How to Plan For Your Next Interior Design Project
Establishing your budget is the first and often one of the most challenging steps in the design process, but you must set a budget to avoid unmet expectations and miscommunication.

Hiring a Designer- Why Should You Do It?
When it comes to breaking down reasons to hire an interior designer, I’d like to think my hotel/motel analogy begins explaining things best.
