"Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder and the Hands of the Decorator"
We all have visions of what we want our homes to look like, we feverishly page through magazines and record every detail. Having ideas is one thing but putting them into action and achieving the desired effect are two entirely different things. Yes, we all have vivid imaginations, but not many of us have the skill required to pull an idea together and put it on display for all the world to admire.
An interior decorator has the job of pulling your ideas off and making them part of your home.
As Jill Weinberg of Refind Interiors has said, design and decor should always be left to the professionals, and there are reasons to hire someone who is qualified for the job.

Hiring an interior decorator, although it comes with a price, can, in fact, save you money in the long term. Save yourself the expense of mistakes that you as an amateur would make and have to pay to rectify.
Professional
An interior designer is trained with a keen eye for detail. He/she will be able to make an assessment of what they have to work with and what your actual vision is.
