Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC

Sittin' Pretty Interiors, LLC
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 October 2020
“Melissa has been a blessing through the last 9 years. She has done two of our homes and paint colors for another. No job is too small or two big. She works with each client and their budgets individually. She can do anything and make it look incredible! Several of our neighbors and friends have used her as well and loved their experience. I highly recommend Melissa no matter what your needs are.”
Abington Interiors
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 March 2015
“Sharon is an experienced designer that is able to listen to your ideas and improve on them. I have never used a decorator before, but I wanted help with a new house where the living spaces were open to each other and needed to "flow". I was having a difficult time starting the project, but Sharon was able to show me colors and styles that work together without looking like you just bought a room from a furniture store. She has helped me incorporate some new ideas into my style, and came up with solutions I would have never thought of. I definitely recommend Sharon for her sense of style and also because she is such a pleasant person to work with.”
CO Interiors
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2013
“I hired Maj Interiors for major kitchen help. I had a tone of ideas and a huge wish list but didn’t know how to put it all together. Working with Alona was a fantastic experience; she took care of everything on my wish list and organized the whole project! She was always on top of things and made me feel comfortable throughout the renovation process. I got a fabulous kitchen that was completed on time and on budget that I absolutely love! I would recommend Maj Interiors in a heartbeat!”
Rosy Alexander Interior Design
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 April 2021
“Rosy's a creative genius with a natural eye. She took the time to understand our moody worn-but-clean style and found a combo of new and vintage goods to make our spaces both functional and gorgeous. We get compliments *all the time* on all the rooms she's done, which are our kitchen, dining room, and living room so far. The best designer I know.”
Just Jill! Interiors
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 September 2012
“I hired Jill after meeting her at a home show. She finished work on my beach home this past spring and we are set to start my local home after the holidays. I came across this review of Jill and found it quite inaccurate. Jill is absolutely one of the easiest designers I have ever hired. Her enthusiasm is matched by her knowledge and if left to do the job hired, her work is breathtaking. She works completely alone--just her. She is delightful and talented and I could not be happier with my decision to put my faith and my childhood summer home with her. I recommend her highly.”
Kathleen Monroe Design
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 May 2013
“I have worked with Kathleen Monroe on multiple residential projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. Her expertise has been instrumental in bringing out a high sense of quality and style. Her skill with color and materials selection is excellent. She is a delight to work with, very flexible, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend Kathleen Monroe Design.”
Tranquil Designs LLC
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 July 2016
“Deri Washington from Tranquil Designs redecorated many rooms in our home. Her professionalism and work to detail was superb. She included us throughout the design process and used only the best qualified professionals when having to use outside contractors. I would highly recommend her services. You will not be disappointed. I love my new rooms.”
Casual Elegance Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 May 2015
“Lori did an amazing job! She helped me select multiple paint colors for the interior of my home and I love them all! She also helped me with wallpaper selection and tweaking a few other design items in my home like lamps and drapes! She is very professional, easy to reach and committed to getting the job done well! She definitely went above and beyond my expectations and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
Daniel Sawyer Interior Design
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 April 2016
“We have had a great experience with Daniel with redoing our living room. He was very patient and helpful through the design process. We are loving our new pieces and are looking forward to completing the redesign of our living room. We would highly recommend Daniel and his expertise.”
Melissa Cross Interiors
Interior Designers in Raleigh, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2021
“I hired Melissa to consult on some design decisions in our small rowhouse renovation. Wanting to create a seamless transition between old and new spaces Melissa offered ideas, encouragement, and a new perspective. I felt nervous to make so many decisions on my own, and Melissa was just the person I needed to talk through each decision. She offered samples and images to compliment and complete the look I was hoping to achieve. Our time together was like sitting with a good friend over a cup of tea, a pure delight.”

Interior Designer FAQs
Interior design services in Raleigh 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 Raleigh, NC interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Raleigh, NC?


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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC interior designer for my home?


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