The public is flooded with exposure to interior design sources.

There are constant sources being exposed about current residential interior design such as color of the year, what trends are in, what is out, television shows, advertisements, celebrity designers, traditions, magazines, economic and social status, friends, resale situations, best buys now, et cetera.

How does a lay person go about choosing with what and whom to work when ready for changing their interior living space?

First, understand the difference between selling and designing.

Do you want to purchase new furnishings or create an aesthetic environment?

What level of quality is wanted for each aspect of the project?

What is your doable budget for the project?

For whom and what purpose are these interior living spaces to be used?

What feeling, ambiance, personality, image, look, presentation, et cetera is desired?

What is the education and intelligence level of choices available?

What is the experience of whom is there?

What are the options of designing and materials used?

How do all of the personalities involved work together as a team with common goals?

What is the best route to take to arrive at your desired results?

The best results are manifest when you choose with what and with whom to work using the laws of physics and principles of aesthetics that are congruent with your desired goal results.

Food for thought.
