How can I save money when hiring a holiday decorator?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Is an interior designer different from an interior decorator?

• <div><p>Often those unaware of the differences use the terms <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-interior-designer-decorator.htm">interior designer and interior decorator</a> interchangeably. There’s a reason why interior designer fees are typically more than those of decorators. </p><p>Decorators focus solely on dressing the room with color, furnishings, and finishes. Designers have a broader remit, covering structural planning, layout, function, and general aesthetics. Because of the additional skills needed as a designer, they’ll have studied in the field and should have certification and possibly licensing.</p></div>

How much does it cost to have your house decorated for Christmas?

• <div><p>The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between <b>$50 and $150 per hour </b>on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as <b>$200 </b>for a couple of hours of decorating. Interior decorators might also bill<b> $5 to $12 per square foot</b>, or a flat rate of <b>$500 to $1,300 per room</b>.<b> </b>You can also pay to have your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-tree-decorating-service-cost.htm">Christmas tree professionally decorated</a> for an average of <b>$200 to $600</b>. Contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/interior-decorators/">local interior decorator</a> for a specific quote.</p></div>

Q: Can I mix cabinet handle types?

• <div><p>Yes. It&rsquo;s common to have a combination of knobs and pulls for drawers and cabinets. There are usually a few different-sized cabinet doors or drawer fronts that look better with different scales of handles, or you might prefer one type of handle for a drawer front and a different one for a cabinet door. Be sure to choose handles of the same overall type when you mix and match and avoid using more than three types in one room to make sure everything flows together.</p></div>

Q: What qualifications should an interior designer have?

• <div><p>Most interior designers have at least a four-year degree, if not an advanced degree in interior design. Additionally, many states require interior designers to be licensed. If your state does not require licensing, interior designers can take a licensing exam with the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Overall, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but most licenses require certain education levels and experience to qualify. To check the qualifications of your interior designer, use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a>.</p></div>

The ladies did a great job, the gel manicures last a very long time as they use real gel polishes not regular polish with a gel coat. Many design books to choose from. Ask for pricing up front, pricing in books are for polish only not including services like pedicures or manicures, tips etc.
