"We had a large blank wall and high ceilings. The space needed something more. Jen was great to work with. She asked what our goal was for the space . She gave us a few options then designed a wall unit with a mantle. It’s beautiful. We love the new addition to our home."

"Last week I had Trident Contracting replace my roof and siding, I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial inspection with Nathan and Robert they both clearly explained all my options without any pressure, to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Nathan was great about working directly with my insurance company and providing them with all the necessary information. My insurance company didn’t make things easy and Nathan continued working with them to get the roof and siding approved due to storm damage. The crew was professional, arriving on time and working tirelessly throughout the day to finish the job in the same day. I was especially impressed with their attention to detail—they made sure to protect my landscaping and did an absolutely immaculate job cleaning up afterward. A project manager was on-site to ensure everything went smoothly and continued to follow up."

"We are a commercial business located in Georgetown Washington DC. We hired Aaron to help us acquire a floor plan and site plan. Not only did Aaron provide quality work, he responded to our messages/emails right away and he completed our drawings before the deadline we needed them by. It was very refreshing to have an overall positive experience doing business with this company! Thank you again."

"Oscar and his guys were top notch. They quoted a very reasonable bid for the amount of work and performed on budget and on schedule. I ended up using them for the rest of my basement remodel (in addition to the plumbing that I originally hired them for) because I was so happy with the customer service and professionalism. The remodel is nearly complete and I am very happy with the progress and work done so far down there. Will definitely reuse them in the future for other projects."

Interior Design and Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, there are many different types of chandeliers. The most common styles include candle chandeliers, antler chandeliers, crystal chandeliers, glass chandeliers, modern chandeliers, drum chandeliers, and bowl chandeliers.

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.

One downside of installing a soffit above your kitchen cabinets is that it may make your kitchen appear smaller. This visual illusion occurs because the soffit may make the cabinetry and ceiling appear shorter. However, the benefit of being able to hide unsightly wires or plumbing or HVAC fixtures may be worth the disadvantage of a smaller-seeming kitchen. Consider making your kitchen appear larger by finding ways to add more light and visual appeal to the high spots in the room.

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.

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.
