Whether you've been considering partnering with an interior designer for a while or are just now contemplating choosing a decorator, it can be unnerving to start the process. How can you find the right person who will see your vision? And what would this partnership even look like?

If you've asked these questions, we've come to help answer them. And what better way than to hear from two of our own personal decorators: Kimberly Paulus and Kiran Arif.

Kimberly is the president and lead designer of Monarch Designs based in the Houston area. Her company is a full-service interior design firm offering their clients excellent services.

Kiran is the CEO and head designer of Kirii Design in Cincinnati, delivering everything from simple consultations to creating people's dream homes.

Let's learn more about what it's like to work with these two designers and how you can find a professional in your area to help make your house a place you'll never want to leave.

Client Experience Is What Sets Our Designers Apart

At Decorating Den Interiors, we know the client is the most important opinion and voice for any project. You as the client get to run the show, telling us what you envision for your home, your budget and the goals you'd like to achieve.

"Everything we do, every step of the way, is about bringing the client's vision to life," said Kiran.

Through listening to you and helping to make this look happen, our decorators deliver a seamless experience focused on clear communication and personal connection.

"One of the things we try really hard to bring to the table isn't just interior design but the experience," said Kimberly. "One of the most critical elements to that is communication. Helping our clients understand what's happening along the way and having regular checkpoints in communication are really things that are unique to our firm and how we handle our clients.

Your interior decorator's goal is for you to fall in love with your home. This means you get to tell us what you want and we'll make it happen without you having to stress about each moving part. By taking the weight off your shoulders, you can anticipate the final reveal while watching the progress.

"The minute you look at your client's face when they see the space for the first time, it's like the best feeling ever," said Kiran.

While creating breathtaking homes means a lot to our designers, they also want the rooms to be exactly what your family needs for the long term as well.

"The most gratifying part of what we do is getting to know these families and getting to be a part of creating spaces that are the backdrop for their memories," said Kimberly.

What It's Like To Partner With One of Our Designers

So, what is it actually like to partner with Decorating Den Interiors? Each of our designers puts time and energy into learning their clients' interests and personal styles, bringing that into their layout and design choices.

"Injecting uniqueness into a client's home is the essence of what we do," said Kiran. "It goes back to understanding our client, their lifestyle and being focused on creating a design just for them."

And it doesn't stop there. Many designers will work with a client for months — even years — which allows them to know people on a personal level. This enables our team to incorporate pieces that have special significance and learn the hopes and dreams behind each room to deliver the perfect end result.

"We get to know these people, we get to know their families and get to know their kids," said Kimberly. "So every space really has its own special place in our hearts."

How Decorating Den Interiors Can Actually Save You Money

While many people believe working with an interior decorator can cost an arm and a leg, it's often less expensive than trying to do work on your own. This is because decorators like Kiran and Kimberly have the experience and expertise necessary to execute your desires on the first try, doing so in a way that fits your budget and brings lasting value to your home.

"There are a lot of misconceptions about the interior design world," said Kiran. "Some clients who haven't worked with an interior designer in the past think it's more expensive to work with a designer. Most designers are adding a lot of value to the money that you're spending, and it definitely doesn't cost you more. It actually helps you save so many dollars and make your vision come to life the way you need it to."
