Ingenious Designer Decorating Secrets That Won't Break the Bank

Interior designers are masters at solving decorating dilemmas, coming up with solutions that address aesthetics and function all within a specified budget. Decorist, an online interior design service, offers virtual creative direction at a fraction of what a traditional designer typically charges, making it an appealing option for budget-conscious consumers who don't mind taking care of installation.

Even bigger than the seemingly lofty hurdle of designing an entire home virtually, was the two-week time frame in which it was all executed. With Decorist's top designers on the job, we jumped at the chance to ask them about their go-to tips for adding major style at minimal expense.
