"Replaced our front step and walkway using full color bluestone. Derek is professional and pays attention to every detail. He took the time to answer and address all of our questions and concerns. He is a true stone artist cutting each piece to fit his visionary design. I highly recommend him for any stone project and would definitely hire him in the future! Thank you Derek"

"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"

"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!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Old Saybrook, 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.
