Identify clutter hot spots like kitchens, home offices, night tables,magazines and newspapers on the living room floor.

You and Your Interior Designer
It is not a luxury to work with an interior designer. You save time, money and costly decorating mistakes. It simply makes sense.
Here are the basic guidelines:
- You have to feel comfortable with the designer
-
- The designer has to interpret your inspirations for your home
-
- Respect for agreed upon budget parameters is paramount
-
- Practicality must be the pillar of the designers work for you - not frill and fluff
