Interior Design Rochester NY

If you are shopping for a fixer-upper, but have a hard time seeing past the current state and visualizing the end result, our interior design services can help you see past the dust, wood-paneled walls, and dingy carpets, and imagine modern countertops, exposed beams, and functional space.

From consultations to home renovation and design services, Reimagine Renovation will help you determine your design style, help you select color schemes and finishings, and provide a list of the items needed for renovation. It can be as simple as picking out paint colors, or it could include matching counters, backsplashes, flooring, and more.

What service does Reimagine Renovation offer?
Interior Design or Interior Decorating?

Our interior designers collaborate seamlessly with architects, our contracting team, and other professionals to ensure each design is practical, compliant with local regulations, and crafted with quality. The design plans created can be electrical layouts, lighting plans, acoustics, architecture or materials used for flooring. Aesthetics, of course, are important but depending on your needs we may recommend different types of materials.

For instance, if you have young children or a particularly lively household, we might suggest materials that can withstand heavy wear, such as durable tile options over more delicate porcelain, to keep your space looking fresh and lasting longer.

When To Hire an Interior Designer vs an Interior Decorator?

• Hire an Interior Designer if your renovation involves structural changes (like removing walls), requires detailed blueprints, or needs adherence to building codes and regulations. Interior designers can guide you in selecting materials to achieve a fresh look and optimize space based on ergonomics, safety standards, and efficient layouts.
• Hire an Interior Decorator if your focus is on aesthetic upgrades without altering the structure. Decorators can expertly select furniture, color schemes, and decor elements to transform spaces, creating a stylish look that aligns with your personal taste and lifestyle.

Key Differences Between Interior Design and Decorating

• One of the most significant differences between interior design and decorating lies in their focus areas. While interior designers prioritize functionality alongside aesthetics—ensuring that spaces are both usable and beautiful—decorators concentrate mainly on visual appeal.
• Interior designers frequently collaborate with architects during renovations involving structural changes.
• Designers need comprehensive knowledge about building codes as well as technical aspects like plumbing systems or electrical wiring layouts which fall outside typical decorator responsibilities.
• Interior Decorators deal mainly with surface-level enhancements like color schemes, furniture, lighting options, accent pieces.
