I need a decorating service where I can I send them a picture of my room and someone will tell me what curtains and bedspread to buy so it goes with the rug and the other furniture.

Pottery Barn offers that service.  You might also post a pic on here and see what posters think.

I get emails daily from Restoration Hardware and Kathy Kuo for decorator advise.

 

Also, you can go to a local boutique (my favorite option) and get in-house help with decorating.

In my area we have a couple of interior decorators that will come to your home for an hourly rate and help you...color ideas, drapes, etc.

 

I did it once, I needed help jump starting my dining/living rooms.  They were a huge help.  I can decorate but was really stumped.  Once they gave me a couple of ideas I ran with them.

I think the HOUZZ website offers an option to upload a picture and people can chime in (many are not professionals, but some are), and give their options and what they think would look good.

 

You can check the Wayfair site, and scroll to the bottom left, there is an option for Wayfair Professional, who from what I can tell, will help you with design services and locating items you are interested in. 

 

You can always post a picture here, and we can make some suggestions based on what you let us know the styles you like....contemporary, shabby chic, masculine, glam, modern, mid-century, etc.

Just look at spreads that have c a touch of your rug color.

 

I prefer curtains that are the color of the wall to make the room look larger.

 

What is the color of your furniture?

 

I taught Interior Design and wrote curriculum for the area for 10 years.

Years ago I began a collection of pictures of decorated rooms that I especially liked.  When you do this, you begin 

to see a common thread, notably decorating styles, colors, accessories, etc.  In my case, everything is Early American.

And take note of your preference toward formal or informal rooms.

My friend used Pottery Barn twice.  She was happy with her results.  She's very picky.  It wasn't cheap though.

Pottery Barn will do it and they are very good, but also very pricey! I work with a lady who just remodeled her home, and she used a service called Budget Blinds to hlep her with her window treatments....She loved it, so you may want to try a local window treament service as well. I think that is much harder than bedding and they may be able to help with that as well. 

 

You may also want to post this in the Home Forum for some more suggestions!!!!!

Pottery Barn is expensive, but their items will look good a very long time and look good.

Definitely a "you get what you pay for".
