This year we moved into our new place. Considering the place is a bit bigger than our previous house we decided to get an interior decorator to assist setting things up. Both myself and SO are clueless when it comes to decor, we know what looks nice and what doesn't. But when we go to the furniture stores we just can't seem to combine everything together to make things work.
So we paid the decor people to do the design for a few of our rooms and they came up with a design that looks nice. Not spectacular, just nice. The following rooms were quoted on. TV lounge, formal lounge, Entrance hall, dinning room and our main bedroom. Total quote came in at about R485k
Now you would think that was okay considering this included furniture and accessories, wall paper and stuff. But when I broke the quote down .. The cost of the furniture was absolutely ridiculous. I assume this is due to custom made stuff. So anyways, I'm not keen on spending that sort of dosh. I've looked at the stuff from Weatherlys etc. and there are nice pieces of furniture.
Do you get decorators that would assist you laying out your place using existing stores. i.e go with you to a store and assist purchasing the furniture. Of course you will pay for their time, which we would be more than happy to do.
I'm not looking to decorate a palace, just a well laid out home.
