Rachel C. says, "Moving can often feel like a whirlwind, leaving a trail of chaos in its wake. However, thanks to Caty, my experience transforming my new space into a sanctuary was nothing short of remarkable. From the outset, Caty was an incredible partner in navigating the complexities of my tumultuous move. With her unfailingly kind demeanor, patient approach, and thoughtful insights, she helped carve out a blissful order from what initially felt like overwhelming disorder. Caty's ability to communicate a clear vision was one of the standout aspects of our collaboration. She didn’t just impose her ideas; instead, she actively listened to my thoughts and preferences, seamlessly integrating them into her creative concepts. This thoughtful communication transformed our sessions into a true partnership, allowing me to express what was important to me and what I envisioned for my personal space. One of the most valuable aspects of working with Caty was her capacity to bring ideas to life immediately. She didn’t hesitate to roll up her sleeves and dive into the practical tasks that I often find daunting. From installing shelves to bolting heavy items securely to the walls, Caty’s hands-on skills saved me from the headache of hiring additional help. Her proactive attitude and expertise made it easy to execute what could have been stressful tasks, transforming them into seamless moments of creativity. Caty's wealth of knowledge in design is truly impressive. She offered a plethora of ideas that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also uniquely suited to my small city apartment. Her suggestions were always sensitively tailored to my budget, proving that great design doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Whether it was maximizing storage in tight spaces or choosing colors that enhanced the natural light, her insights were invaluable. In essence, working with Caty was a game-changer for me. She provided not just a service but a thoughtful partnership that transformed my apartment into a space I genuinely love. If you’re looking to reclaim order from chaos, especially after a move, I wholeheartedly recommend Caty. Her blend of creativity, practical skills, and deep understanding of design can turn any space into a harmonious retreat. Thank you, Caty, for your incredible support and expertise!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What do interior designers do?

Interior designers do much more than pick complementary paint colors and choose matching furniture — although those tasks are important parts of the job. Unlike decorators, interior designers usually have an associate of science degree or certificate of achievement in interior design from an accredited program. They’re trained in drafting, lighting and computer aided design (CAD), and are experts in room-specific design and residential space planning. Interior designers use these skills to plan and design safe, highly functional and beautiful interior spaces, from kitchens and bathrooms to family rooms and bedrooms. They determine space requirements, work within building codes and inspection regulations, and meet accessibility standards. An interior designer’s day-to-day job includes creative and technical tasks, both of which often require great communication skills:

  • Creating model rooms and visuals using design software.
  • Researching different textiles, materials, finishes, lighting and furniture.
  • Hiring suppliers, vendors, and contractors.
  • Estimating costs and making bids on potential jobs.

How do you find a good interior designer?

For many homeowners, the difference between a good interior designer and a bad one is simply a matter of taste — but all good designers have similar skill sets. Interior designers usually have a degree or certificate in interior design, with training in design principles and lighting, drafting, and computer aided design (CAD) software. Good interior designers have strong color balancing skills and understand how different colors influence spatial perception and moods. They know the building and electrical codes in the areas where they practice, and they make sure that any contractors they hire also work to those codes. They are knowledgeable about different upholstery fabrics and draperies, stay ahead of residential design trends, and maintain their own individual creativity. Also, good interior designers have excellent space designing skills, so they can arrange a space efficiently and with ideal traffic flow. Ultimately, hiring a good interior designer means pinpointing one whose signature style is complementary to your personal style — so checking out many designers’ portfolios is a must — and whose communication methods match yours.

How much do interior designers charge?

You can hire an interior design for a job as basic as a one-room consultation or as complex as supervising the design of an entire new home, helping with space planning, choosing color palettes, and shopping for furniture, flooring and artwork. The size and scope of the job will determine how much an interior designer charges; the average national cost for an interior designer ranges from $75 to $100 or more per hour. Other cost factors include the person’s reputation — interior designers to the stars are usually more expensive — and region. Most interior designers charge an average of $100-$225 for an initial consultation, but some will charge an hourly rate, usually starting at an average of $50, for larger projects that require extensive consultations. Hourly rates may be available for smaller projects, such as redecorating a living room or staging a home for sale; for instance, shopping and consulting can cost an average of $75 to $100 per hour, while staging costs and average $95 per hour. For many homeowners, a percentage of an interior designer’s cost is recouped through the professional discounts they receive from their vendors.

How do you choose an interior designer?

Choosing an interior designer is all about finding one whose signature style fits well with your tastes and who can work within your budget. To choose the right professional for your interior design project, ask yourself these five questions:

  • What is your signature style? Good interior designers can both describe their personal aesthetic and demonstrate their signature style through their portfolios. Make sure it appeals to you.
  • How will you make sure the design fits my lifestyle? Good designers understand that the interior design must improve a homeowner’s experience in their home and fit into their lifestyle; for example, a white suede sofa is a poor choice for a family with large dogs and small children.
  • How much do you charge? Depending on the project, an interior designer may charge an hourly rate, a flat fee or a percentage of the project’s total cost.
  • How will you stick to my budget? An interior designer should have a plan for staying within your budget, which includes full transparency of costs and flexibility when choosing materials and furnishings.  

Because an interior design project is highly collaborative and based on hard-to-define personal preferences, it’s most important to choose a designer who communicates clearly and listens closely to you.
