Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro

Camille Saum Interior Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2014
“Ms. Saum provided us with ideas that were creative and innovative. Her plans included things that we never would have considered. Her selections (countertops, fixtures, appliances and floor coverings) included a range of price points from which to choose. The results were stunning! With Ms. Saum's help, I am confident that she saved us from making costly mistakes. Her workmen (electricians, plumbers, painters, tile and carpet installers) were all professional and did an excellent job as well.”
Lily Z Designs
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
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.”
Danziger Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 30, 2012
“We engaged Danziger Design LLC as our overall project management team for renovation design consultation and interior design. Wendy Danziger is a 25-year veteran with a distinguished track record for creativity in specialized design projects, both large and small, both residential and commercial. She has vision. She's extraordinary in understanding her client's needs and preferences while bringing ideas and solutions that are within budget and efficiently implemented. She has developed kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room designs for us that brought a cohesive look to our entire home. Her use of color is exceptional and the coordination of rugs, textiles and artwork was brought together with a keen eye and understanding of our preferences. Wendy's thoughtful and cooperative relationship with builder, electrical, painting, furniture and textile specialists enables her to synchronize an interior design project efficiently to get the job done with minimal distruption to occupants. Together with the seasoning, skills and expertise noted above, Wendy is unique among design consultants in that she actively listens to the client to develop a plan/budget to suit - as opposed to many other designers who seem to want to focus on their own preferred aproach regardless of the client's needs. We are repeat clients of Danziger Design and gladly provide the highest of recommentations.”
M.S. Vicas Interiors
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2013
“Moved into a two bedroom, two bath apartment. Before moving in the colors for the walls were chosen and painting done, draperies ordered and the additional furniture we wanted ordered. M.S. Vicas Interiors were professional, sensitive to our ages, and available. Small changes we wanted to make were handled easily. It was a good experience in all respects.”
Modern Property Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsNovember 8, 2013
“I had a pending job opportunity in DC area and came across basement property that would be ready by the time I would need it (3 months later). I viewed property in construction phase and could not see it as a place I'd want to live, let alone be ready in three months. I was so wrong and so blown away! The tiny basement apartment looked roomy and had a zen flow post construction. Amazing design!”
Design Milieu
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 13, 2014
“Design Milieu was an excellent firm to work with on the redesign of the office in our 125 year old Victorian. Karen Bengel, the owner, took a very odd layout and revamped it in a way that's beautiful and versatile. It was exceedingly easy to work with Karen since she truly took into account our needs and preferences. The end result was a beautiful space that works for our family. I would highly recommend Design Milieu to anyone looking for a designer.”
Storie Collective
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 14, 2021
“We worked with StorieCollective for a remote design of the open concept living/dining area of our Capitol Hill home. Sara was fantastic to work with and we were so pleased with the ease of the design process as well as the result. Our space had its challenges but she came up with an excellent floor plan that used the space in a smarter way than we would have come up with on our own. We were keeping a few existing pieces of furniture and the other design choices that Sara made worked well with what we already had. Sara was very easy to collaborate with and her choices for our home were spot on. I loved the ease of the clickable shopping list and the ability to reference both the space plan and design concept. I’m so happy that we worked with StorieCollective- our space is absolutely more functional, beautiful and well curated as a result.”
The Decorating Therapist
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2012
“We moved into our home and needed to design and paint almost every room. I work full time and my husband has no interest in these decisions. This just added to my already too long "To do" list. Carol was great! She knew I was overwhelmed and sat down with me to understand my tastes and what I wanted to do. She did not rush me but gently kept me moving forward. She transformed my bland home into a home I love. A home with beautiful colors, wonderful furniture and fixtures. One that I love to spend time in and entertain in. She really was my therapist!”
First District Designs
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 18, 2023
“Any time someone compliments a whole room in my house, a framed print, accent pieces, even the color of a wall, I say, "Thank you! Kyra/First District Designs did that!" Kyra made beautiful things happen while staying within my budget. She really listened to the overall mood, tone, and effect that I was trying to achieve and made it all happen. She incorporated/worked with so many of our existing pieces of furniture, arranging them in fresh and more interesting ways, and added just the right amount of extra touches as needed. I can't say enough good things. The woman has an amazing eye for great design, and sources pieces that are made well so that they withstand the test of both children (and pets)!”

That's where a local DC Metro 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.

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 in District Of Columbia — 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 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 District Of Columbia home professionals to help create the perfect look for your renovation.

Do your research before meeting with an interior design contractor or home decorator in District Of Columbia. 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 DC Metro interior design firms 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 local DC Metro 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?
