I am a retired interior designer with a college degree in design and 40 years of experience. A good designer will meet with their client to determine the clients needs by asking many questions. Their are people who can look at the Internet, magazines, HGTV and know what they need. Others need more help. It is better to ask for help than make costly mistakes. Many furniture stores offer a free design service. Call various furniture stores to find a designer. If you talk to a designer and they are not a good fit. Move onto another designer. Have a budget and let the designer know if you plan to use some existing items. You don’t have to purchase everything at once if you don’t want to. It is your home, take your time to get the best result.
