NAI’s Most Frequently Asked Questions About Interior Design

Which interior design styles does Nicole Arnold Interiors specialize in?

Nicole Arnold Interiors specializes in a wide range of design styles to bring your dream spaces to life—always tailored to your preferences, regardless of style. Our designers are skilled in aligning with our clients’ needs and never rely on a pre-prescribed “look” or clichés of what a particular style should be.

Our overall goal remains: to create unique, timeless looks that offer livable luxury, earning us interior design awards, glowing reviews from our clients and generous referrals for the past 15 years.

Is it better to design all spaces at once or one room at a time?

We can and do design single rooms, but we recommend designing a few spaces at once for maximum impact and cost-effectiveness. Combining rooms optimizes fees, reduces overall design time, and leverages our expertise most efficiently.

Transforming a few rooms at once is advantageous to our clients in many ways. This strategy stretches a client’s investment further by allowing us to focus our time on their cohesive look, without having to start and stop several times between projects. We can streamline our design time (reducing fees) and it’s the best way to spread the cost of any fixed fees (i.e., deliveries, installations, etc.). Both the client and we win using this approach.

What is included in the interior design pricing?

We are a full-service firm that prepares a detailed project proposal for each client, including a defined budget and a transparent design process. We break down our fees between a recommended investment level for furnishings and a flat fee for our design time and expertise. Using just an hourly rate can be misleading and adds another variable that might change the final price or limit the time needed to complete the process start to finish. So, by proposing projects using our model, clients get a complete picture of what their total investment will be and can confidently sign up for a defined result.

What should I know before a consultation with my interior designer?

Prepare by defining your project’s ideal investment and preferred timeline. Share key events affecting your project’s schedule, noting personal events or holidays that will impact the project and let your designer know at the beginning of planning. Gather photos that show looks that you’re attracted to, giving your designer defined insight into your preferences.

It’s important to know what you don’t like as much as what you do like, so feel free to point out those examples as well! Note any questions you have about the process and how involved you’d like to be and share those preferences early so we can work together seamlessly on your dream space. Have questions?
