Choosing a decorator is a lot like choosing a Starbucks:
Double-tall-soy or triple-grande-carmel-mocha ?
Chic, Shabby, Formal or Casual ?
It all depends on your taste. To find a designer that fits the bill, it is important to interview several, ask about their experience, explain your preferences and budget, and tell them exactly what you expect them to do.
Never be pressured into an uncomfortable relationship.
There are the important elements such as space planning, room colors, furniture choices, and a pleasing layout.
But in designing your space it’s the small details that make the statement. Be sure that your interior design professional pays extra attention to coordinating lighting and art and decorative accessories, even down to the smallest items such as clocks, coordination of plant selections and placement of those pieces that make your home a personal statement.
