Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro

Haus Interior Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 22, 2015
“Haus Interior Design is amazing! Remodeling is a stressful process but Kirsten Kaplan kept us sane! Not only does she have an amazing eye for design detail, but she worked extremely well with our subcontractors making sure our remodel timeline and expectations were met. We did a full kitchen renovation and Kirsten was instrumental in helping us choose everything from the hardwood floors to the cabinet hardware. Not only was she able to find us some amazing grasscloth for a fabulous focal wall, she knew the right people to call for a flawless install. The result is one amazing kitchen!”

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.”
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!”
M.S. Vicas Interiors

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.”

“Barbara S. Design helped with the interior design of my Yoga Studio. Because of Barbi's vision, experience, talent, understanding of my vision, dedication and involvement, my yoga studio is beautiful, functional and exactly what I wanted. I can't express enough how pleased I was with this company. Using this company was one of the best decisions I made for my business. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional, talented, experienced and dedicated 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.”
Inner Loop Design
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
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.”
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)!”
Valeria Design Studio
Interior Designers & House Decorators in DC Metro
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 1, 2015
“Valeria Design Studio designed my entire home renovation. What an incredibly talented and wonderful team! They worked well with the contractor, helped solve issues, and generally gave good advice and guidance that served my best interest. I added 400 square feet to what is a vertical house in the middle of a city block by expanding into and eliminating my yard. The result is fabulous and I love my newly renovated house!”

“Kimberly helped us select art for our apartment. She has a very good eye and is well connected to artists and galleries. She was extremely respectful of our taste and preferences and never pushy. She was very prompt and provided us with many options. She also introduced me to her framer and hung the art for us. She is a pleasure to work with.”

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?
