Heather at HBates Interior Design staged 2 homes for me that were coming on the market for sale. For both projects she used the client's existing furniture and decorative items, but arranged them in such as way as to showcase the features of the home. In both situations I believe the value of the home was increased by the work Heather did and the suggestions she made to the homeowner. Heather's style is best described as "casual elegance". I would hire her again if the opportunity presented.

Heather's design suggestions truly made my living room and son's nursery look amazing. Her ability to know what her client wants and to put that vision in to place is top notch. She is knowledgable without being too bossy. I'd recommend her and her firm. They truly delivered and then some,

Upon my first meeting Heather, I felt comfortable as she is quite personable and, willing to not only listen to what I said but incorporate some of the design I already have while introducing a slight twist.
As my living area is very large and includes the living room as well as kitchen area, I want to change the colors of the walls yet; have to be cautious as I have very little natural light in those areas. Heather gave suggestions as to the counter top I have as well as should I decide to go with another top to use Quartz.
The main bathroom is off the kitchen area, we chose a color that would compliment the living/kitchen area as well as changing the present sink to a pedestal sink as well as a bookcase for extra items normally kept under a bathroom sink. To give the room a bit more glamour, I want to raise the shower curtain to the ceiling. Heather suggested a Queen sized sheet.
It is amazing how little it really costs to transform a house into a home when on a tight budget. I would recommend HBates Interior Design with pleasure.

Heather is very nice, approachable and has a welcome sense of humor. She came into our house ready to understand our wants and needs while keeping an eye on what could be easily repaired to make house run more efficienty.. We worked off a project list she was willing to use. While not from Charlotte, she immediately made connections to ensure the design process would move forward. When we were away for a bit over the summer, she helped install (and make returns) the porch furniture, and got pillow inserts I forgot to order, as well as placed orders for upholstering. She also used Houzz and Pinterest to share design boards and ideas - this is great for those of us who need to see a visual or "look and feel" before executing.

I reached out to Heather for help to create a warm and inviting living space in our new townhome. Despite having a modest budget, Heather readily agreed to the project. She did some scouting and found some key pieces before we embarked on our shopping trips. We still need to soften the space with a few kid-friendly accessories, but I am so pleased with the space so far.
Heather is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her profession and has made many connections in the industry. She is easy to work with and I am appreciative of the help she provided me.

Heather Bates was fantastic to work with! I had the opportunity to work with Heather on my living room/dining room area this past year as part of a room makeover contest I won. We had specific budget guidelines as part of the contest and Heather was able to give my room a complete new look and feel within a $750 budget. I really liked that she valued my input for lifestyle and needs and came up with terrific ideas to suit our family. I loved all of her selections and we implemented each one. I highly suggest Heather to anyone needing Interior Design services.

Heather Bates is awesome to work with and we feel our money was well spent and not a penny was wasted:
1) She is well prepared in every meeting and we met her several times at home and at different showrooms.
2) She really listens and understands the requirement and the constraints very well.
3) She is full of design ideas and advice.
She completed our project on time and within budget, we admire her work at our residence and have received complements from our guests.

Heather Bates is an exceptional Interior Designer. When it was time to remodel parts of our house we researched possible candidates to take on the job. Heather came with stellar references and local awards.
Still, awards are one thing, the way a person interacts with clients and the quality of their ideas is another. Heather did not disappoint. She is a careful listener and doesn't push an agenda on her clients. Instead, she listens thoughtfully and comes up with ideas tailored to meet the customer's expectations.
She was exceptional in working within our budget and found cost-saving alternatives when our budget had to be scaled back. She has a great eye for style and detail.
I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Heather is amazing to work with. She had control of space and what needed to be accomplished. My organizing team came in and knew exactly what to do to help her create a perfectly staged home.
I will refer whenever my clients need help designing their ideal space orneedto sell their home.

I hired Heather to get my house ready for sale quickly. I was in the middle of a very busy work time and had zero time to get the house prepped and staged and unexpectedly needed to get it listed quickly. Her hard work prepped it well and it sold quickly. I was able to depend upon her to hire and manage the contractors needed and trusted her to make sure everything was right. thanks Heather!

Heather has been so wonderful to work with. Not only does she have the eye I needed, she addresses everything like a supportive friend. From shopping trips, to random messaging about colors or designs, she's mastered the art of designing. I finally have the house I wanted with Heather's help.

When we moved to our new home in Ashburn I felt overwelmed with decisions with decorating and design. After talking with a freind they reccomend Heather Bates. She made the process easy and took control because I had other projects with work going on and was not able to dedicate the time. Its all about expierence and expertise when it comes to picking a style that works for life time. Thanks to Heather she worked for us to get the right look that made our master bedroom and familyroom transform from drab to dramatic at a cost effective price. We love the furniture, flooring and over all look. The design services went perfect.
