The 5 Best Affordable Interior Design Firms

This buzzy startup, launched in 2012, pairs its large pool of freelance interior designers with clients, starting at $50 an hour. Here’s how it works: you tell Homepolish what your dream space would be. Then, they pair you with a designer they feel works best for your needs and aesthetic. That designer then comes to your home for a consultation (they operate across the country). If your tastes align, you buy hours with them. The idea is that not only will Homepolish save you cash, but time, too, so all those frustrating hours searching for the perfect sofa or nightstands are outsourced. At such a reasonable rate, even having someone coordinate delivery and installation makes it worth every penny. Homepolish.com. Photo: Photography by Clarie Esparros / Courtesy of Homepolish
