Hiring an interior designer for your living room is always a good idea
Hiring an interior designer for your living area can be a game-changer. Professional designers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, helping you avoid costly mistakes and make the most of your space.
Here are some compelling reasons to consider an interior designer for your living area:
Interior designers have the skills and creativity to transform your living room into a stylish, cohesive space. We understand the principles of design, color theory, and spatial planning, ensuring that every element works together harmoniously.
Designers will know exactly where to look to find the perfect pieces for your living area, and work around your budget and needs.
As professional designers, we know where to splurge, and where to spend. Your sofa is essential, so we’ll spend more money on this piece of furniture than on a side table for instance. I will take your budget and build a selection fitting it, with a mix of high end and more affordable pieces.
Designing a living room can be time-consuming and stressful. Your interior designer will handle all the details, from concept to completion, so you can sit back and enjoy the process.
As a professional designer, I will work closely with you to understand your preferences and lifestyle, creating a living room that is tailored to your needs and tastes.
1- EXPERTISE AND CREATIVITY
2- KNOWING WHERE TO SHOP
3- GREAT BUDGET MANAGEMENT
4- TIME AND STRESS SAVINGS
5- PERSONALIZED SOLUTIONS FOR YOU ONLY

Working with an interior designer is an amazing way to save time and money when it comes to styling your living area.
Let me tell you a story about a client I worked with a few years ago.
She initially tried to pick products by herself, and bought (very) expensive coffee table and rug for the room.
But no matter what she did, she just didn’t like the overall look of her room.
So she reached out, and we worked on her living area together.
Turns out the coffee table and rug she bought really didn’t fit her overall aesthetic.
The coffee table was in iron, with a very industrial look. Whereas her own vibe was way more natural and light.
We had to replace both, plus work on accessories, thanks to art, decorative accents, lighting…
In then end, she lost all the money she spent on the first products she bought that were absolutely not a good choice for her.
She also lost a few months, trying to do it by herself and then reaching out to me to help.
When you hire a decorator, you make sure that your home will be in good hands:
- we know how to build the perfect selection of furniture and accessories for you
- we will handle your budget
- we will help you visualize how your room will look before purchasing anything, so you’re sure that when your selection gets delivered, you are going to love it!
- we know how to make your living room beautiful but also functional, by building an intentional layout, and including closed storage throughout the space

PERSONALIZED DESIGNS, JUST FOR YOU
A PERFECT KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR CHALLENGES
Because I live in NYC myself, I am the best interior designer for any New Yorker who wants to create a home you’ll love.
I understand your challenges: I’m myself a renter here, paying a high monthly fee for a little piece of the city. Which makes our interiors even more essential than anywhere else!
Thanks to a caring process, and an in-depth discovery phase, I will understand your needs and dreams about your home.
My goal: building a space you'll love!
Every design I create is unique, tailored to you, and you only!
LET'S WORK TOGETHER!
What are the
current living
room decor trends?
I don’t love talking about trends in terms of home design.
Why? Because trends come and go. And the goal is not to style your space for the next 2 months.
If I were to do that, then what would happen in 2 months, when a new TikTok trend comes out?
Of course, there are popular styles for living areas, like mid century modern or Scandinavian style.
But these are not short-time trends that will disappear in a matter of weeks. These are decorative styles that have been there for decades.
When designing your home, I care more about your own vibe and aesthetic rather than what is currently trending on Pinterest!

Frequently asked questions
Of course!
Your home decorator will select items that you’ll love and that will fit your aesthetic. No more purchasing items and ending up changing them 2 months later
+ Your interior designer will select furniture and accessories that will actually fit in your home. No more purchasing pieces that, once get delivered, are way too big/small for the space
+ Your designer will create your house in 3D and will show you exactly how your interior will look, before placing any order. No more being disappointed IRL once you put everything together
See how much money you already saved?
And that, of course, doesn’t include the time you won’t have to spend on this project yourself by trusting a professional with your project!
If you need me to, absolutely!
When working on a full-room design, I select furniture, accessories (rugs, lighting, wall art, decorative items…) but also wall treatment (paint or wallpaper), and sometimes finishes (cabinets, floors…) depending on the project.
But we can also reuse the furniture you currently have. That’s always an option.
In that case, I focus on the accessories selection, to tie your interior together and create a beautiful vibe, without changing the furniture.
When working with an decorator, you obviously pay for the service they will deliver (generally building your selection of materials, furniture and accessories).
But you also pay for a professional eye that will be able to create this amazing selection for you.
When working with Design by Anaïs in particular, you pay for my experience, the personalization of the project (I will always place YOU at the center of the process, and create something YOU will love) and the quick turnarounds (usually 10 days max).
My offers include full-room designs (from wall treatment to decorative items), layout consultation, paint color consultation, live coaching, accessories selection and tons of other options!
A lot of variables must be taken into account here.
Depending on the project, the price can be totally different!
For instance, if you are planning renovations, the price of materials and your contractor’s fee will impact the price.
My specialty is not renovations and works, so I’ll focus on the other part: furniture and accessories.
But here too, we have a lot of different options.
You can pick an affordable brand (like Target, Wayfair, IKEA…) and redo a whole bedroom for 3500$ (furniture + accessories).
But you can also pick a more high-end brand (Lulu & Georgia, Restoration Hardware, Jenni Kayne…) and redo the same room for 15k$.
I personally like to build a creative mix of pieces, picking more expensive items when it’s important (like a sofa, a bed, a dining table), and use more affordable brands for accent items (rugs, lighting, decor…).
That’s one of the perks of hiring a designer: we know how to make your budget work!
We know how to create the perfect mix of brands for your interiors to look perfect for you.
If you’re not sure if your budget works for your plan, don’t hesitate to contact me, and I’ll let you know!
Whatever package you pick, if we work 1:1 together, the process will be very similar.
As soon as I receive your order, I will send you your personal board, where you’ll find a short video about the process, and all you need to get ready.
It is not an obligation, but we usually hop on a call before the start date, to chat about your design dreams.
Then, it’s time for me to work on your home!
I usually start by determining the best layout for your apartment or house.
Then it’s time to select furniture and accessories (rug, lighting, decor, pillows, wall art…) for you.
Once the selection is finalized, I create your deliverables:
- 3D renderings of the room
- A clickable shopping list with all the pieces of your selection (furniture + accessories)
- A detailed layout of the room so you’ll know exactly where everything goes once your selection gets delivered
- Installation and styling guidelines, so you’re not alone when it comes to styling every piece of your selection
And send you everything in 7-10 business days depending on the scope of work.
Absolutely!
I don’t need you to be a local to work together.
My process was specifically designed to be done 100% remotely.
Actually, fun fact, even if I have a lot of clients in NYC, I only get to see 10% of my project in real life!
So being out of NYC is not a problem at all!
I did projects in California, Florida, Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Georgia, Bahamas, Hawaii and many more!
