Featured Reviews for Interior Designers in Reading, PA

KJ Designs L.L.C.
Interior Designers in Reading, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2020
“I own a 1920's Gardener's cottage that was once part of a country estate, run down and falling apart at the seams, unlived in for many years. After making the structural repairs, I needed someone to come in and take over the project, creating what I hoped would become a magical guest hideaway. I had seen several homes that Kathleen Schippers had renovated and I fell in love with her work. She has a wonderful sense of space and color, creating rooms that invite you in. I wanted someone who could make the space practical and feel lived in, while at the same time creating an excitement and beauty for my family and guests. Kathleen did it all! The project was finished in a timely manner and on budget. My expectations were exceeded and now everyone who walks into the cottage is absolutely wowed. She has blended the old with the new, and though it retains all the charm of the 1920's design, it softly brings in some contemporary elements as well. As soon as you walk in the front door, you feel as though you have entered into this beautiful space, but you totally feel at home. Best of all, Kathleen has a down to earth style that makes you feel so comfortable when you're working together. She listens and incorporates what you are hoping to create into her method of design, and you feel very much a part of all the planning and decisions. Kathleen made doing this project fun, and that in itself is a testimony to her work.”

“So happy with the result of our interior decorating project with Alexa and Bryan! We had them design multiple rooms in our new home as well as an outdoor space. The result was incredible! We are over the moon happy. It was worth every penny. They stayed within our budget and our home was done much quicker and I probably would have spent a ton more dealing with everything myself. Will most certainly use them for our future needs!!”

“Norm was a pleasure to work with on this project. He is very thorough; actually, meticulous in doing due-diligence, asking the right questions and making sure the project ran smoothly for the client. He is very engaged in the process to ensure his client's achieve their vision on time and on budget.”
EM Interiors
Interior Designers in Reading, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2016
“Kass & Associates Architects has worked with EM Interiors successfully on a number of projects. Our collaborations with Cate & Mia extend back to their work with their mentor Ellen Magen, who had also assisted Dian Boone on some of our early work. EM Interiors adapts to both modern and traditional settings with equal ease and sophistication. We have worked in both urban and country settings. Their method is calm yet assured. It is always a pleasure to work together, with the satisfaction that the results are better than each of us might produce individually.”

“Genevieve was such an incredible support in helping me realize what I wanted, and then execute it. She has a brilliant vision that helped me see my space in a new way, and provided just enough options for me to choose from. And while I took a while to make up my mind, she was patient and understanding in the process. Working with her is a tremendous gift.”

“I had Jaime come in to redo my son's bedroom. Now that he is in college, we wanted it to have a more grown up feeling. She did great. Changed out the bedspread and draperies. Added all new wall pictures and fixtures. Plus all new accessories. Loved the bench at the bottom of bed and the side table.”
Sweetwater Design
Interior Designers in Reading, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 February 2013
“We've worked with Janice for years on design consultations. The master bathroom remodel is the biggest project yet. She designed the bathroom after listening to our wants. She talked us into closing a window where the shower would be, and it was the best decision. She also picked out the tiles and colors. It is beautiful. Over the years, her design expertise has helped us to raise our property value and enjoy our home more. I would highly recommend Sweetwater Design for your design projects.”

“I chose the Decorating Den because I have trouble deciding. Barbara spent over 3 hours talking with me, getting to know me. She came by with all I needed, 3 selections of each. I couldn't make wrong decision . She stayed within my budget, which was tight. It was the best decision I made.”

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.

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 Reading, PA interior designer according to the type of work you need.

Why should I hire an interior designer in Reading, PA?


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 Reading, PA 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 Reading, PA interior designer for my home?


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