Decorate Like a Celebrity! How to Get the Look Without Breaking the Bank

September 5, 2008

Interior decorators typically set their prices based on the number of hours, square footage of the home, or various other methods. Once an agreement has been made to hire the designer, he or she may request a designer fee to be paid in advance. Fees can range from approximately $60-$300 per hour depending on level of expertise, region and demand for services. By using the services of an interior designer you receive the benefit of their expertise to help you refine your selections and avoid costly mistakes. The right decorator with great money saving tips can go along way in getting you the “look of celebrities” for a lot less money.

If you know exactly what look you’re trying to pull off, you can decorate your home yourself. Ask yourself these questions about the room you want to redesign: what is the basic shape of the room, and what are its dimensions? What is its inherent nature? What are its problems? What are its assets? Make a floor plan to help you visualize where to place furniture, how many pieces will fit into the room?
