Decorator Yellow Pages

There are some exciting developments happening with LGN and my decorating business this year.

There are some exciting developments happening with LGN and my decorating business this year. I appreciate all the leeway you readers give me, understanding that it is tricky to write a blog, run a decorating business, and raise three young children in the city.

I feel so flattered when people email and ask to be put on my waiting list as a decorating client. Fortunately and unfortunately, I am beyond overbooked, and because of the exciting developments I just mentioned, I’m keeping the decorating business on the smaller side for now. It was a tough decision, but I feel good about it.

I feel really bad every day when I have to turn down new clients. Then recently I realized that many of my readers are decorators trying to get their name out in to the market. There is more than enough business to go around. I liked the idea of this post, where readers were able to share their favorite fabric stores around the nation. And I thought it might be helpful to start a similar type post that acts sort of like a decorator yellow pages.

If you own a decorating or interior design business, or you are new and want to start taking on clients, feel free to post a comment here with the following information:

*Please include all of the below information in your comment submission. Incomplete postings will be deleted. You might want to copy/paste the list below into your comment as a guide*

Business Name
City and State
Blog/Website
Contact info (phone or email)
Experience (years in the business, degrees, licenses, etc)
Fee range (you can put your actual billing fees here if you want, or maybe say ‘Budget decorator’ or ‘High-end decorator’)
eDecorating and/or local clients preferred?
Any other info you’d like to share about your business (like, ‘I don’t do kitchens or renos or whatever’). Feel free to also include a little blurb about your preferred style, like ‘Modern’ or ‘Traditional’ or ‘Eclectic’ etc.

I’m hoping this can be a good resource for people with all sorts of styles and budgets, who want help making their homes more beautiful.

    My projects run the gamut from high end 50,000sf luxury hotels to small guest cottage renovations. The connection with residential clients is what I truly love and is why I'm seeking to take on new!

    Design is my passion. It wakes me up in the morning. It's what I dream at night. Makes me laugh. It inspires me and it's also put a few gray hairs on my head along the way. Striving to make someone's world more comfortable, a little calmer, a little more their own…is my contribution to making their world a little better. So I dig it.

    Have just completed work for a few "e-decorating" clients & what a fun thing!! Would love to do more so please contact me if interested.

    Thanks so much!

    I work mainly with people on a tight or fixed budget but also mix in high end and lasting pieces with my design. Another element is I like to refinish and repurpose antique and thrift store finds to give my clients a one of a kind look.

    My specialty lately have been one time in home consultations with clients. Some people just want someone's opinion before they start a project. I also do projects from start to finish and I also take on e-design clients.

    Thanks again Jenny!

    Many years experience consulting friends and family on their homes. Finally decided to begin the pursuit of interior design credentials.

    I sincerely enjoy decorating on a budget. I think it's amazing transforming things from blah to beautiful. I work with most budgets. $150 a room and up.

    I'll take virtual clients via Edecorating, but local is great, too!

    I love design, and really love it all. My own personal style is definitely an eclectic mix of retro meets baroque. I love tastefully mixing styles. Bright color, or muted tones. I see the beauty in both.

    BFA Interior Design, 13 years experience. I started my career working in commercial and office design, and then switched into residential new construction and remodels. I am now doing what I LOVE: residential interiors with a light smattering of new construction, remodels, and commercial spaces.

    E-decorating + local clients.

    I can work with any type of budget, but most of my clients are mid-range…not on a super tight budget, but not necessarily "high-end".

    I want my clients homes to look, feel and work beautifully for THEM.
    I would describe my style as "clean traditional"…I love clean modern lines, but also love those little details that I feel really bring a room to life. I like to mix high + low…
    I believe that a thrift store lamp can live happily next to a $150 pillow. I believe in rooms that make you think and smile. And I believe that a room can look beautiful on any budget.

    Fees range from $200 – $1,450. Custom quotes and gift certificates are also available.

    I am proud of Be's philosophy to incorporate green principles into the design of every space. This is not necessarily something seen in the aesthetic, but rather woven into the furniture and material selections.

    My personal aesthetic is probably an eclectic new traditionalist, but each client’s personal style always shines with a little edge and a little one of a kind.

    Thanks!!

    Experience: I've been unofficially designing for others and been very focused on design for the past 3 years, but have not had official clientele yet. My background is in Engineering and Real Estate, and now I'm switching gears towards a more design-oriented career.

    Fee Range: My fees are very budget-friendly since I am aiming to gain experience and expand my portfolio. I am willing to work with clients with any budget, but especially ones who cannot afford the services of a more seasoned designer.

    I will work for local and/or eDecorating clients.

    I like to decorate my own home with a combination of new and vintage pieces and DIY projects. Overall the look is a bit traditional, a bit modern, and a bit eclectic. I'm comfortable with a wide variety of styles and believe with good communication, my clients will love the rooms we design!

I would love to work with you!

    I've worked with friends and family for years and I am just starting in the eDesign world. I am a stay-at-home mom, but my professional experience included working at two fortune 100 corporations and working as a high-end floral designer in Washington, DC.

    My services range across the spectrum – working with what a client has and adding a few pieces to decorating an entire homes.
    I am able to work with clients in Richmond, VA and the Washington, DC area but would like focus the majority of my time on e-Design projects, which affords me flexibility since I have small children. e-Design is a fantastic option for anyone with the limited budget not willing to sacrifice great style. Decorating can be very overwhelming, so it's comforting to know you have someone to guide you.

    My personal style is traditional mixed with splashes of contemporary elements to keep it fresh.
