Maybe your powder room has a case of The Sads, with dowdy wallpaper and a timeworn faucet. Or the guest room you revamped 20 years ago is now looking more dated than your wall calendar. It’s time to call a decorator.or is it? When exactly is a project too small for a professional designer to take on?
The answer, as you might have guessed, depends on a bajillion factors including the business policies of each firm. Birmingham, Alabama-area designer Dana Wolter requires a minimum of four rooms, and won’t take on anything less; Long Island, New York designer Marlaina Teich will turn down smaller asks, like accessorizing shelving or picking window treatments, to free up time in her firm’s schedule for commercial projects, like spas and salons.
