How much do people typically spend on furniture, art & accessories for a room?

You set the budget you want to spend on products, and we’ll guide you with a realistic budget based on your project needs, style, and wants. We design each space down to the smallest details—even if it means some items may need to land on your wish list for later. Our goal is to prioritize your essential pieces, such as seating, rugs, and key design accents, while staying within the budget you’ve set. We want you to be thrilled with your design plan and ensure it’s both beautiful and financially feasible!

 

Can you refer us to a good Contractor? Architect? Painter? Etc.?

Absolutely! We’ve got high standards when it comes to keeping our clients happy, so we only work with the best. We don’t take referral kickbacks either; we just think they’re the best in the industry!

 

Will you work with my existing contractor?

Absolutely! We’re always looking to build our professional network.

 

What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?

Interior decorators typically focus on the decorative elements of a home, such as: paint color, furniture, décor, window treatments, bedding etc. Interior designers do this, and more. Designers typically have formal program training. An interior designer should have knowledge of interior architecture principals, drafting skills, general building code guidelines and more. Creative Cove Interiors is qualified to handle both your decoration and architectural design needs.
