Expert Home Stagers in Haverhill, MA

Vision and expertise. Clients often know their color or style preferences, but they may not know how to bring the design elements together. Then, there are some people who don't know what they want at all. A good interior designer can begin the design process from either starting point. The interior designer's job is to discover a client's personal aesthetic. A designer should always ask a potential client how they live, if they have children, if they have animals, if they live in the home year-round, etc. These are important elements to consider as a designer goes about putting together the total interior design package. The relationship between a client and an interior designer is always one that is built on trust. An interior designer with vision will take a client's wish list and bring a room to life in a way that reflects the home owner's personality.

Any interior design firm should be able to provide you with a list. Cebula Design is a full-service vertical company and represents over 80 nationally known and several boutique lines of furniture. We also have our own upholstery line which we manufacture. CDI handles everything soup to nuts, from plans to artwork. Most interior designers will want to supply you with furniture and fabrics. In many cases, clients will have a certain amount of their own furniture. An interior designer will work with existing pieces and artfully pair them with new acquisitions.

Hourly basis is normally used just for consultations. A design fee is more commmon on larger projects. Typically with designers that charge a design fee, they expect to be supplying the furniture and fabrics at a net-plus basis.

There is no such thing as a small job. If a client wishes to employ a firm for a job, it's a job. Some interior designers require a guaranteed minimum budget, Cebula Design does not adhere to this policy. We are fully staffed to accommodate all projects that come our way. We welcome every opportunity to be of service, period.

Unless you have a very short term need, buying quality furnishings is usually the better choice because these provide greater comfort and higher long-term value. For example, if your chair has frames that are screwed, glued, and doweled, coils that are 8-way hand-tied, and quality down feather cushioning, it will last longer. What you don't see in upholstered furnishings is what makes them last longer. Better quality pieces are worth reupholstering instead of replacing.
