"I can’t say enough good things about finally getting to hire Amanda and watching her take my style, family needs, & preferences, and turn it into a reality! We were moving from an apartment to a house (while pregnant), and gave her a blank canvas of 7 rooms to design. Not only did she answer EVERY question I had on the daily, but she took on this huge project and delivered beautiful designs completely customized to our liking, while managing my budget, our closing/moving timeline, and picking out beautiful pieces that were even better when I saw them in person. The coolest part was watching her care for our home like it was her own. My husband and I are in love with our new space, and for the first time, want to spend our free time at HOME enjoying what Amanda helped bring to life. This was genuinely such a fun experience in what could have been a stressful new life event and I can’t be more grateful or recommend it enough. Just pull the trigger and book a call. It’s worth it 10x over"

"Horatio Sanders is an honest and skilled contractor that will give you quality work for a very fair price. We've had the pleasure of working with Horatio and his team several times and we were very happy with the results. We recently hired them again to repair and paint the entire downstairs of our home. They did a great job. His price was very reasonable (we had several other bids) We highly recommend Sanders II and plan on hiring them again in the spring for more projects"

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.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

On average, the cost to hire an interior designer or decorator is approximately $8,200. However, the total price can range widely from $200 for a simple consultation to $65,000 for a comprehensive whole-home design project. Most residential designers charge an hourly rate, typically between $50 and $200 per hour, though this can increase to $500 per hour in high-demand areas.

Several factors influence the final cost, including the size of your home, your location, the quality of decor, and the scope of services required. The price will be higher if services include not just consultation but also implementation, material purchasing, home staging, or digital design mock-ups. It's important to note that these cost estimates generally cover the designer's service fees and do not include the price of materials, furniture, or decor, which can be a significant additional expense.

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.
