[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does one find an interior decorator?  NP here but i would love to find one.  Like in NoVa working on a moderate, but decent budget (not high end).[/quote]

What’s the budget (“moderate” and “high end” are meaningless terms)? Do you want a full service designer, where they act as a retailer (including ordering from “to the trade” sources and marking up)? Have custom upholstery and drapes? Do you want someone who will coordinate carpenters, etc? Receive shipments at a warehouse and then install all at once?

Or are you planning on buying mostly from retail stores (room and board, etc) and need someone to help you with floorplanning and picking things out?[/quote]

This.  It depends on how much involvement you want and what you want to spend.

We are currently working with a decorator who is basically full service.  We're doing custom window treatments, couch, rugs among other things.  She's also coordinating with tradesmen on a few things we need done.  I have absolutely no eye for or interest for design and we've recently moved into a new layout  which I have no clue how to decorate it.  It's a one level ranch with massive open space.  We plan on being here for a while so the cost is worth it to us-we have not bought new furniture in close to 18 years.  Full disclosure, we don't really have a set budget, but I'm guessing it will be $50-60K when we're done possibly more.  [/quote]
