Here’s why you should hire a professional and not decorate your place yourself.

Very few people have what is called, “the eye”.  They are skilled in many things, but putting a room together or doing a remodel takes a professional.
It’s not just adding one piece. It’s fitting many elements together so the result is a balanced, attractive and useful. Decorating is about form, color, balance, measurements and a lot of shopping for materials.

Wrong decisions are expensive.
When you work with an interior designer you have someone who can affirm your decisions or help you with new approaches and ideas. Designers save you money.
Working with an interior designer can be costly. It is also an intimate process. You are sharing your lifestyle with a stranger. You may work together for months or years. It’s important to find the right collaboration.



Just because you found a magazine cover you want to duplicate doesn’t mean it is right for your home. It is important you trust and LIKE your designer. Be clear about your budget up front. Don’t hire someone accustomed to $250,000 budgets and expect her to shop for you at Home Goods.  A good designer helps you play a major role in all decisions. 



Du interiors offers full design service from floor plants to bath and kitchen remodels, and offers a variety of working arrangements.


You can hire us by the hour to help you plan the room layout, the furniture, fabric and color selections. Then you can do the rest yourself.OR, You design the project but hire Du interiors on an hourly basis to affirm your decisions through the selection process as well as tell you why they may not be good choices.



Du interiors offers E-Design, online collaboration. You can send us photos or your floor plan and hire us as a consultant instead of in person service.


What ever works for you works for us!
I am a phone call away.

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work.  Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...

When a year comes to an end it is a time to reflect back and look forward.
