"Lloyd is very friendly, upfront and honest. Designs are professional and he goes all out and then trims back. He goes above and beyond with a lot of little things. Lloyd is meticulous with his stone work on walls, firepits,stairs and patio. He does it all, plantings, low voltage lighting and large tree and shrub plantings. So appreciated his advise and regular status reports."

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"Working with Troy Parker Design was an incredible experience from start to finish. Troy helped me design a modern remodel and restoration of my grandparents? 1960s New Mexico ranch home?a property that means a lot to me and my family. He managed to preserve the original charm and character of the home while introducing a fresh, modern design that feels both stylish and timeless. What stands out most about Troy is his eye for detail and his genuine ability to listen. He respected the history and sentiment behind the project, and his design choices perfectly balanced tradition with innovation. His talent, professionalism, and thoughtful approach made the renovation process exciting and deeply personal. I continue to trust his expertise for future projects and highly recommend Troy Parker Design LLC to anyone looking for a designer who truly understands how to blend style, function, and meaning into their space."

"Our experience with Bharti has been excellent. She is a great listener and is willing to work with you to come up with best design solutions. She has a great eye for detail and we will be happy to recommend her to our friends and family."
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.
