How to Hire A Good Interior Decorator

A good interior decorator will save you months of hunting down product samples and other research, and prevent some potentially messy missteps.

Choosing Shutters – Inside and Out

Choosing Shutters - Inside and Out Shutters have been around for hundreds of years. Originally used on the inside of windows before glass, shutters provided protection for homeowners from pests and the elements. In the nineteenth century, shutters slowly made their way to the exterior of homes. People chose to use shutters not only for protection but also for decoration. Since then, shutters have come a long way and are now available in a variety of sizes, styles and finishes.

Do You Need an Architect or a Designer?

Do You Need an Architect or a Designer? One of the most common questions homeowners ask remodeling contractors is, “Should we hire an architect or a designer for our project?” For most small projects, such as enlarging a window opening or removing a nonbearing wall, the answer is no. The contractor and homeowner can handle both the design and construction end. But for large additions, whole-house renovations and new kitchens, consider working with a design professional. A pro can make sure the esthetic considerations meld with the structural requirements of the project and, quite simply, that the space lives as well as it looks. Here’s what architects, designers, kitchen specialists and interior designers do and don’t do, what they charge and how you can pick the right one for your project.
