What an Interior Decor Company Really Does for a Florida Home 

An interior decor company is a professional design firm that plans, sources, and styles the inside of your home — furniture, colour, lighting, materials, and layout — so it works for how you actually live. Stones Design LLC is an Orlando-based interior decor company serving homeowners and businesses across Central Florida. 

What does an interior decor company actually do? 

An interior decor company designs, sources, and styles every visible element inside a home — from the wall colour to the rug under the dining table. The work is practical, not just decorative. 

A good firm starts with a conversation, not a mood board. Marilou asks about your family, your routines, the rooms that frustrate you, and the rooms you actually use. From there, the design follows your real life. 

The deliverables usually include a layout plan, a material and finish schedule, a furniture and lighting list, and a styling visit at the end. Project management — coordinating tradespeople, deliveries, and installation — is part of the service for most full-room projects. 

In short, an interior decor company saves you time, money, and the cost of expensive mistakes. The right finishes, the right scale, the right lighting — all chosen once and chosen well. 

How is an interior decor company different from an interior designer? 

An interior decor company focuses on the visible, movable, and surface-level elements of a home, while a full-service interior designer also handles structural and architectural changes. The two roles overlap heavily, and most firms — including Stones Design LLC — do both. 

Decor work means colour palettes, fabrics, furniture, lighting fixtures, art, accessories, window treatments, and styling. No walls move. No permits required. Timelines run four to twelve weeks for a single room. 

Interior design adds layout changes, built-in cabinetry, flooring replacement, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and material specification at the structural level. Timelines run twelve weeks to nine months depending on scope. 

For most Orlando homeowners, the practical answer is to hire a firm that covers both. You get one point of contact, one design vision, and no awkward handoff between a “decorator” and a “designer”. 

When should you hire an interior decor company in Florida? 

You should hire an interior decor company the moment a room stops working for you — or before you spend a single dollar on furniture for a new build. Most clients call too late, after a costly mistake. 

Common trigger moments in Central Florida: a new construction handover in Winter Garden or Davenport, an empty primary bedroom after a downsizing move, a Florida room that the previous owners furnished badly, or a living room that has not been touched since 2008. 

Hiring early matters because Florida design has specific demands. Humidity affects fabrics. Strong UV light fades dark woods and certain dyes within months. Open floor plans need scaled-up furniture to look right. 

A consultation with an experienced firm before you buy anything is the cheapest insurance in the project. One conversation often saves five-figure mistakes. 

How much does an interior decor company in Orlando cost? 

An interior decor company in Orlando typically costs between $2,500 and $25,000 per project for residential decor work, depending on the number of rooms, furniture sourcing, and styling involved. Full home renovations run higher. 

Pricing models vary. Some firms charge a flat design fee per room ($1,500–$3,500 for a living room is common in Central Florida). Others charge hourly ($150–$250 per hour). A few work on a percentage of the total project budget — usually 10–20%. 

Stones Design LLC offers a free initial consultation, then provides a clear scope and fee proposal before any work begins. No surprise invoices. 

The decor itself — furniture, fabrics, lighting, art — is separate from the design fee and depends entirely on what you select. A budget-conscious living room refresh starts around $8,000 in furnishings; a high-end transitional design can run $40,000 or more. 

This is where talking to an experienced interior decor company saves you money, not costs you money. At Stones Design LLC, Marilou reviews your space, your timeline, and your budget before recommending a single thing.

Why hire Stones Design LLC as your interior decor company? 

Stones Design LLC is the interior decor company Central Florida homeowners hire when they want a designer who actually listens and a finished space that feels like theirs — not a showroom. Marilou leads every project personally. 

The firm has worked across 26+ Central Florida communities including Orlando, Winter Park, Windermere, Dr. Phillips, Celebration, Maitland, and Clermont. That local depth matters: humidity, sun exposure, coastal salt air, and Florida room layouts shape every material choice. 

Beyond decor, the firm covers kitchen design, bathroom remodeling, natural stone selection, home staging, and commercial interior design. One firm. One vision. One point of contact. 

Most importantly, Marilou treats every project — a single bathroom or a full home — with the same care. Trust, personal connection, and genuine design expertise are the brand. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring an Interior Decor Company 

Is an interior decor company worth the cost for a single room? 

Yes — an interior decor company is often worth hiring for a single room, especially a living room, primary bedroom, or Florida room. A professional plan typically saves more in avoided furniture and material mistakes than the design fee itself, usually $1,500–$3,500 in Central Florida. 

How long does a typical interior decor project take in Orlando? 

A typical interior decor project in Orlando takes four to twelve weeks for a single room and three to six months for a whole home. Timelines depend on furniture lead times, custom upholstery, and any contractor work involved. Stones Design LLC provides a written timeline before any project starts. 

What is the difference between an interior decor company and a furniture store designer? 

An interior decor company works independently and sources from many brands, while a furniture store designer is paid to sell that store’s products. An independent firm like Stones Design LLC builds the plan around your needs first, then sources the right pieces from the right suppliers. 

Does Stones Design LLC serve homes outside Orlando? 

Yes — Stones Design LLC serves more than 26 Central Florida communities including Winter Park, Windermere, Celebration, Dr. Phillips, Maitland, Clermont, Apopka, Kissimmee, Davenport, Mount Dora, and Altamonte Springs. Travel and consultation are included for projects across the wider Central Florida region. 

Can an interior decor company work with the furniture I already own? 

Yes — a good interior decor company always starts by reviewing what you already own. Marilou identifies pieces worth keeping, items to reupholster or restyle, and gaps to fill. This approach respects your budget and keeps sentimental or quality pieces in the new design.
