What does an interior designer do?

An interior designer plans the space, selects finishes, fixtures, furnishings and lighting, produces drawings and floor plans, and coordinates contractors and vendors so the finished room matches the design. At Narrative Interiors, Mandy holds a degree in Interior Design and Architecture.

How much does an interior designer cost in Greeley?

It depends on the scope: the number of rooms, the square footage, whether the project includes a renovation, how much sourcing is involved, and how much build management is needed. Each service level is priced differently, and the fee is set at the consultation once the scope is clear.

What happens at an interior design consultation in Greeley?

An in-home walk through of your Greeley home, usually scheduled within a month of your call. We talk through what is and is not working, learn how you live in the home, and confirm which service fits. Call (970) 286-9918, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.

What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?

Training and scope. A decorator works with surface finishes and furnishings. An interior designer is trained to plan space, draw layouts, specify materials and coordinate construction. Mandy is an NKBA Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer and an ASID member, with a degree in Interior Design and Architecture.

Interior Design Questions, Answered

How long does an interior design project take?

Four weeks at the shortest, which is rare, and six to nine months for a full renovation. A renovation includes drawings, selections, procurement and construction. Timelines are set once the scope and service level are confirmed at your Greeley in-home consultation.

Do you renovate older homes near downtown Greeley and Monroe Avenue?

Yes, the Signature Service covers remodels of older homes, including the Queen Anne, Foursquare and Bungalow styles found along Monroe Avenue. Greeley's Historic Preservation Commission reviews major alterations in its two designated districts, so check with the Historic Preservation Office at 970-350-9222 before touching the exterior.

How does Greeley's dry climate affect wood floors and cabinet choices?

Dry air shrinks wood, so plan for it. Greeley gets about 14.65 inches of precipitation a year with very low humidity, which can open gaps between floor planks and crack cabinet finishes, most often in forced-air homes without a humidifier. Mandy weighs this when selecting floors and cabinetry.

Do you manage the contractor on a Greeley kitchen or bath remodel?

Yes. Through the Signature Service, Mandy, an NKBA Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer, coordinates our contractor and trade partners from drawings and selections through completion. City of Greeley Building Inspection lists a separate plan review track for remodels, at 10 working days.

Do you come to Greeley for an in-home consultation?

Yes. Mandy meets you at your Greeley home for the consultation, which is scheduled within about a month of your call. She walks the rooms with you, looks at how the house is used, and confirms which service fits. Call (970) 286-9918, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.
