Featured Reviews for Interior Designers & House Decorators in Decatur

Wiseman Design LLC
Interior Designers & House Decorators in Decatur
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 6, 2013
“Penny Wiseman recently completed her second renovation at our home. This project involved Penny overseeing the decorating of a separate living room and family room into a single Great Room conversion. Penny made numerous visits to our home, taking measurements and choosing colors for wall paint, furniture, window coverings, and carpet. Even though her specialty is windows, Penny's attention to design detail, fabric texture, and overall room comfort was sought out for this project, based on our previous experience with her in regard to these professional skills. During a three week absence from the total project, my wife and I felt comfortable having Penny open up our home to have the renovated area painted, carpet laid, and furniture delivered. Shortly after our return, Penny hung window hardware and installed lovely color-perfect shades and window covering panels. A perfectionist, she has asked to return to press the draperies once more to make certain they meet her standards. As a final touch, she sewed several pillows with matching window covering fabric for the new sectional couch. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the integration of light, space, color, and fabrics chosen, and we heartily endorse the talents of Penny.”

  • Reach out to the pro(s) you want, then share your vision to get the ball rolling
  • Request and compare quotes, then hire the Interior Designer that perfectly fits your project and budget limits.
The interior design process typically follows several phases:
  1. Initial Consultation: Designer learns about your style, needs, and budget
  2. Conceptual Design: Creating mood boards, space plans, and initial design concepts
  3. Design Development: Refining selections for furniture, materials, and finished
  4. Documentation: Detailed plans, specifications, and purchasing schedules
  5. Implementation: Ordering, delivery coordination, and installation Throughout the process, expect regular communication, revisions based on your feedback, and project updates. A typical room design can take 8-12 weeks, while larger projects may extend several months depending on scope and construction needs.
Before your first meeting with a designer:
  • Set a realistic budget, including both design fees and furnishings
  • Gather inspiration images that reflect your style preferences
  • Make a list of how you want to use the space
  • Identify any existing pieces you want to keep
  • Document room measurements and take photos
  • Consider your timeline and any scheduling constraints
  • Prepare questions about their process and communication style

Being clear about your expectations, constraints, and preferences from the start helps create a smooth and successful design process.

Hiring an Interior Designer in Decatur, IN


If you're planning a large home improvement project, remodel, or new build, hiring a general contractor is a crucial decision. These professionals manage all aspects of construction projects to ensure timely completion and client satisfaction.

General contractors in Decatur, also known as project managers, oversee the entire construction or remodeling process. They collaborate with architects to review plans, arrange permits and inspections, and manage day-to-day operations. While they may handle some tasks like carpentry directly, they primarily coordinate specialized subcontractors for services such as electrical work, plumbing, and painting.


When selecting a general contractor, thoroughly evaluate their bids, timing, and pricing. Unusual variations in cost estimates may indicate premium charges or deliberate underbidding. Always check references, read reviews, and visit completed projects. Once you choose a Decatur contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.


Key questions to ask potential contractors in Decatur, IN:


  • How long have you been in business and what similar projects have you completed?
  • Who will work on the project and what qualities do you seek in subcontractors?
  • Can you provide references and proof of licensing and insurance?
  • How do you handle pricing, including changes and budget overruns?
  • What is your project timeline and what will you need from me?
  • What type of contract do you use and what documentation will you provide?
  • What is your payment schedule and deposit requirement?
  • What warranties or guarantees do you offer on completed work?
  • How do you handle disputes or issues during construction?
  • What is the typical timeline for a project like mine?
