Working with an interior designer can be daunting but the benefits are always worth it. After all, the only reason you're considering hiring one is because you've tried it yourself already and you obviously didn't like the outcome. So now you're in the consideration stage. But how do you know what type of service would work best for your needs and budget? On today's episode I read client inquiry questions and breakdown which service would best for their needs and why. Hopefully this gives you some clarity. If not, send in your own personal design dilleman and I would be more than happy to help!
