"Troy has been an incredible interior decorator for us! He has done two projects — one in our NYC rental and another for a weekend home in CT. He is scrappy, helps us find creative solutions within our budget, and also brings us new ideas we haven’t thought of before. Would absolutely recommend him!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Cardinal Design for my hair studio, and I couldnâ t be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and creativity were evident. They not only drew up precise plans but also expertly guided the design process to ensure a seamless flow throughout my salon. Cardinal Designâ s ability to deliver high-quality work on time and keep me informed every step of the way was impressive. Their innovative suggestions and thoughtful improvements truly enhanced the final layout. With their fair pricing and exceptional service, I highly recommend Cardinal Design for anyone in need of top-notch design drawings and planning. Megan Burke"

"I needed to have the old flooring removed and the new flooring put down. They team was very professional. They realized the subflooring was messed up in a section and made sure to stop and communicate so the job can be doone correctly. I appreciated that factor and was able to approve a replacement of the messed up board the great thing was they were still able to finish the job in the time frame they originally stated! I plan to use them for all jobs moving forward. Priced fair,quality work, and friendly and professional!"
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.
