Who are the designers?

Design Advisors are selected from our membership base. Our designers offer a wide range of styles, and they include both very experienced designers regularly published in well-regarded magazines such as Elle Decor and Architectural Digest, and designers with only a few years of experience. We believe there is a designer for every project, and our breadth of choice will enable you to be matched with someone who suits your style and budget.

What if I don't like any of the designers I am matched with?

No problem. Just let us know and we'll run a match again.


What about the designer's location?

You tell us whether you require the designer to be local. We can certainly match you with designers in your area, and we recommend this approach for full-scale projects. However, for small design projects and quick advice, many people have been satisfied with E-Decorating services. E-Decorating is a new trend where the designer completes a project over the phone or email, saving you time and money, and in many cases enables you to work with a designer who may otherwise be beyond your reach. Designers can advise on paint colors, floor plans, and what to buy without ever setting foot in your home, especially if you provide digital photos and measurements. Decorati operates the biggest network of designers actively E-Decorating.
