Home Decorators

How would I find out about model home decorators and where they buy all of their bedspreads, etc?
Everyone loves how a model home looks but I would like to be able to buy many of the same things - pillows/bedspreads, etc. etc. All bedspreads look customize made. Are they? Is there a place that sells to model home decorators?
I am really looking to buy NEW . . . not model home existing items. I am looking for the source of where model home decorators buy their bed coverings, pillows, etc. It just doesn't seem like they buy them at the places you and I have access to.

pretty_brown_eyes:I went to a model home auction last week and bought tons of stuff. I only spent $dollars for sofa and coffee table, curtains, lamps, dining room set, pillows and a few pictures. Ask the agen showing the house. They can give you information and also let you know when to come back for their auction... More...

How much do home decorators mark up furniture?
I bought most my furniture through a home designer because she basicially designed my home inside with the builders and the furniture is unlike you can find at a furniture store....how much do you think she marked it up? plus she designed how everything looks inside.

robert r:you are looking at 100% off of the shelf, store quality, for designer level in excess of 1000%, but you are paying. for someone to do the work that you could have done just as easily, and that is in essence how they make a living. a good quality living room suite can be had for under $1000, add a f...

Home Decorators Outlet: Vanities?
Are the Vanities on Home Decorator's outlet website, costructed from high quality finished wood that is both solid and scratch resistant? I recently bought a solid wood console table online that turned out to have no drawer tracks, thin wood panels and stained finish that constantly nicks up. Are the vanities at least standard Home Depot quality?

Lulu:I used to look at their catalogs and wonder why this great looking furniture was so affordable?then I visited a store and realized the truth. In person their furniture is shoddily made and unstable. It?s really no better than the prefab furniture you can buy at Wal-Mart or Target.

Am I the only one that finds home decorators on HGTV terrible?
I watch these "pros" go into peoples homes and redecorate it and it's always the same stuff. They add bamboo. Why is it always bamboo? They add palm trees or leaves from palm trees, more bambo, some "funky" green colors, and maybe some oriental stuff. Then "bam" it's all finished and they claim it's beautiful. Personally, I'm not into bamboo or palm trees. I live in jersey. Am I the only one that finds these decorators terrible?

WENDYCAT:I tend to like the Canadian HGTV shows like "Divine Design" with Candice Olsen and "The Stagers". They use color tastefully. For instance, if they use red (and Canadians love red), it's not an entire room like on Trading Spaces but an accent wall or accessories. I agree that tropical motifs look ... More...

Home interior decorators, is Debbie Mumm "out" ? read below?
Hi, I am the female left brained that doesn't know how to do decorating. But I found debbie mumm borders, for the walls and got all excited and decided to use fabrics and all but then as I searched it appears to me that she is "passe" and this is only a problem because I can't locate fabrics etc. to match the borders. Am I correct here ?

sortaclarksville:Try ebay for the fabrics. I equate Debbie Mumm with the country cottage look, which does tend to be "out" right now. Everything these days tends to be more sleek and leaning toward modern. I personally like the french country cottage look, and I agree, hard to find things in that style right now.... More...

Are home Decorators crazy lately?
I have been watching some HGTV lately, getting some ideas for updating my apartment and I have notice a couple of things.

Why are:

1. Designers allergic to the natural brick color - I notice this when every one of them wants to either paint over it, or cover it with something.

2. Designers thinking everyone likes glass tile back-splashes on the sink - again... more doing it than not, and it does NOT look good.

Should I mount my TV over the fireplace? Home decor, tv installers, decorators please help!!!?
Hello everyone. I like the look of wall mounted TV's, and I have a 50" plasma. However, I'm not sure if it would look right in my living room and if I have the right type of fireplace, since it has that molding above it. Could anyone who's experienced with this kind of thing give me their opinion? Much appreciated. Thanks!

Why do interior decorators hate ceiling fans?
Everytime I watch any home decorating or remodeling show on tv the decorators go after ceiling fans with extreme predjudice. I rarely see them replace a tacky ceiling fan with a more elegant one, despite the fact there are countless styles available. They prefer to just do away with them all together. What's up with this? Why decorators hate ceiling fans so much? What if you really need and prefer the air circulation?

eskie lover:I, for one, am an interior designer with a penchant for ceiling fans and even have them in almost every room in my home. I've used them for years because we are located in a dry almost desert like climate and without ceiling fans our electric bills would look more like a mortgage payment.
