Are you comfortable making hundreds of decisions for your project? Everything ranging from paint colors, to paint finish, all the way to light switch locations, light fixture heights, to molding details? If that scares you, you should feel very comfortable reaching out to an Interior Designer. The Interior Designer will act as your partner to help navigate decisions, tie spaces together, and be the project manager making sure it all comes together.
When you work with a design specialist from a retail store, you are working with someone that has access to specific brands. However, when hiring an outside interior designer, you gain access to many more brands and an advocate for you and only you. Your Interior Designer will know the ins and outs of your specific space. On the contrary, local design consultants have most likely never seen your space in person. An Interior Designer will always have your best interests in mind.
HaylieRead will work with you in many ways, but the first step is always getting to know you, your project, and your goals. This starts with a quick discovery call. From there HaylieRead helps determine the best next step.
The first step is building a team that will work together! From the beginning, it is best to have all parties; architect, designer, contractor, all communicating, and understanding your goals. Think about it like making lasagna, the best part about it is that the delicious ingredients are all layered. If you only add sauce at the end, the lasagna will fall flat. Same thing with Interior Design. If the designer comes to the table at the end, the overall design will be surface level, and not fully integrated.
This all depends on the overall scope. A new construction project could take 1 to 2 years to design, build, and finalize. Whereas a bathroom renovation could take 2 months from design to construction. Once HaylieRead sits down with you to learn more about your project, we will be able to provide an estimated timeline.

You should always understand the designers background and expertise. Are they a certified designer? Are they primarily an interior decorator? How do they structure their fees? All designers come from different background and work differently. Check out the About Us and Services page to learn more about HaylieRead specifically
NCIDQ is the nationwide Interior Design certification that requires over 8,000 professional work hours and 3 passed exams. This certification ensures the designer’s proficiency for design, construction codes, and details. NCIDQ validates that a designer cares about the function and the end result of a project. At HaylieRead we like to say we go beyond the pretty picture. We care just as much about the beautify of a space, as we do the functionality and livability of a space.

An Interior Designer usually offers services ranging from kitchen and bath design, to entire home renovations. An Interior Decorator specializes in furniture and accessory sourcing. Sometimes it can be hard to distinguish the line when talking to designers. The good news? HaylieRead does it all! With a background in design construction, and expertise in furniture and accessories, HaylieRead has no boundaries.
Interior Designers have access to furniture accounts that are not accessible to the public. These vendors are large scale operations that require cross country shipping and storing. The warehouse is the where the furniture is all shipped to while we wait for all the pieces to arrive. Once all the furniture arrives, the design and warehouse team will schedule an install day!
Once all your furniture, rugs, art, and accessories have arrived at our local warehouse, HaylieRead will schedule what is called an Install Day! The install team will white glove deliver all your items to your home and will tackle the unpacking process. The HaylieRead team will place furniture, adjust art, and style each space to add a detailed layer of design. The install team packs up and takes all the mess with them. And what is left is a beautiful stylized space.
Trade furniture is the secret gem to working with an Interior Designer. Certain furniture vendors only give Interior Designers access. These vendors are high quality and offer a wide range of styles, and the best part, more cost-effective pricing. Retail furniture is what you think of when you shop online or in stores. Includes stores like, Wayfair, Crate&Barel, Ikea, Restoration Hardware, etc.
A lead time is the amount of time it takes for a piece of furniture to arrive at the warehouse. Lead times vary depending on vendor, customization, and location. HaylieRead provides estimates of all trade furniture lead times at the time of design presentations. HaylieRead will also coordinate the various lead times for all trade accounts so you don't have to.
