Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington

Exquisite Designs
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 19, 2014
“I hired Exquisite Designs a little over a year ago for their interior design services. I had interviewed many interior design companies here in the Northern Virginia area but was not happy with the business practice of putting thousands of dollars down as a retainer before starting any work. At the end of the day, I selected Paulanne Gregson's Exquisite Designs company because of her very friendly business model of paying by the our for her time. Paulanne first worked with me to understand my tastes in style and materials and then came up with a plan to transform my home into a cozy living space. We started with picking colors and painting my family room and foyer and then selecting and buying furniture for my family room. We then progressed to redoing my kitchen including tile flooring, granite counter tops, sink, cooktop, under cabinet lighting and tile back splash. I liked that she was flexible in terms of allowing me to do some of the painting but also suggesting very reasonable contractors to do the work if I didn't want to, or couldn't perform the installation or work myself. She has a wonderful eye for color and making sure that everything matches. But one of her best attributes is knowing home materials (like wood, tile, types of paint, etc...) and their applications and making suggestions on their use. I'll end this by saying, it's been a very enjoyable experience in that she has been very flexible with me, allowing me to make decisions where I wanted but always being ready to step in with advice or making sure an installation contractor was doing the work correctly. I give Exquisite Designs my highest recommendation. -Steven W.”
Interior Style by Marisa Moore
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 21, 2013
“We have worked with Marisa for over a year on the remodel of our basement. We highly recommend her! We are probably unique clients because we did a lot of the work ourselves. Marisa was patient with us, worked at our pace, and was very responsive to our requests and questions during the remodel process. Our work with Marisa started by hiring her to help us design the space - entry way, living room, kids play area, exercise room, laundry room, guest room - including tearing down and building new walls. She provided a thorough lay out and design recommendations, including two great built-in shelving units and a new tiled gas fireplace. Her color, fabric, carpet, tile choices were spot-on. When furniture items were outside our budget range, she came up with good lower cost alternatives. And she always has recommendations for contractors or stores to meet our needs. Marisa is fabulous - her expertise is well worth the cost!”
Erica Peale Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 24, 2016
“I am so thrilled that I had the opportunity to work with Erica! Erica is a consummate professional who guided me through the renovation and redecoration of the main floor of my home. My trust in her is what kept me sane! She has impeccable taste and always managed to find options that fit my budget. My husband and I could not be happier with the result! I would highly recommend Erica for any interior design project. She is a pleasure to work with and is very talented.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 5, 2015
“Six years ago, after having lived in a new house I had bought the previous year, I needed help. I wanted to make my house into a warm, welcoming home that would reflect my personality. I chose Anna Light to be my interior designer. She was always very professional. She focused on me and my tastes, my likes and dislikes and did a wonderful job. Anna has made my house into the home I’ve always wanted. It’s so beautiful. I love coming home to it and I enjoy inviting my friends over. Anna is a truly gifted interior designer. Not only does she have an innate artistic ability, but she was able to clearly determine my tastes and design my home décor around them. I also appreciated her desire and ability to stay within my budget. I worked with her again the following year to help me decorate my home for a Christmas party. She, once again, demonstrated her “gift” by making my home elegant and inviting for my guests. In the years since, she has helped me choose additional accent pieces, and even helped me frame several oil paintings. Anna is wonderful to work with and goes “above and beyond” to make her clients very happy. She’ll be the one I call the next time I need an interior designer.”
Pierre Jean-Baptiste Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2012
“I hired Pierre Jean-Baptiste Interiors to create a new look for our den. We needed new furnishings, accessories, lighting, and a fresh coat of paint. We are a family of four and we needed a timeless space to relax after busy work and school days. To my surprise the project turned out better than expected. They provided the electrician to come and replace my old hanging chandelier. The painters were on time and clean. After proposing a sofa that I was not 100% sold on, I went against my feelings to let them piece the room together and I could not have been happier with the selections. Thanks again!”
Lily Z Designs
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 8, 2021
“We have worked with Lily and her team for two homes and are so thankful for her work. Lily is excellent at communicating the process and timelines. She works collaboratively, is responsive and listens to all of my ideas, helping me weed out the not so great ideas. The end product and look of a space is always beautiful, practical and perfectly executed. She’s great at finding ways to utilize space efficiently and selecting beautiful fabrics and lighting. I highly recommend.”

B. Chic Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2012
“B. Chic Interiors is a complete design based company. Bridget, the owner of B. Chic was very knowledgeable in design, furniture placement, paint colors, and was very budget concise. She is very easy to work with and has a delightful personality. Bridget helped me with paint colors, room design, choosing hardwood floors, window treatments, new furniture, kitchen backsplash, painting of kitchen cabinets, and new island for a large condo renovation. Within days of our meeting a complete package was e-mailed to me with cost estimates, and design pieces that she suggested. She will give you discounts from the companies she uses. You have the option of paying hourly and using her ideas, or having Bridget go with you and help with your choices. I highly recommend B. Chic interiors. Her help was invaluable, the project turned out beautiful was done on a budget and I couldn't be happier!”
Olamar Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 2, 2012
“I asked Paola to provide a design for remodeling my bathroom with the goal of replacing the tub with a shower. My only request was that she retain my Mexican hand-painted ceramic sink. As the room is only 5 X 7, she had quite a challenge to update the room, giving an impression of more space, on a very small budget. Her design was perfect. All the materials to be used were low cost but did not look low cost. The finished product was well within my budget and looks great. I get many very positive reactions from family and friends. It is very impressive.”
Ella Scott Design, llc
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Arlington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 3, 2015
“I can't say enough positive things about my experience working with Sandra and Ella Scott Design. Sandra is a practical visionary--her design instincts are impeccable, and her recommendations are grounded in the practicalities of making space usable and hospitable. Sandra was accommodating of our aesthetic, our timeline, and our budget, and she and Marci made the logistics of furnishing an entire house a piece of cake. We are very appreciative to them and hope that you have an opportunity to work with them, as well.”

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 Arlington 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 Arlington, VA is a must.



What does an Arlington 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 Arlington 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 Arlington 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 Arlington 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?
