"Erica was sent to my home to handle this project - SHE WAS AWESOME! I needed someone who could take control of the process and keep me in check (I have a hard time letting go of stuff lol). She was patient as we went through mounds of paper and inches of dust LOL I will absolutely hire this company again - there's much more to do and Erica is the perfect person to do it!"

"Clay Brooks and his crew have done an amazing job on my lawn and helping with my landscapting needs for 2 years. I highly recommend Clay Brooks for lawn cutting and trimming, weeding flowerbeds, designing and preparing mulch beds, fertilizing the lawn, and hauling away. They are first rate! I have a lot of flowers and shrubs planted in the front and back of my house. They are very knowledgable and careful with my plantings. One of the projects I appreciate Clay doing was designing and creating a rubber mulch border around my above ground pool. He is great with landscaping plans and following through on all projects. My yard looks the best it has in 35 years!"

"We had a great experience with Souther Accents. Not only were they great at suggestions on how to redesign our landscaping, lighting and drainage, they were also responsive, timely and thorough with the project. We are extremely pleased with our yard and would highly suggest this company for any and all of your landscaping needs."

"Paul was wonderful to work with! Even though I had a small urban yard he always put in the extra effort to gather magnolia leaves (IYKYK that is a brutal job in Wilmington summers), trim shrubs, and proactively communicate about the next appointment. My yard always looked like it got a professional facelift when he was done!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Wilmington, NC

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.
