“I have hired Mary on several occasions for various projects. I have found her to be insightful and creative in her approach. She is extremely accommodating in working within my budget and listened to my priorities. She was able to use some of my existing pieces and by accessorizing and adding some new artwork literally transformed my home. I have recommended Mary on many occasions to friends and family and they have had the same positive experience.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 17, 2014
“I contracted with KP Designs to complete a living room and dining room makeover that had been started by a local design firm that went bankrupt. Kim and her team of professionals worked with existing merchandise that was purchased, understood my frustration, and completed my vision - all with a smile and the utmost professionalism. In the end, the redesign of the space was much more than I ever anticipated. The team even added some extra surprises. My four walls now are inviting, comfortable and relaxing. I was so impressed, I've hired the team to tackle my screened porch.”

The interior design process typically follows several phases:

  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 Upper Arlington, OH


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 Upper Arlington, 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 an Upper Arlington contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.


Key questions to ask potential contractors in Upper Arlington, OH:


  • 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?
