Frequently Asked Questions
Because Interior Affairs offers a unique blend of design and decorating services, we would like to address some of the most commonly asked questions. If you have a question you would like answered, please use the submission form on the Contact Us page. We will post your question and an answer.
What is Multifamily?
Multifamily refers to several dwellings located within the same vicinity, housing several people. Multifamily living can include apartments, condominiums, townhomes, duplexes and co-ops.
Does Interior Affairs only decorate for the multifamily industry?
Interior Affairs specializes in multifamily, but also provides a wide variety of decorating services for homeowners and businesses.
What is included in the "free initial consultation"?*
After scheduling an appointment, an Interior Affairs representative will meet with you at the site to be decorated. We will take pictures and measurements of the space and discuss with you in detail, any ideas for colors, styles, furnishings, etc. that you may already have in mind. Your input coupled with our creative expertise, will come together to provide the Decorating Concept. The Concept includes a detailed description of how the finished space will look and includes paint selections and pictures of furnishings. In addition, an all-inclusive proposal will be included, providing the complete cost for the project.
What if I am not satisfied with the Decorating Concept?
Your satisfaction is our main concern. If you are unhappy with the original Decorating Concept, Interior Affairs is glad to provide one revision at no cost. Helping you reach your decorating goals is our priority and because we aim to please, we are confident in delivering a design that you are sure to love!
How much does it cost to decorate a room?
Each space is unique in size, features and amenities. In order to provide an accurate price quote, an Interior Affairs representative will make a personal visit and assess your space taking measurements, photos and discussing your needs. Based on the information gathered, you will recieve a complementary Decorating Concept and a bid.
Is there any way to see what the finished space will look like before it is actually done?
For an additional fee, we will provide a Presentation Board which will include paint, fabric and other swatches, window treatments shown to scale, along with pictures of furnishings.
BRAND NEW IN 2009! Interior Affairs now offers Virtual Proposals! Take a 3D tour of your proposed space complete with paint colors, furniture selections, flooring options and more. All Virtual Proposals include a complimentary DVD. Visit our What's NEW! page for details.
Is there a separate Decorating Fee?
No. Interior Affairs bids are all inclusive. We do not charge by the hour. Instead, our bids are simply one price and include all labor and materials, furnishings, paint and related costs, window treatments, accessories, tax, delivery and decorating fees. Upon request, we will provide a breakdown of expenses.
What if a worker from Interior Affairs gets hurt on my property?
Interior Affairs is fully insured. We carry $2,000,000.00+ insurance coverage for all employees and sub-contractors in the unlikely event of accident or injury. We also provide waivers releasing clients of any liability while performing work on the premises. For a nominal fee, we can also add you or your property as an Additional Insured party upon request.
How long does it take to finish a project?
Interior Affairs knows the importance of timeliness. Since each project is different, timeframes for completion will vary. However, a start and end date will be provided prior to beginning any project, and we will make every effort to finish your project in a timely manner. In the unlikely event of an unexpected delay, we will contact you immediately and continue to work to complete your project by the due date.
Do I have to worry about seeing my same design elsewhere?
Absolutely not! Interior Affairs prides itself on creating individual and original spaces for each and every client. We make use of beautiful original floral arrangements, unique artwork and creative wall designs.
The finished project will be a unique reflection of you and your space will not be duplicated.
I love the Design Concept and am ready to move forward. What do I need to do now?
Leave the rest to us! Upon acceptance of the Decorating Concept and proposal, Interior Affairs will provide you with a contract. Once the contract is signed and payment is recieved, we will begin working on the project. Before you know it, you will have a newly decorated space that we know you will absolutely love for years to come!
