Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 September 2017
“Jonathan took the vision I had for our living room and made it a reality. He shared his tips and introduced us to local antique shops and professionals. Old furniture touched up and reupholstered along with unique touches, like Moroccan window screens as valances, make the room feel personal and inviting. I would work with Jonathan again and recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“I've worked with Erin on a few of my most recognized nurseries. Her design sense is impeccable. I would highly recommend her for Chic, Modern and Eclectic nurseries and kids' rooms.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 October 2020
“Dominique is a great professional to work with. We hired her to remodel and decorate our living room and dining room. She worked on the design of the rooms by selecting trim accents, lighting and paint color. She supervised the installation and all work needed. To redecorate she incorporated furniture we had in our home and added some new accent pieces. Wall paintings and decor was also added. Dominique has a wonderful artistic eye for layout and design. We are so happy with her work that we hired her on to work wonders in our library and family great room. Thank you Dominique, we love our new gorgeous designed rooms”
Nicky James Interior Design
Interior Designers in Darien, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2021
“I contacted 6-7 designers about doing an individual office. No one responded, as it seems everyone was much more interested in doing large scale projects. But I was lucky to come across Nicky and I have an amazing decorated office that is like home. Process was very turnkey, which was important to me as busy finance guy who can't visualize design. Nicky was happy to meet me on weekends and after-hours. He provided options but made it easy for a non-creative type to decide. He then quarterbacked the entire process, from delivery/installation of furniture to wall decorations to books on shelves. I spent very little time on the process but now get to enjoy an incredibly put together office that everyone compliments. Nicky is extremely professional, passionate in his craft, and hungry to excel. I would 100% hire Nicky again.”
Tara Benet Design
Interior Designers in Darien, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 November 2015
“I strongly endorse Tara Benet for any residential or commercial project. I have worked with Tara over the past 5 years. She has designed and decorated my homes in New York and Florida, and my law offices in New York and Florida as well. Tara is extraordinarily talented. As you may know she is an artist who brings all of her incredible abilities to the decorative world. She creates a unique living and working space that brings much happiness and enjoyment. More than anything else, Tara creates livable and workable space that exudes positive energy. It is a special joy to work with her. I also want to emphasize that Tara's approach is iterative and collaborative. I never felt that she was trying to dictate design or creative ideas. Rather she listens and works with clients to find out what we want. I think this is a very unique and special style. Tara takes the time to talk to and understand client needs. She is also very careful to work within reasonable and realistic budgets. At the end of the process, I have always felt a special connection to the places I live and work in because I was brought into the creative process. As you can tell, I am a very big fan, and would be happy to talk to anyone who is thinking about hiring Tara. She is the very best and you will not be disappointed.”

“The experience provided by our designer (Mrs Hedeshian) was so interesting: -the design was elegant -the ideas were so creative -the design details were not only based on her professional experience but also on her social and familial experiences (every detail was treated by her, as an architect, a housewife and a mother) Designer's Touch services are highly recommended.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Darien 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.

  • Experience: Ask about the designer’s background, education, experience, and previous similar projects.

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 Darien, CT interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Darien, CT?


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 Darien, CT 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 Darien, CT interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Darien, CT 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 Darien, CT 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.
