Designing a Home to be Comfortable and Stylish
Is Your Home Comfortable and Stylish?
Have you recently visited a beautiful home and realized it’s time to seek the assistance of professional decorators? Interior design specialists can help you get the most from your home investment in several ways.
One of the benefits of hiring a professional is the incredible selection of custom furniture and window treatments, carpeting, and accessories you just can’t find in local stores. Having multiple options is key to creating a unique look of your own. Working with experienced interior decorators assures the biggest “WOW” for your investment. Carefully selected merchandise that fits you as well as your budget – as much or as little as you need — allows you to live in the space of your dreams.
When you work with a design professional from Decor and You DC you have access to an exclusive selection of products from over 300 quality manufacturers. You won’t find “your” unique look in someone else’s home or at a store. Plus, our professional decorators handle everything for you – from ordering and deliveries to the flawless, final installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are your credentials?
We train with the best. We have studied under Mary Gilliatt, internationally acclaimed designer and author of 40 design books. We have studied with her in the US and France, and are committed to continuous education – formal and field experience.
We offer full service interior decorating services which include color schemes, floor/space plans, selection of custom window treatments, furniture and accessories as well as the full execution of spaces and projects. In addition to our local team in Maryland and Virginia, Mary is an associate and assists with design on select projects.
How do you work? How do you charge for your services?
We offer full-service interior decorating by the project, and also offer design consultation by the hour.
For partial or full projects, we offer multiple designs to enhance or completely update existing spaces. We can work with clients in stages to assure that the items selected and purchased complement the desired look and style of the client. Full project design is an excellent option for someone who wants someone to design, manage and install the entire project.
We also offer design consultations by the hour. The sampling of services we offer include color scheme/paint consultation, new home selection and design consultation to builders and their clients, room redesign, preparing the home for sale, and shopping.
Do you provide references and referrals?
You bet! We can provide a list of client referrals as part of our mutual interviewing process. Additionally, we offer our clients contractor referrals for handyman services, painting, electrical and carpentry.
Do you specialize in residential or commercial work?
We work on both residential and commercial projects.
Do I have to buy everything from you?
Absolutely not. It is not going to cost a client more money to order furniture from us. We work with over 300 manufacturers that are priced similarly with the prices of retail stores that carry merchandise of comparable quality. We also work with manufacturers that are exclusive and only work with the trade.
Our job is to provide guidance so a client does not make costly choices they regret. We want clients to love their new space and feel good about their investment. And, in this case, we prefer to let our clients tell you how it went (testimonials here).
Do you design in a particular style?
Like anything that has to do with fashion, what’s old is new – yet nothing is the same. We pride ourselves on appreciating and studying all styles from history through current trends. We work with our clients to assure a look that is comfortable and unique to them. Our commitment is to use excellent design principles, guidance and execution so clients have the space of their dreams.
