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

©Elle M Photography 

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.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Oh, the joy of accessories!

For some, adding that out-of-the-ordinary vase or arrangement or piece of art does the trick.  Du interiors Master Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Objects give rooms personality.  You may be able to achieve this yourself. Or with the right interior designer you would b...
