helping you create comfortable and beautiful living spaces that meet your family's needs is our focus. Seamlessly weaving eco-friendly design principles and products into the design so that you will benefit from a healthier living environment is our specialty. Working with private developers, club owners, and committees to design and furnish eco-friendly clubhouses is our subspecialty. Randy Trainor,Allied ASID, Greenleader AP, and owner of C Randolph Trainor, LLC, is an award-winning interior designer. She writes a regular column,titled Designing Wisely, for the Home & Garden supplement of New Hampshire Seacoast Newspapers. A recent client wrote this testimonial -"There are many "best parts" in working with Randy. She is encouraging, gracious, thoughtful, non-judgmental and reassuring. Her questions helped me clarify my thoughts, and she had this great ability to move me from my preconceived ideas to a finished product that I thoroughly love."

"Randy from CRT Interior Design saved me thousands of dollars. 10 minutes after walking into my house Randy had her sleeves rolled up and started moving furniture around. She took items I already had and changed their placements for that WOW factor. Randy left me with the knowledge that in decorating, just because I can, doesn't mean I always should. I still contact her when I have any other questions and always hear back from her within 24 hours. I strongly recommend CRT Interior Design to anyone that has interior design questions and wants to avoid costly mistakes. It's such a great feeling to sit back and know your home's interior is Trainor designed to fit you and your family's lifestyle."

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with CJ and we cannot recommend him enough! I had struggled with our living room for years and was never truly happy. Not only did CJ help us design and create a beautiful living room, he taught me how to be at peace with my decision-making. He is the whole package: creative, professional, patient and understanding. My husband and I have very different decorating styles and CJ was able to make us both very happy! He is a principled, kind person with tremendous integrity. Iâ m sure our Project was not one of his biggest, yet his passion and dedication made us feel like truly valued clients. Working with CJ was an absolute joy, and I feel that joy over and over every time I look at my living room!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

There are a few ways to cut down on your overall project costs for an interior designer if you want to update your home on a budget. Some ways to reduce costs include:

  • Purchasing your own products, which can save significant money on commission costs for your designer. 

  • Design one room at a time versus your whole home, to stick to a current budget. 

  • Only paying for a consultation, which will give you expert tips for DIY design. 

With a little ingenuity, an old fireplace insert can be transformed into a decorative centerpiece that infuses new life into any room. Consider placing LED lights or candles inside to create a captivating display that simulates the warm glow of a fire. Another option is to repurpose the insert as a charming bookshelf by adding rustic shelves within the firebox. For plant lovers, converting the fireplace insert into an indoor garden is a perfect way to bring nature indoors. You can also transform it into a stylish wine rack.

Deciding to hire an interior designer or an interior decorator is entirely dependent on what you’re looking for out of your project and your budget. Interior decorators typically cost less than interior designers, both in hourly rates and overall project costs. 

If you want to add furnishings to your home but it’s otherwise set with permanent fixtures, an interior decorator would be best for you. However, if you are looking to remodel your home or are building a new home and would like help with permanent structures like cabinets, showers, and overall layouts, an interior designer is best.  

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.

Hiring an interior designer is often worth the investment, especially for larger projects beyond DIY interior design and project management skills. However, the decision to hire an interior designer depends on your budget and the size of the project. Some benefits of hiring an interior designer include:

  • Realizing the best layout and decor for optimal functionality of the space for your taste, budget, and lifestyle

  • Managing your project to keep the job on track and within budget

  • Assistance with home staging ahead of home sale

  • Serving as a point of contact for contractors

  • Accessing discounts from local suppliers
