Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2016
“Victoria Clark is wonderful to work with! She has helped me freshen up my family room, kitchen, Living room, dining room and redesign my teen son's bedroom. I love her sense of style, use of color and her ability to understand what I like and make it work with n budget. She took the time to get to know me and helped me to find new updated fabrics, wall paper, paint and furniture. What I really appreciated was her unique ability to repurpose furniture that I already owned and helped me to find new quality pieces at very affordable prices. Bowman & Clark has a wonderful team of professionals from painters, floor refinishers, fabric specialist, you name it she knows who to go to for good quality work. Check out her shop in Lakewood and ask her about the lines of furniture that they represent. She is very knowledgeable and connected to many manufactures in the local area and across the country. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family and would be happy to work with her in the future. Thank you!!”

“Mary Brown is a true professional and .did a fantastic job guiding me through much needed updates to my home. She was able to see which direction I wanted to go and gently but efficiently helped me make the right choices. I'm delighted with the results and would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone who is ready for a change, but might be afraid to take the leap.”

“Very professional, dedicated, and direct. InkBerry helped me significantly where I fall short by applying design and style two the two areas of the house that I'm remodeling. While staying in budget we were able to add furniture, finishes, and colors that brought everything together. Because InkBerry took care of material and furniture procurement, the project was less expensive than if I had done it myself.”

  • Reach out to the pro(s) you want, then share your vision to get the ball rolling

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 Tacoma, WA


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 Tacoma, 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 Tacoma contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.


Key questions to ask potential contractors in Tacoma, WA:


  • 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?
