Kasia's Creative Spaces
Interior Designers in Dorchester Center, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2023
“Kasia is such a pleasure to work with. She’ll go out of her way to make sure she creates the dream space for her clients, all while staying within the clients budget. That’s what makes her an amazing designer. We loved how methodical, responsive and creative she was. We had a very tight timeline for her but she managed to complete the entire work in about a month. She made the whole redecorating process so stress free for us and made sure we love everything in the space. She was always available to answer questions and made sure we were a part of every design step. We can’t say enough good things about Kasia and her team. Such a talented team who completely transformed our house. Highly recommend her! If you want to create your dream house Kasia is absolutely the designer you need.”
Lisa Tharp Design
Interior Designers in Dorchester Center, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 November 2013
“Lisa has assisted me with several projects, both big and small. She helped us select furnishings, accent pieces and window treatments for our master bedroom and bath, she helped design bathrooms and living spaces in our summer home in Maine and recently she helped me 'stylize' the book shelves in my living room. Lisa always does a terrific job! After listening to me describe my likes and dislikes she came up with a plan and set to work. I've always felt that she quickly understood what I was looking for and designed spaces that reflected my taste- not just her own. She's helped turn the living spaces in my home from being 'nice' to being really special. I really feel like my bedroom is now an 'oasis' and I can't wait to return to it each evening- we are so, so pleased and would recommend her highly.”
nest + company

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 September 2015
“nest + company helped complete a home renovation for us that we were so happy with that we hired them again when we moved. All promises are kept, and communication is prompt. Tracy Parkinson does not push her own aesthetic, but works with her clients respectfully and comfortably. I highly recommend nest + company for both large and small design jobs.”

She listened to our vision and direction for the projects and steered us towards several options that we could decide for. The designer look helped us reach a high level audience. Working with her was enjoyable, productive and helped us reach our goals.”
Ann Maguire Design
Interior Designers in Dorchester Center, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 February 2016
“My husband and I hired Ann to help with our second floor house renovations. Ann was by far the best decision we made in the process. We both work full time and utilizing Ann made the project seamless. Her skills and expertise were exactly what we needed. She was very dedicated to our project from the planning to the finishing touches. She has an architectural background so her experience in creating sample plans is amazing. She thought of designs we could never envision. Our home was built over 100 years ago and it holds a lot of character and charm. Ann was adamant about keeping the historic charm of the design while still incorporating a young modern feel to it. She is very thorough and fair in her assessment of the project and when we went slightly over her estimated billable hours she let us know ahead of time as to not be surprised but it was well worth it. She was a lifesaver every step of the way. She worked very well with our hired contractor and counter parties. She went and gathered all the samples for flooring, tiles, vanity, and paint. That in itself was a tremendous help. The details of the design are what overwhelmed me and Ann was able to narrow down the samples based on my tastes. I shared with her my pinterest page and I have to say my bathroom is a perfect combination of all my pins. She is the expert and her experience is exactly what you need when undertaking a major project such as ours. Without her, our bathroom and extended renovations would not be as beautiful as they are today! We are thankful everyday for Ann as we enjoy our updated home and appreciate every detail. We look forward to working with Ann in the future as we make our home our own.”
Betsy Bassett Interiors
Interior Designers in Dorchester Center, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 April 2013
“Betsy is an incredible designer. She listens very carefully to her clients taste and lifestyle needs and incorporates that into her incredible creative vision. Where others see obstacles, Betsy finds solutions that are budget conscious and beautiful. Although she is not an architect, she designed a renovation project that solved a myriad of problems without requiring the massive renovation suggested by several contractors. She is a pleasure to be around and has a wonderful positive attitude. My contractor, the subcontractors and our vendors all enjoy working with her as well because she is professional, conscientious, thorough and always well informed. Having encountered other designers over the years who were either pushy - in the sense that they were not budget sensitive or that they wanted my home to reflect their taste -- I can honestly say Betsy is a breath of fresh air. She has made my house into a home that I love, that reflects my and my husband's aesthetic sensibilities. I anxiously await the opportunity to work with her again.”

“Cheryl at ROI Design has a friendly, approachable demeanor which enables her to keep calm under pressure, and in turn, maintain focus and control of a project.

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Dorchester Center 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.

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 Dorchester Center, MA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Dorchester Center, MA?


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 Dorchester Center, MA 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 Dorchester Center, MA interior designer for my home?


Good design and visual inspiration are all around us. Start by searching for interior architects and interior designers in Dorchester Center, MA 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 Dorchester Center, MA 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.
