[quote=Anonymous]I would not use in store design unless you have a personal rec, bc they are often people hired off the street not formally trained. Similarly, we did a Reno and the contractor pushed hard for their “designer”… who designed our semi custom bathroom vanities and was very protective of design - but after they were ordered, when I pushed for dimensions to order mirrors/lighting, turned out they weren’t up to code and had to be revised. Despite her supposed 20 years in construction. Ridiculous, and why I prefer to choose who I work with.

That said, you can find smaller businesses -
I use an accredited interior designer who does exactly this. Her hourly rate is about $200/hr and she doesn’t upcharge the stuff she orders. She will do anything from trade only brands to c&b or room and board (and pass on discounts). If you go with a traditional interior designer, they often charge a hourly rate plus will charge a percentage of every order, which is ridiculous, and often don’t take below a certain budget (like $50k). I agree you should mix brands/sources for the best result.unless you really don’t care about design/style, in which case you shouldn’t pay for the service anyway. [/quote]
