Signature Design Interiors

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

April 11, 2013

“Janet Aurora of Decor and You took a huge hodge-podge basement full of cast-offs, under utilized antiques, builder grade/selection paint and zero personality and transformed it into a welcoming, warm, personable, fun and useable place. The basement now has a comfortable media viewing area, an area that can be used for projects, an attractive and much needed storage wall (with a service bar), conversation/reading nook for 4, two tables that can seat 16 for dinner, AND it can all be transformed into a party area (in which we comfortably hosted 47 people last weekend). She did an excellent job of incorporating my "memory pieces" (quilts, family furniture) with fresh new ideas, furniture, colors and patterns.....all within my budget. On top of it all, Janet was a blast to work with and even managed to pull my reluctant husband into the fray with her good humor and her ability to read people. This was not a "here is my plan, this is the way it will be" type of experience. I felt my input was carefully listened to. At the same time, I was told what might work better than some of my ideas and why. (And she was right...I guess that is why she is the professional!) Finally, the installers, painters, and construction people that she used were all top notch and friendly. An excellent experience, sort of sorry it is all over.”

Sanctuary Rooms Interiors

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

November 14, 2016

“Sanctuary Roomz provided a bedroom remodeling service for me. We did an inital consultation and I was immediately ready to work with the agency! I was treated with care and professionalism. Initially I was nervous about change but the designer really made me comfortable with embracing something new. She considered all of my concerns and pushed me a little outside of my comfort zone , which was much needed. The service was timely , affordable and exceeded my expecataions. I am moving soon and I have already contacted Sanctuary Roomz to remodel my new apartment. They did such a great job before and I am confidant that this project will be great.”

Interior Magic Design

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

October 8, 2020

“We have worked with Interior Magic Design to complete several rooms, including an entire re-do of our kitchen. Every project has exceeded our expectations! Dani and Shannon always find creative ways to help us organize and update while also reflecting the unique personal styles of each family member. You can't go wrong with this duo!”

Kelly Marino Designs

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

February 27, 2015

“Working in Real Estate for almost 20 years allows most agents to build a trusted vendor list. A list that rarely adds new talent to the network. Kelly Marino Designs was no where near my radar when my listing in Alexandria came to be, but I will say this without a doubt... it was her level of expertise, professionalism, and tireless work ethic that got this home into the beautiful show piece it is today....and under contract within 3 days!! If you haven't heard of Kelly, don't worry, you will. If you haven't used her before, I urge you not to waste any more time and HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY...The results are there and proven! She is now a friend and trusted advisor. I am supremely confident that you'll feel the same way.”

Design Comes Natural

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

June 17, 2014

“Nancy is very professional, has excellent taste and is very easy to work with. Her team is very friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Nancy just completed my kitchen and it is absolutely gorgeous. Now she is working on my dining room. Nancy has many celebrities with whom she works, but you would never know this about her. She is very respectful and very dignified about her work and contacts. I was referred to her by a friend who's home she decorated. It turned out so tasteful and the mix of periods and colors came out simple but sophisticated and beautifully handsome.”

Finishing Touches Design Service LLC

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

February 24, 2015

“JoAnn helped us to select a valence design and find the right fabric for our family room. Result was beautiful! She is great to work with, creative and very responsive to your style preferences.”

InDesign / Lori Ludwick

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

January 21, 2013

“My husband and I would recommend Lori to anyone who is looking for a design professional. She works very well with the client to determine what the client wants, is creative in helping the client come to design clarity, and is determined and persistent in assuring client satisfaction, even if it takes many tries. She does not push the client toward a particular budget, but works with the client to develop alignment between the client's wishes and financial goals. Once a budget is set and agreed upon, she meets it. She is fun and a great resource. Our house is now beautiful, and a great joy to us. Lori made that happen.”

Khadijah Ali Designs and Interiors

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

August 14, 2020

“First, I would strongly suggest working with a designer, period. Using a designer provides you with an objectivity, assistance with vendors, lower cost substitutes, discounts and a finished look that a trained designer can provide. Why Khadijah? In addition to all of the above, she is a skilled communicator (listener/interpreter). As such, she can quickly translate the client’s subjective values, aesthetic into concrete designs. Secondly, she is easy to work with. Her good people skills are particularly important in dealing with couples who bring their own communication style and differences into the conversation. Thus, KA is particularly skilled at getting to the root of differences and developing actionable solutions. Finally, she respects the client’s basic aesthetic values while gently exploring the space at the outer edge of their comfort zone. The effect is that you walk into the room and it feels right but not something you could have done yourself.”

B. Chic Interiors

Washington D.C., DC Interior Designers and Decorators

July 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!”

“Working with Wesley far exceeded our expectations, having had worked with other designers. Wesley created spaces in our home that truly reflects who we are as a family. She is prompt to respond to any of our needs and questions and she is fun to work with.”

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 Washington D.C. interior designer comes in. A home 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 interior designers and decorators in Washington D.C., DC 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 an interior decorator in Washington D.C., DC — 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 interior decorators 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 company 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 Washington D.C., DC home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of interior designers & decorators: Architects & Building Designers, General Contractors, Home Builders, Design-Build Firms, Photographers.

Do your research before meeting with an interior designer or home decorator in Washington D.C., DC. 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.

There's a big difference!

Questions to ask when you meet with local Washington D.C. 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?
