Interior design is not all paint and wallpaper. The interior in interior design has all sorts of psychological implications as well.
"I am a therapist for your home," said Whitney Schones, president of Whitney Schones Design in Olmos Park.
With some designers charging $250 an hour, and kitchen rehauls running $50,000, why do you need a designer?
"So much money and time is spent on a project, and a designer's job is really a lot of problem solving and troubleshooting," said Melissa Morgan of M Interiors. "The home is a living thing like the family that lives in it, and half a designer's job is counselor. In a renovation, accidents happen, and you have to figure out a way to make it work. Like in life, sometimes accidents happen for a reason, and you have to go in a different direction, one that you may love even more."
