I am not looking for homestaging but how does one decide on whether to use a re-design service or an interior decorating service? I would like to update and pull together the look in my house and am not sure where to start. What could I expect from using either service? Thanks.

    I am an Interior decorator and Interior re-designer. Interior redesign is the art of transforming your home utilizing the wonderful things you already have.

    If you are looking for a complete update Decorators work with their clients to select the design elements of an interior, such as paint, wallpaper, lights, furniture, and flooring.

    Interior decorators are usually hired to work on an existing space that needs to be redecorated or updated.

    Hope this helps you decide..

    Hello,

    re-design will work with the elements you have to freshen the space and give it a new "feel", using items in new rooms in new ways to breath new life into your existing items.

    Decor and/or Design will delve into your current personal style and assess how well your environment matches your style. A designer will make suggestions about what furniture/accessories pieces to keep and what needs to be brought in to strengthen your design direction. This also includes floorplans, paint colours, fixed elements and whatever else can be done to maximize the impact within the given budget.

    I hope that helps!

    Designers Decor Innovation and Style by Stephanie gave you wonderful answers. I work best with a re-design b/c I have antique furniture and paintings that I will hold forever, but depending on where I live, I need advice on wall color, drapes etc. If you do not need to buy furniture or art for your walls go with a re-design. Many firms do both!
