[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean what do you want them to do? Are you going to order furniture and rugs and art through them? What about drapery? They will charge by the hour. I'd budget $250/hour. I would guess that any decent designer wouldn't even take a project that's less than 3 rooms and probably under $75,000 for the budget. [/quote]

This is helpful. I could probably do 4 rooms and up to 100k at the very upper end of my budget. I'm not really sure what I want them to do, I guess. I've never used one before. I need help with layout, furniture choice, and design elements like color/texture/style/etc. [/quote]

I really think you should consider the store services. If you figure $25k per room, let’s say the designer takes $5k as a design fee (20 hours at $250/hr). Is it going to be worth it? My guess is most designers would regard Ethan Allen as the “cheaper” alternative and steer you to for-the-trade or custom stuff. But maybe there are v cheaper designers out there. I would try online—but personally I have been well served by store designers even though my house is eclectic and i haven’t purchased extensively from one store.[/quote]
