"Lloyd is very knowledgeable about both plants and design. He had a vision for my space and didnâ t try to sell me what I did not need. He listened to what I wanted and the result exceeded my expectations. He was upfront with the pricing. The install was done with care and precision. I look forward to working with him again."

"When we contacted Home Advisors, they very fortunately connected us with Cecy Gillen Designs. We had two projects: repair/update a bathroom; replace a Greenhouse. Cecy most efficiently and pleasantly managed all the needs for the bathroom which included electrician, tile and tub grouters, painters. She constantly kept us informed of when a contractor would be working, Regarding the Greenhouse, she created beautiful design possibilities to include converting to a porch, sunroom, or retractable awning. Although we havenâ t decided upon the replacement direction, we know we will contact her when we are ready. We feel any project she attempts she does with great research and care."

"Adam and his team (Marco and Danny) are excellent! Removed old kitchen cabinets and granite counter top, put up new drywall and installed new cabinets with precision (my countertop is now level!), and they tiled backsplash. His communication with logistics/timing was spot on. He and his team worked efficiently to get the job done and quality of work is top notch. I would absolutely hire them again."

"Donna is the kind of Designer that creates her work by combining her thoughts together with the clients wants and putting it to life."
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.
