Q: What’s the difference between a home stager and an interior designer?

• <div><p>The main difference between a home stager and an interior designer is that the former creates temporary, generally appealing spaces, while the latter creates personalized design choices for your permanent home. A home stager seeks to depersonalize your home while also showing off the best features of the home to potential buyers. An interior designer works with you to infuse your personal style into the decor in your home. You&rsquo;ll typically only hire a local home stager when selling your home.</p></div>

Q: What architectural style is most associated with Arts and Crafts?

• <div><p>When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.</p></div>

Q: How do I find the right interior designer?

• <div><p>While finding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/interior-designers/">local interior designer</a> whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications.
