- Finding the right interior designer involves asking about their approach to understanding your style, ensuring their designs are practical for real life, and clarifying what you will receive for your budget. 
- It's essential to know the timeline for your design project, with a minimum expectation of two months for completion if everything goes smoothly.
- Always inquire about any catches in the service agreement, such as additional costs or the extent of your involvement in executing the design plan.
