"What an outstanding contractor. Lloydâ s knowledge, expertise in design, vision and execution far exceeded our expectations. He and his hard working 2 man team transformed our yard into what we will enjoy forever. Approximately 185 linear feet of natural stone drywall with a waterfall/pond as well as a huge blue stone patio. We couldnâ t be any happier with outcome or with Lloyd and his team. I highly recommend See Level Landscape Design to anyone interested in high quality craftsmanship. Rob & Lyn M. Shelton Ct."

"We have worked with Cecy Gillen Designs on three home renovations (our primary bathroom, installing a mudroom, and installing a laundry room with cabinets and shelving) and we cannot recommend Cecy and her team highly enough. She has an excellent eye for design. Every time we present her with an idea, she internalizes our vision and improves upon it with her own great ideas. She responds to our questions and concerns in a timely manner and her team is efficient and friendly. We look forward to working with Cecy Gillen Designs on future home improvements."

"The work that Barbara and Anduin performed was fantastic. They were able to take our belongings and give them a place in our home—and they made those places organized and beautiful. They are smart, super organized and design-focused. I recommend them highly and without reservation."

"Doug & Zach were very helpful in coming up with a creative and Architecturally pleasing design for my house renovation. Being a builder myself I truly appreciated the expertise & ideas used in the design. They truly know how to make modular looks totally custom and unrecognizable from a traditional stick built house Kent E. ERI Building & Design"

"The Home Advisor Service gave me three contractors and they responded immediately. Mr. Vazquez arrived on time for his appointment and spent considerable time measuring and designing the cornice that was needed for the window. He then gave me an estimate for each job and a total. We scheduled a Saturday appointment to do the electrical work. My only complaint in this whole process is that he called that morning to delay the work until later in the day but when he arrived he not only did the electrical work but finished the whole job. I spent about 4 hours worrying that he was not going to be reliable when, in fact he was extremely reliable and did an excellent job. When he left that day all four jobs were complete, the mess was cleaned up and I was very happy."

Our home office is now open, light and organized!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Southport, 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.
