Conversation group for one of my clients
There are a lot of luxury homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that need to be decorated or redecorated. Many new high-end homes in Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, and Southlake need to be furnished for the first time. There are also a lot of luxury homes in Plano and Dallas that are 15-25 years old that need to be updated, remodeled, or redecorated
The photo below shows a newly remodeled master bathroom. Everything was changed to create the look and feel that the clients wanted.
I design the master bath using computer-aided design to show the client would be able to visualize her space.
The same process applies to all of these situations.

You may want to interview more than one professional.
They should ask you a lot of questions like:

Are there photos that you like online or in magazines?
-
What is your lifestyle, casual or formal?
-
How would you like this room to function?
-
What kind of wear does the space get?

What colors do you like?

How do you like to sit on your furniture? (Curl up, or feet on the floor)

What is your budget?
These are just a few of the questions they should ask, but it gives you an idea of all the details that go into designing your room. After they ask these questions and others, it starts to paint a picture of the style that will be perfect for you.

You should also ask them a lot of questions like:
What is their experience in interior design?
Do they have a design look or do they create a unique look just for you? Some designers only want to do their style over and over and that’s okay if that is the look you want.
Will you be working with them or their assistant?
Do they have the ability to provide furnishings at good pricing?
You should also see if they are a good listener.
Finding the best interior designer for your project should be your first step.
