[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've gone down this road and regret it.  Any interior designer working for hourly pay isn't worth the hourly pay.  Instead, use the design services of one of the brands you plan to use (furniture, kitchen cabinets, etc).  Most of them have a service, and it will be better than anything you get by the hour.[/quote]

If I plan to “refresh” entire interior, how would you go by using those services? [/quote]

Start by figuring out your budget and goals.

Interior designers are still partly the retail model for buying certain things, like furniture and soft goods that are sold “to the trade” only. Do you want to buy that stuff? Are you willing to spend a lot of your time and energy replacing that retail model to try to save money? Or do you want to buy mostly/all from stores that sell directly to consumers?

Will you need a contractor, like are you changing cabinetry and doors and trim and flooring? Redoing bathrooms?

It will help a lot if you give more specifics about what you’re trying to do and the budget. [/quote]
