    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 19, 2015
    “Dessie from Slick Designs provided the design and assisted in picking out the floor and wall tile for my 2nd bathroom. We replaced a shower stall, toilet and sink with a jetted tub, separate shower, toilet and sink. The room was enlarged by knocking out a wall and utilizing a closet on the other side. The total cost of the remodel was aprx $15,000.00. Dessie provided excellent design knowledge and gave me confidence to believe in my own choices as well. Even though we were in separate towns, she was able to come to my home and grasp my "style" She created the most beautiful room in my house. She was on schedule, on budget and a joy to work with. I do not hesitate to recommend Slick Designs for any project and hope I can work with her again.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 18, 2013
    “We used Elizabeth Erin Designs to stage our house prior to listing it on the market. Jodi, the owner, did an excellent job staging the house and worked with the furniture that we already had to work within our budget. The house looked wonderful when they were through. Because we were so impressed with the great work that Elizabeth Erin Designs did on the staging, we recently hired them to design and project manage the remodel of our new home. These services will include designing, assisting with product selection and project managing all of the contractors. It is great to be able to turn these details over to someone that you trust and know that you will have an excellent product when you are through.”

    “Emily is incredible! Professional, imaginative, and with beautiful taste - she understands all of the dimensions to making a space feel special. Her nickname became the "treasure hunter" because she always found the most gorgeous and surprising pieces to complete a room. She's also extremely organized, communicative, and easy to work with, even on huge renovation projects with numerous details and moving parts. Would absolutely recommend her (and have to friends!) and would work with her again.”

    “Hanna was very easy to talk to and gave me some great ideas on where I can start to make my dining room look like more than just a room with a giant table in it. She brought in paint swatches and made an idea pamphlet for me so I can start my first project :) Thanks Hanna!! You're awesome!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 27, 2014
    “I have worked with Jody for close to 20 years through two major remodels including a kitchen, bathrooms, the entire first floor of our home and master bedroom. She also did the design work in our Florida residence. Her detailed knowledge of everything from current products and styles to construction requirements, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, etc. is amazing. She has incredible vision for whatever project she takes on and is completely dedicated to her clients needs, never being satisfied until you are. She has the rare ability to adapt to a wide range of clients by listening to their needs; lifestyle, design style, budget, and expectations. Jody's easy going and charming personality along with her professionalism and expertise make remodeling and decorating so much more fun. Everyone that visits our home comments on the interesting pieces and products she has put in and I would have never been able to do this without her!”

    “I have used more than 1 decorator over the years. Jaimee is a breath of fresh air! She listens, comes up with creative ideas that fit MY taste and is very responsive. I am so pleased with the work she has done on our recent remodel of our living and dining rooms, 20 foot high entryway and guest bedroom and bath. Everything looks great, fresh and up to date. I highly recommend using Jaimee!!”

    The work of a professional can make all the difference. Whether your home has 10 bedrooms, or your apartment is 800 square feet, it can be tricky to create a cohesive look that is representative of your style. That's where a local Ames interior designer comes in. A home interior decorator will help distill your tastes and ideas into a design that suits the needs of your space. Whether you need help creating a functional space plan, rearranging existing pieces, designing the inside of a new home, or simply sourcing amazing furniture and decor, seeking the help of professional home interior designers and house decorators in Ames, IA is a must.



    What does an interior designer do?


    A good home design professional will hone your style down to its very essence and be able to choose a functional layout that feels natural to you. Interior design companies can be involved as much or as little as the client desires. Many clients who hire a house interior decorator — particularly those who are remodeling — have a good sense of how the room should look and what products they should use. Often clients will insist that Ames interior design contractors use the products already present in the house. Other times a designer will need to start from scratch — especially if this is a newly purchased or just-built home. An interior design firm will need to figure out exactly what the client needs, which includes organizing rooms, picking flooring and wall colors, and finding furniture to complement it all. Sometimes that means he or she will have to recruit help from other home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation.

    Do your research before meeting with an interior design contractor or home decorator. Ask yourself what you want your space to become and what it will be used for. Figure out the extent of what you need help with, what your must-haves are and what your budget is. Interior design services can add up fast, so be up front with a potential design firm or individual from the beginning. Also, pick an interior decorator that fits your style. Browse through the portfolios of different interior design firms in Ames and decide if you would live in those houses. Just because you like something doesn’t mean you could live in it. There's a big difference!



    Questions to ask when you meet with Ames interior designers:


    • Can you give me a referral? (It makes a big difference to talk with a client who's worked with the designer before.)
    • Can I see your design portfolio?
    • When will the home renovation be done?
    • Do you charge an hourly rate or a flat rate, or use the cost-plus method or a mixed method?
