Interior decorators are more than just for your favorite HGTV show—they really can help you in both the home buying and selling process.
Although today’s technology allows designers to work with you remotely throughout the country, it’s always a good idea to look for someone local. If you meet them in person, they can often show you things like fabrics and tiles in person rather than relying on digital images, and some of them even have local showrooms to inspire your project if you’re not sure what you want yet.
Why Do You Need an Interior Decorator?
Selling a Home
When it comes to selling a house, staging it correctly cannot be overstated. A well-decorated home can make or break a sale and has the potential to impact the offers you receive by thousands of dollars. First impressions matter and bad ones are hard to overcome. But decorating your home can be an overwhelming creative endeavor, and not everyone is up to that task. To make your home stand out above the crowd, turn to the seasoned professionals that the locals have learned to love and trust.
Instead of scouring social media for ideas on how to decorate your house, try turning it over to the professionals!
Buying a Home
If you’re just bought a home, it may feel hard to get cozy in a new place with furniture and decor you previously purchased for a different space. Instead of spending months of your own time trying to figure out what layout will fit best and which furniture and accessories will work with your style, consider hiring an interior decorator who can make the process go a lot more smoothly.
Not only can a decorator help you nail down exactly what your style is, but they can help you incorporate design functionally into your home. Now let’s look at the official top interior decorators in Utah County.
1. Osmond Designs
Osmond Designs is a well-known name throughout Utah County. Heather Osmond owns Osmond Designs.
The company has two store locations, one in Lehi and one in Orem. They offer already-designed furniture as well as a design center that allows you to custom-make your own furniture. As a title sponsor of the Utah Valley Parade of Homes, they also boast of being the official design sponsor of the Salt Lake Parade of Homes.
Heather is also one of the hosts of KSL’s radio Home Show, where she offers her expert advice on how to decorate like a pro. Their website also offers a Room Planner application where you can digitally decorate your intended room to make it just right before you purchase anything.
Osmond Designs has won Best of State for Interior Design and Furniture Selection multiple years in a row and have also won two Best of Houzz awards in design and service.
Why we love Osmond Designs:
- Their Room Planner feature
- Homeowners can purchase furniture that fits their needs and taste

2. Stage 7 Design
Stage 7 Design is where you should go if you are looking specifically to hire a team to stage your home or even design a remodel.
If you are selling, Studio 7 Design can draw from its own collection of thousands of items to stage your home during the showing and selling process. After a consultation on what rooms you’d like staged, they can set up your home in one day and leave the staging as long as necessary for your home to sell.
If you’re looking to create your dream home, set up a consultation with Studio 7 to discuss your goals and the aesthetic you’re hoping for. After creating 3D renderings, Studio 7 will make the purchases and take over the moving-in process so you can sit back and relax.
Stage 7 Design has won first place in Interior Design in the Salt Lake Parade of Homes and has won seven Best of Houzz Design and Service awards over the years.
Why we love Stage 7 Design:
- Home staging and interior design services for homes and businesses

3. Gatehouse
Gatehouse was founded in 1979. They own a 10,000 sq. ft. decor showroom and an interior design studio located in Orem. Although you’re welcome to visit and get design inspo on your own, Gatehouse design services help you to define a room’s purpose and guide you through space planning. They help you choose details like fabric and nailhead finishes, and then they deliver and install your new furniture and decor.
Design services start at $800, but that fee is credited toward your purchases of furniture and accessories, meaning that the design fees end up getting waived after your purchases.
Gatehouse is now an icon among Utah interior designers and decor enthusiasts alike. They host exclusive live events and participate in Utah Valley’s Parade of Homes annually.
Why we love Gatehouse:
- 10,000 sq. ft. showroom
- Custom furniture
- Sells all household essentials
4. Remedy
Remedy is a great choice for personalized consultations and design services. Remedy was founded in 2015 and offers a “white-glove” home-design experience.
Although Remedy certainly helps you decorate your home, they primarily help with the actual design of your home, if you are looking to build. As a full-service design firm, they can handle a whole home design, from the foundation to the throw pillows, and take remodels on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re looking for just decor, their store Elements by Remedy has trained home stylists to help you with furniture styling and layouts as well as styling accessories.
Why we love Remedy:
- Modern, neutral style
- Full-service design firm (including architectural phase)
- Elements by Remedy

Glass House Collective is relatively affordable and accessible, with their in-home consultation priced only at $350.
Whether it’s staging to sell, or decorating your new purchase, a well-decorated home can make a difference in the overall feeling of your house. Turning to professionals can help an otherwise overwhelming process be a smooth, stress-free, and high-quality experience.
