Why Hire an Interior Designer

Local designer Dona Rosene sent me this link to a talk that Architectural Digest hosted at the Kravet showroom for the design community about the good reasons to hire a professional designer. I couldn’t agree more - with all the instant re-dos and easy decorating shows on television, it’s easy to think it’s easy. Sure, it’s a beauty business - but it doesn’t happen without effort and expertise. People used to say what a glamorous job a showroom would be. What they didn’t see was hours moving furniture and heavy fabric wings until my arms wouldn’t move. With all the design options out there now, I think that’s more the reason to hire a decorator.
