We’re looking for an experienced interior designer to help design our entire 1,500 sq ft home. This is a rental, so we’re open to creative, non-permanent upgrades (peel-and-stick, paint, vinyl, microcement refinishing, etc.).
We’re drawn to a Transitional style, but we want guidance on whether that truly fits our taste and the artwork and pieces we’re incorporating.
Here's the photos of the place before I moved in, it was staged so none of this is my furniture but all the hard elements are still here, its an open canvas:
