If a designer tries to push you into a contemporary style when you prefer French country, or recommends projects far beyond your budget, find a different designer. If friends or family have worked with a designer and you like their décor, ask for a name and number. Visit model homes with layouts similar to your own. If you fall in love with the décor, ask for the designer's name. Many decorators who do commercial residences are also available for residential interior design projects. Once you've selected a designer, stay on top of the project. Make sure the fabrics, furnishings and accessories are the ones you requested. Then sit back and enjoy your beautiful new home.
