    Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in Carter Lake

    Monical Design
    Interior Designers & House Decorators in Carter Lake
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 12, 2013
    “Elizabeth Monical is the most forward thinking designer I've come across. As someone who resides in the Midwest yet has a modern sense of design, I had a hard time finding a designer that had fresh modern ideas towards design. Elizabeth is that designer and has a special niche outside the conventional, traditional designers we have here. She was able to interpret my ideas into functional beautiful concepts for my living needs. She did it all, from the conceptual to the drawings to the specs for the custom design we incorporated. She brought my ideas to life! I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Looking forward to our next project!”

    “Kym has helped with my total home remodel after a fire at my home. She had so many amazingideas that worked well with my lifestyle that never occurred to me! I'm glad I had her by my side every step of the way to make sure the overall design would last for years to come! I have also referred her over the years to my trusted friends and family and they have been very happy with her designs.”

    Knudson Interiors

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 13, 2012
    “Vince Lombardi once said, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” Knudson Interiors chases perfection with every project, and the result is pure excellence. On time, on budget, and with a passion and focus that is rarely found. One would be challenged to find a more professional and dedicated team to work alongside. I could not more highly recommend this firm.”

    Drew Designs LLC
    Interior Designers & House Decorators in Carter Lake
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 23, 2014
    “Drew Designs planned and executed the renovation of our home. Michelle Drew acted as a contractor hiring multiple subcontractors to include floor specialists, tile specialists, painters, carpenters, etc. Ms. Drew directed the work and planned all aspects of design. Our project was so successful that we sold the home a year later (within days) and the new buyers hired Drew Designs to continue the work in the basement. Ms. Drew is a consummate professional, who took all the stress out of the project by running things for us. Her design style is exceptional. She also understands how to make a home appealing to a large range of buyers. She respected the budget that we set and worked to stay within it. She is reliable, delivers all she promises and more, and is patient and thorough. In today's world it is a gift to find an ethical and high performing professional who works so diligently to meet your goals.”

    The work of a professional can make all the difference.

That's where a local Carter Lake 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 Carter Lake, IA is a must.



    What does an Carter Lake 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 Carter Lake 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 Carter Lake 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 Carter Lake 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?

    Find interior designing services on Houzz in Carter Lake, IA. Narrow your search in the Professionals section to find interior designers or home decorators near you. You can also look through photos to find a room you like, then contact the design firm who designed it.


    If you search for Interior Designer near me you'll be sure to find a business that knows about the trends and styles for bathroom, kitchen, or whole house remodels.



    Interior Designer License in Carter Lake, IA
