"I was impressed with Kathleen. She was willing to travel and work with me. Her professionalism and "off the top" ideas for my place were great. However, I chose to go with the sister of friend. Nothing toward Kathleen and her abilities. I highly recommend her and hope that my project with the sister goes well, because I gave up an excellent designer."

Customers say: Quick response

"Martin Palumbo's pricing was very competitive, he talked us through the process, took care of permits and dealing with our town. Throughout the entire process he kept us advised. He is diligent in his work. We had a terrible Saturday night storm, he came on Sunday to check on his work and reinforce the project. I can't express how happy we were with the work he did and how much he cares about the quality of his work. I would l recommend him for any job and look forward to the next project and hiring Martin again."

"I have used Richard and Plumberry designs for two major renovations- a kitchen and master and guest baths. In both cases, Richard was able to come up with a new design layout to make the spaces more open and functional. The finishes he selected were beautiful and the process was so seamless with him project managing the contractor and deliveries. I would not hesitate to use Richard again and highly recommend them."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

Establishing a whole-house color palette gives your home a sense of uniformity and makes your interior look more visually appealing. Overdoing a single color can make your home feel monotonous, while too many colors can create a sense of chaos and disorganization. When in doubt, choose a foundation color and then use complementary colors to accent.

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.

Yes, professional designers collaborate with contractors to ensure seamless execution of the design plan.

Regular meetings, reviewing drafts, and providing input on materials help align the project with your vision.
