As an interior home designer, we’re passionate about refreshing your space in a way that works for you and your lifestyle. Do you need room to twerk to your favorite Big Freedia album, or are you looking for space for your vintage ukuleles? We’ll make sure you’re covered. After all, changing the look of your space isn’t just about updating the furniture or textiles — it’s about reinvigorating your joie de vivre. But with a high-end interior design touch, of course.
At J.Fisher Interiors, we help you create a style that’s inspiring, timeless, and, most of all, one of a kind. A good home interior designer won’t make your space cookie-cutter or boring. We see each new home decorating project as both a thrilling new challenge and a fresh canvas for the imagination. What does your imagination hold? We have amazing ways to figure that out and bring it to life, so no two homes are ever the same.
What is the Difference Between Interior Decorating and Interior Design?
Interior decorating is the process of choosing and placing furniture, wall decor, rugs, curtains, etc., to achieve a certain aesthetic result in a space. Every fall, thousands of college students practice interior decorating as they hit the shops and set up their dorm rooms for the year.
Interior design is the study of human behavior and planning for how a space will function, as well as how it will look and feel. Designers consider the volume, structure, and execution of a complete lifestyle within a space. Interior designers also make decorating decisions, but interior decorators do not design.
If you’ve never worked with an interior designer before, you may be wondering how to set up an interior design service or what full-service interior design is. This guide will share an overview of the process so you know what to expect.
The Planning Stage
Whether refreshing a spare room or designing a high-end retail store, great results start with a great plan. During the planning stage of our interior design services, we assess:
Who we are designing for. Is it a family of one, a family of six, or a workplace of a hundred? Who will be using the space two years from now or ten?
The scale of the project. Is it a new build or a remodel? What’s the architectural style and the attributes of the building that need to be accounted for? Will we work with your architect, contractor crew, or other partners?
Budget and timeline. While the exact details may evolve during the planning process, starting with an understanding of the budget and timeline helps us create a realistic plan for your interior design project.
Your personality and style. What’s your aesthetic and your inspiration? What do you imagine in your ideal home? What’s your lifestyle, your fashion, and your favorite places? How do you want your home to feel?
For more specific information about getting started with your interior design service, see our guide to briefing your interior designer. Once we have all the information, we will work with you to create a plan that meets your needs and move on to the design phase.
Designing Your Space
During the design phase, we begin with inspirational images, references, and sketches as we work toward creating the ideal space for you. We use digital design boards to visualize your new home, including decor, fixtures, and furniture.
As we refine your interior design, we will work with you to review and choose the perfect materials for your space. Seeing and evaluating real-world samples of your paint options, upholstery selections, flooring, and other home materials helps ensure your home feels as good as it looks.
Finally, with 2D and 3D drafting and rendering, technical drawings, and exact specifications, we design a home that’s perfect for you, down to the smallest details. This level of accuracy helps us manage and coordinate the design process during new building or home remodeling projects, seamlessly communicating with an entire team.
What the Service Includes
As a full-service company, J.Fisher Interiors manages your project from concept to completion. We will work with you to create a space that feels as good as it looks, including:
From a giant chandelier to a tiny reading nook, light has the power to define, enhance, and, of course, illuminate your space. Our interior design services work with the natural light in a room to create the right mood for every activity with style.
Furniture and built-ins. Naturally, a great interior needs great furniture. The right furniture fits your lifestyle and is scaled to your space, seamlessly balancing function, comfort, and style.
Window treatments. Window treatments are necessary to control lighting and privacy but are also an incredible canvas for color, texture, and design. Whether we are making a backdrop or making a statement, window treatments are essential.
Flooring and rugs. Floor material and coverings are other key aspects of the mood and feel of a space. There is a huge range of vegan and sustainable flooring materials that are as beautiful as they are environmentally friendly, and J.Fisher is passionate about providing the right choice for the planet and the project.
Paint and wall finishes. From the trendiest wallpapers to classic paint palettes, wall finishes unify a design and a home, creating cohesion and setting the mood.
Fixtures and fittings. From kitchen appliances to wall art and doors to drawer knobs, no home is complete without attention to detail. Size, scale, placement, materials, installation, and maintenance of all the more functional features of a home are just as important as any other aspect of design.
And naturally, we assist and coordinate purchasing and procurement, shipping, tracking, and final installation so your home comes together beautifully.
But it’s important to note that good design is never done. Trends are always changing, and personal growth drives what colors and styles one are drawn to. We set up your home so it feels the most “you” right now, but we make it easy to subtly update and change things here or there when those seasons change.
Think of us as the mix-master to your needs. When you partner with us, you’re teaming up with a full-service interior design provider, meaning we’ll take care of everything from start to finish. We begin by presenting concept work, budgeting, and space planning. We continue through furniture and fabric specification, color and material selection, requests for custom furniture, built-ins, and fixtures, as well as any equipment purchasing and procurement needs throughout the process.
Whether you are downsizing, remodeling, or building a new home from scratch, we make it all perfectly seamless with shipping, tracking, and final installation, culminating in an authentic and personal final staging.

``Working with Jen was fantastic. She was extremely professional and finished on time and on budget. Very creative, efficient, accountable and I love the outcome. I was very pleased with the experience and highly recommend her to transform your home.``
"Jennifer Fisher has a true passion for interior design, and it is evident in her work ethic. She is a professional with the artistic ability to produce exceptional results. That is why I can strongly recommend J.Fisher Interiors for any decorating needs or projects you may have."
"Very professional, reasonable and creative services. Worked within my budget and was always timely on requests and suggestions while meeting the decor selections for my contractors scheduling deadlines. I would recommend J.Fisher Interiors to all of my friends."
The whole experience working with J.Fisher Interiors was excellent. My home looks amazing and there was a nice balance between brand new pieces and the vintage treasures that Jen was able to find. Unlike past experiences with designers, where my budget was ignored, she took great care in working within the budget and delivering a stunning space that I enjoy living in and get tons of compliments on…"
"Jennifer is helping us with a full remodel of our house. She has been instrumental in helping us with fixtures, colors, inside and out, our pool remodel, the entire project. She has been extremely professional, available, communicative and has really listened to our feedback and what we are looking for. She has kept our deadlines and budgets on track and really gives us a variety of options to consider. I am so thankful to have her, I do not know where we would be without her!"
"Jennifer jumped in to do a project for our office, and we couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism and skill with which she operates. She got the job done in a timely manner, her pricing was reasonable, and now, our team has been enjoying the space so much more. I'd highly recommend her expertise to other companies or individuals looking to freshen up their space."
"As a recent divorcee, I rented a condo in a rush and it was a mess -- dark with an odd mixture of colors and styles. Jennifer worked quickly to completely transform the space using cost-effective options that made sense given that I might only be in the unit for one year. In addition to designing the space, she also served as a project manager for the work. She is very dedicated, works quickly and efficiently, and has a very professional and pleasant demeanor. She has a definite style and sensibility but also adapts well to her clients' tastes. I couldn't be happier with the result."
