Hiring an interior designer can be... intimidating, to say the least. Communicating what you like takes a lot of preparation - and translating that into what you want? A psychic might be necessary. And how much will it really cost after buying furniture, pillows, lamps, paint, rugs...?

All myths, Interior Designer Janae Branning of MJK Interiors assures me. She loves working with the people who are stumped. It doesn't have to cost a fortune. And she suggests taking it one room at a time.


Here are her suggestions:


1. Pick your favorite room. It might be the bedroom, your private sanctuary. Or it might be the kitchen, the gathering place. Or it might be the family room, the heart of the home.
2. Don't pay by the hour.
3. Let her do the pre-shopping for you - selecting 3 options for furniture and accessories, priced low, medium and high. Then you buy the items that are right for you.
