"The overall experience with Texas Select Builders was amazing. From the first phone call to the final day on site, Jim was a true professional. Nearly every day of the weeks long job, Jim (TSB owner), checked in at the site and had some sort of communication with me as to what was happening that day and the days to come. Jim and his team of professionals were on time, hard working, and polite. The job was started earlier than expected, and was completed faster than quoted, with impeccable quality. The new office I now have is exactly what I wanted, and TSB brought it to life. Highly recommend Texas Select Builders for any sort of general contract work."

"Meghan is a professional and creative designer. She has excellent taste and is extraordinarily gifted with spatial design. Her ability to creatively rework spaces to maximize light, flow, function and aesthetics, is a gift! She listens well and does an amazing job of merging our ideas with her knowledge and experience for an upleveled end result. We started by collaborating on a kitchen redesign, and loved working with her so much that she has now helped redo our dining room, assisted in wallpaper, furniture, tile and lighting selection, reupholstered furniture, and much more. From small textile changes, to complete house flips Meghan can do it all. She is passionate, inspired, committed and present. I highly recommend Oak & Ivy."

"They were incredible. Nikki was a pleasure to collaborate with, and I truly mean collaborate, because it felt like a partnership. They really helped me and my husband complete the design for our home, she knew we wanted a mid-century look, and we got it. I was most impressed with her high attention to detail, the fact that the project came in within budget, and that it was completed within the timeframe provided. The end result was amazing."

"Chandra took an impossibly small 1960's kitchen and turned it into a very functional modern design. After our initial consultation she came up with several designs that almost worked for us. We were able to make design changes via email and she sent a pdf of the new ideas within a matter of a day or two. I would recommend her unquestionably to anyone looking to have a kitchen designed or any other interior design project."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. 

A certified kitchen designer (or CKD) is a certification given by the National Kitchen and Bath Association. These designers have completed the necessary hours of training and education to specialize in kitchens, and therefore understand the wide variety of project needs (like plumbing, electrical, appliances, and more). Most pros will make their certifications known on their website, but you can also ask during your search for a local kitchen designer.

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.

Designers optimize space, improve aesthetics, and recommend durable, high-quality materials.

Hiring a high-quality interior decorator should always start with reading through online reviews to see the kind of experience other homeowners have had. You can narrow down your search and then ask the remaining companies for references and examples of their past work. It’s during this stage that you’re likely to find a company that suits your specific tastes and one that has experience with the style you want to bring into your home. You should consider calling references to ask about the process and the homeowners’ experiences with the decorator before, during, and after service.
