"Excellent work for a fair fee . I worked with David who has a gift for home design and repair projects. He is very good at analyzing a project and setting out an efficient way to proceed with it. David has excellent manners and is punctual and hard working."

"Paul Bloom from Bloom Design designed two separate major projects. Also, a minor project was provided by Paul. One being a complete bedroom remodel for my son. Paul provided us with top quality designs. He had terrific ideas and designed an awesome study space for my teenage son as well as abundance of storage space. Another project was a remodel of mine and my husband's office. Paul's design was very well detailed, thought out and provided us with all of the best conveniences of working from home. Paul also designed a magnificent attractive entryway chair, mirror and table that is both functional and eloquent. In general, Bloom Designs will give you superior workmanship. Paul is a very attentive, polite and a respectful person to work with. I am looking forward to another project and would absolutely want to work with Paul again."

"My yard was absolutely terrible. He came and talked to me about the different possibilities to make my yard look better. He also convinced me to add mulch to my yard and to be quite honest I was very hesitant, but after I gave it thought I decided to go forth. I am so glad that I did! My yard looks 100 times better! They worked fast and have lasting results. He was very responsive very respectful very informative. Thank you so much!! I will definitely be giving referrals, as I am very pleased with my yard. Whenever I am in need of yard work in the future, him and his team will most definitely be my go to. If anyone is looking for an honest landscaper, Al is your guy."

"Michael is very personable right on top of everything every question I asked with heating electricity floor plans he he was also very knowledgeable with helping me with floor plans for kitchen bathroom designing with me and especially if there is something that I wanted like a special door he made several phone calls to make sure that I can get what I wanted or something similar I can keep going on and on and on Michael became more like a family member then just the architect. One thing he went above and beyond the town was giving us a hard time Michael came down from Hartford three or four times a week just to make sure that he would go to the town and fight for us. The addition is not done yet but I am pleased from what is going on and his drawings and the floor plan. Every time that I called him or text him and believe me it was many of times just for a simple little question he got right back to me within a couple of minutes either by phone call or by text"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in East Haven, CT

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
