Frequently Asked Questions

Homeowners are often unclear how to work with an interior designer.  Here are the answers to some of your most pressing questions.

What is Full Service Interior Design? 

Our full-service interior design and decorating is perfect for clients who want to sit back, relax, and let us handle every detail — from concept to completion:

  • Design & Decorating
  • Sourcing of products
  • Process planning & project management
  • Communication with suppliers
  • Receiving products
  • Delivery & Installation

Every step of the interior design process is thoughtfully included in your final budget. We treat your design journey as a meaningful investment, handled with care and dedicated, personalized service.

What’s the process of working with an Interior Designer like?

If you’ve never worked with a full-service interior designer, you might be wondering how it all works. Let’s walk through it together:

  1. Starting with the right fit – Before we begin any project, we want to make sure we’re the right match for you. This is a personal, collaborative journey, and your experience matters just as much as the end result. When working with a full-service interior design firm, we provide an excellent service to ensure that your design choices are reflected in your home with the right pricing.
  2. What’s covered in your investment – Our pricing is all-inclusive, meaning everything we outline for your project — from services to furnishings — is bundled into your final budget. No surprises. No guesswork. Just a clear plan from the start.
  3. Where we source our products – The best part about being partnered with Decorating Den Interiors is that we have the best sourced products with a network of over 130 trusted suppliers. We don’t shop at retail stores or online retailers. Instead, we work with trade-only vendors to offer unique, high-quality pieces you won’t find anywhere else.

What Can I Expect in a Design Consultation?

After we have an initial fifteen-minute discovery phone call, and it’s mutually decided to move forward with up to a two-hour in-depth design consultation, we schedule your appointment.

This appointment is a working meeting where we will take a home tour, discuss your needs in greater depth, discuss the budget guidelines within which you are working, and our process to successfully meet and exceed your goals. If we mutually decide to move forward, we will create the design in our studio and return to present the design with samples for selection in one to two weeks.
