Introduction: Hello, My name is Debbie Miller and I am an Accredited Staging Professional, Masters Certification, I also have my degree in interior design. Along with staging houses I offer interior design consultations, paint color advice, home organizing and de-cluttering. I have been staging homes and assisting clients with their interior design needs since 2004. As far as staging, we have an 11,000 sq ft warehouse full of furniture, accessories and lots of art. Most of our stages homes sell within the first 14 days.
Interior design consultations, listening to your customers needs and desires is one of my favorite things to do. Finding the right color and or furniture and watching your clients eyes light up with excitement is such a thrill. Styles change, colors change, creating a beautiful palette is "key" in interior design. Much of decorating is good organization. Much of interior decorating is visualizing. Yes, cameras and laptops help, but most times you will still be required to visualize an item’s size, color and scale in a space long before it arrives there. Seeing the end result is so exciting.
Organizing, space planning and de-cluttering, something I am very good at. It is hard for people to get rid of items that are treasures to them. It could be paperwork, collectibles or memories from your childhood or your parents items. Going thru each area and deciding what to do with it is hard, let me help you.
I look forward to hearing from you, thank you, Debbie Miller.
Everything I do is to help someone move forward in their life. I discovered that I truly loved and had a passion for taking raw space and creating a beautiful room. For me it was like giving birth. I loved how all the architectural details, finishes, and fixtures within a room could give the room a true character and feeling. To this day, it is one of my guiding principles: to make a room beautiful, even before you put the first piece of furniture in it.
Another factor for my decision to become an interior designer was my love of doing things for other people and making other people happy. Every interior designer knows that rush and thrill when a client finally sees their finished room for the first time. That sheer pleasure on their face and the knowledge that you did something great for them that will influence them and make them happy for years to come, is an incredible feeling.
When a client comes to you for the first time, it is just like a person coming to a psychologist with a problem. It’s up to the designer to know the questions to ask and path to take, in order for the client to find out for themselves, what they truly want from their home, and the way they intend to live in it.
It’s actually funny. As a kid in high school, I would have never thought about a career in interior design. But now as I reflect back on the last 20 years and even look back into my childhood, I cannot imagine wanting to do anything else.
