Many people recognize a decorating style they like when they see it, but they find it difficult to put together colors, fabrics, furnishings and window treatments to create the look they want. Where can you find a good decorator?

If you like your friends' home, ask them for recommendations. Many communities have decorator showcases where you can see first hand the work of several local designers. Furniture retailers sometimes hire professionals to assist their customers. Before you commit to working with a designer or decorator, you should sit down and discuss their fee structure, your taste and goals, and your budget. Pay particular attention to whether the person is a good listener and communicates well. Whether you are trying to make your home look wonderful in order to sell it or want to fix up a new home, the investment in professional advice can save you costly mistakes and make your home a reflection of your good taste.
