Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC

M.S. Vicas Interiors
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 July 2013
“Moved into a two bedroom, two bath apartment. Before moving in the colors for the walls were chosen and painting done, draperies ordered and the additional furniture we wanted ordered. M.S. Vicas Interiors were professional, sensitive to our ages, and available. Small changes we wanted to make were handled easily. It was a good experience in all respects.”

LIFE Interiors by Khadijah Ali
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 August 2020
“First, I would strongly suggest working with a designer, period. Using a designer provides you with an objectivity, assistance with vendors, lower cost substitutes, discounts and a finished look that a trained designer can provide. Why Khadijah? In addition to all of the above, she is a skilled communicator (listener/interpreter). As such, she can quickly translate the client’s subjective values, aesthetic into concrete designs. Secondly, she is easy to work with. Her good people skills are particularly important in dealing with couples who bring their own communication style and differences into the conversation. Thus, KA is particularly skilled at getting to the root of differences and developing actionable solutions. Finally, she respects the client’s basic aesthetic values while gently exploring the space at the outer edge of their comfort zone. The effect is that you walk into the room and it feels right but not something you could have done yourself.”
Haus Interior Design
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 March 2015
“Haus Interior Design is amazing! Remodeling is a stressful process but Kirsten Kaplan kept us sane! Not only does she have an amazing eye for design detail, but she worked extremely well with our subcontractors making sure our remodel timeline and expectations were met. We did a full kitchen renovation and Kirsten was instrumental in helping us choose everything from the hardwood floors to the cabinet hardware. Not only was she able to find us some amazing grasscloth for a fabulous focal wall, she knew the right people to call for a flawless install. The result is one amazing kitchen!”

“Kimberly helped us select art for our apartment. She has a very good eye and is well connected to artists and galleries. She was extremely respectful of our taste and preferences and never pushy. She was very prompt and provided us with many options. She also introduced me to her framer and hung the art for us. She is a pleasure to work with.”
Pierre Jean-Baptiste Interiors
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 November 2012
“I hired Pierre Jean-Baptiste Interiors to create a new look for our den. We needed new furnishings, accessories, lighting, and a fresh coat of paint. We are a family of four and we needed a timeless space to relax after busy work and school days. To my surprise the project turned out better than expected. They provided the electrician to come and replace my old hanging chandelier. The painters were on time and clean. After proposing a sofa that I was not 100% sold on, I went against my feelings to let them piece the room together and I could not have been happier with the selections. Thanks again!”
Kim Johnson Designs, LLC
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 January 2014
“I have worked with Kim on two renovations; a kitchen and a hall bath. In both cases, Kim has been an enormous help. She knows the right people for the job, has great ideas and great imagination, and has the wisdom and tact to gently nudge me into another direction when I come up with some bone-headed idea that cannot possibly work. She's a joy to work with, and I'll probably be calling her again in the future.”
Lily Z Designs
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 September 2021
“We have worked with Lily and her team for two homes and are so thankful for her work. Lily is excellent at communicating the process and timelines. She works collaboratively, is responsive and listens to all of my ideas, helping me weed out the not so great ideas. The end product and look of a space is always beautiful, practical and perfectly executed. She’s great at finding ways to utilize space efficiently and selecting beautiful fabrics and lighting. I highly recommend.”
Kelly Marino Designs
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 February 2015
“Working in Real Estate for almost 20 years allows most agents to build a trusted vendor list. A list that rarely adds new talent to the network. Kelly Marino Designs was no where near my radar when my listing in Alexandria came to be, but I will say this without a doubt... it was her level of expertise, professionalism, and tireless work ethic that got this home into the beautiful show piece it is today....and under contract within 3 days!! If you haven't heard of Kelly, don't worry, you will. If you haven't used her before, I urge you not to waste any more time and HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY...The results are there and proven! She is now a friend and trusted advisor. I am supremely confident that you'll feel the same way.”
Simply Wesley, LLC
Interior Designers in Washington D.C., DC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 April 2014
“Working with Wesley far exceeded our expectations, having had worked with other designers. Wesley created spaces in our home that truly reflects who we are as a family. She is prompt to respond to any of our needs and questions and she is fun to work with.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Washington D.C. may be offered in different ways, including hourly rates, fixed fees, or a percentage of the project’s total cost, which will vary depending on the project itself. Interior design costs can range from £50 to £200 per hour, or a fixed fee between 5% and 20% of the total project cost. The key thing is to be very clear about your budget and your scope from the start, to ensure your designer can advise you on what is achievable. And remember, their contacts will probably save you money. A contingency fund of 10-15% is also recommended, especially if open-ended structural work is involved.
When considering hiring an interior designer, you can ask the following:
  • Experience: Ask about the designer’s background, education, experience, and previous similar projects.
  • Design Process: Gain insights into the designer’s project approach, design philosophy, preferred style, and how they incorporate client preferences. Review their Houzz portfolio to evaluate their design style and compatibility with your tastes.
  • Scope of Services: Inquire about the interior designer’s services, including project management, material/furniture sourcing, and whether they offer full-service design.
  • Budget and Timeline: Discuss your project budget and the designers capability to work within it. Ask how they handle unexpected delays & additional costs.
  • Testimonials: Seek references or testimonials from past clients to assess client satisfaction. You can find these easily on Houzz from other homeowners that have used this pro.

What’s the difference between interior designers and interior decorators?


These two closely related professions are often mistaken for the same thing, however, there are some significant differences to be aware of before deciding which to hire. An interior designer, sometimes known as an interior architect, can run full renovation and structural design projects, and will use specialised knowledge of interior architecture, construction systems and components, building regulations, materials and furnishings to arrive at your dream home design. Interior design companies are able to plan spaces and room functions down to the last detail, and can help design and renovate interiors, from initial planning phases to placing the last decorative accessory. A decorator on the other hand will typically be involved only in the aesthetic layer, the “look and feel” of a space, and won’t be able to assist in renovations that require structural work. Interior decorators normally come on board after all structural work is complete. So choose your Washington D.C., DC interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Washington D.C., DC?


They say life is what happens while you’re busy making plans. Some of us are just too preoccupied with a career and/or family to think about colour schemes, wallpaper, flooring and lighting. A professional interior designer in Washington D.C., DC can save you bags of time, stress and months, if not years, of living in a half-finished home. It’s their job to stay on top of the latest trends and to have contacts and visual references coming out of their ears. Interior designers can also save you money, by sourcing products via trade contacts or offering affordable alternatives to blowout iconic designs.

How do I choose the right Washington D.C., DC interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Washington D.C., DC on Houzz. Keep a lookout for images of rooms and features that you really like and save them to your Ideabooks to begin to develop an understanding of your own style and taste. If you notice that photos from the same interior design companies are popping up regularly then that is a good hint that they could be your perfect design match. You can feel most confident if you hire an interior designer or interior design company in Washington D.C., DC that has completed work similar to the look and feel that you desire, whether that is a mix-and-match lounge oozing mid-century modern style, a pale and interesting minimalist bedroom with shots of colour, or a beautiful space inspired by Scandinavian design.

You may want to check if your designer is a member of the Society of British and International Design (SBID) or The British Institute of Interior Design (BIID). Both are a benchmark of quality and reliability. And check if your interior designers can offer you the right type of service – some companies are design only, while others can oversee the whole project. If it is the latter that you seek, make sure any sub-contractors used are fully accredited and it is clear who they are supposed to report to. If late alterations are made to the plan, the contractor should receive a change order, thus minimising the risk of a dispute about what was and wasn’t agreed to after the start date.
