We have been asked this question from time to time. Well, you're technically not getting the services for "free" at a furniture store as the retail or sale prices include such things as meeting with a salesperson. Even more importantly the look of buying everything from a furniture store can be quite stale and underwhelming.
Why would you want your home to look like the inside of a furniture store? A few key pieces from these franchises can be great, but diversity is the key to making the space feel like your own and differentiating it from your neighbor's down the street. Not to mention, interior designers love getting to know their clients!
How about the vigorous training we as interior designer's go through to obtain and maintain our credentials? The top designer's have a four year college degree, followed by an internship and work experience before qualifying for an interior design exam. There are also continuing education requirements.
Think of us as helping you with the complete package. From stain colors, to wall finishes, tile selection to cabinet design, lighting selection to window treatments; we don't just recommend furniture, but collectively pull everything together to form a concept. The design is brought to you so you have time for other things!
Melissa’s career in interior design began with an internship in residential design in 1994. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in 1997, she worked for architectural firms designing hotel interiors. Her direct work with architects resulted in a better understanding of the overall design process and how the two trades depend upon, and complement one another.
