"We started out with a “big white box” and no idea where to even begin. Linda quickly assessed our style and made great recommendations. She sourced wallpaper, paint, and rugs, and excellent contractors. Linda was careful to stay within our budget and met our tight timeline. We completed two of three floors in our home; when we’re ready to do the third floor we will absolutely call Linda!"

"We were referred by a friend to hire Jaber Construction LLC for kitchen ceramic backsplash installation. We are very satisfied with their exceptional and high-quality work. Nick, the owner, is responsive, always answers our questions to the point, and provides excellent customer services. His crews perform with professionalism and are exceptionally detailed in the finished product. The result is a very pleasing, new kitchen look with fantastic designs. They truly exceed our expectations for this first project. We will hire them for additional work in the future."

"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."

"I have worked with Nathan on several projects ranging from our deck, roof, kitchen, and recently our bathroom. He has always been professional, informative, and easy to work with. What has always stood out to me is his integrity and commitment to providing excellent service and responsiveness. We have used other contractors prior to using Nathan and he stands out above the others as he has always gone the extra distance where the others didn’t. I have referred him to friends and they have always shared positive feedback which is why I am always happy to refer him to people I know. I would highly recommend Nathan and his company Trident Contracting whether it’s a bathroom or any other remodel or construction project. It’s rare today to find a contractor that stands behind their work and follows through on their commitment which is why I highly recommend Nathan and Trident Contracting."

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

Deciding to hire an interior designer or an interior decorator is entirely dependent on what you’re looking for out of your project and your budget. Interior decorators typically cost less than interior designers, both in hourly rates and overall project costs. 

If you want to add furnishings to your home but it’s otherwise set with permanent fixtures, an interior decorator would be best for you. However, if you are looking to remodel your home or are building a new home and would like help with permanent structures like cabinets, showers, and overall layouts, an interior designer is best.  

Hiring a professional for holiday decorating, especially for hanging lights, is often well worth the investment for several reasons. A key benefit is safety; if you are physically unable to hang lights due to injury, or if your home has multiple stories or other high places that pose a safety hazard, a professional can handle the job securely. They also have the expertise to assess your electrical system to ensure it can handle the load. Hiring a pro is also a great option for homeowners who lack the time or capability to decorate. Professionals can create a stylish, chic, and upscale look that will wow your guests, and they may even save you money on decor. Finally, many holiday lighting experts include maintenance and repairs as part of their rates, ensuring your display looks great throughout the season without any extra effort on your part.

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.

The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between $50 and $150 per hour on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as $200 for a couple of hours of decorating. Interior decorators might also bill $5 to $12 per square foot, or a flat rate of $500 to $1,300 per room. You can also pay to have your Christmas tree professionally decorated for an average of $200 to $600. Contact a local interior decorator for a specific quote.

Any homeowner can carry out interior decoration themselves, but many struggle to devise a cohesive and appealing design that balances comfort and aesthetics. Interior designers are not only trained in design principles, but they also design home interiors for a living, so they’re much more likely to produce a final product that meets your needs. Hiring a professional can sometimes lead to savings on the materials, as some experts know how to source more affordable decor and furniture via their professional connections.
