Midpack
Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
DW found her looking online starting with https://www.houzz.com/professionals...rators&location=Denver,+CO&distance=50&sort=4. And then many had websites to look further. What we noted:How did you find the interior designer who was willing to shop like that? It seems like many in our area are all about the very high end stuff.
- Every designer we talked to immediately asked how many rooms and what budget, so be prepared. We did 4-5 rooms and gave a broad budget range.
- All the designers we looked at published something that represented their normal budget ranges. We didn’t call the ones that listed $100K as typical (there are some in our market). And there were some who were too low budget for us. We chose someone mid range.
- They all provided example pictures of homes they had done, and it’s pretty clear which ones are exclusively high end. It’s important to ask what their signature styles are. Of course they’ll say they can do any style, and there’s some truth to that, but if you look at their portfolio you can tell what styles they gravitate to.
- Their hourly rates provide an indication too - if the designer is getting $250/hr, it’s probably mostly high end MTO.
- And the high end ones do much more advertising, so you have to look beyond splashy ads.
