What to know about Interior designers
An interior designer plans how the inside of a home works and feels: the layout of rooms, the flow between them, finishes, lighting, storage, colour and furnishings. On a renovation, the designer turns your wish list into drawings, finish schedules and specifications that a contractor can price and build, and often guides you through the many selections a kitchen, bathroom or whole-floor renovation involves.

St. John's is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name St. John's Region, which takes in 1 other places. A pro's service area might be St. John's on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
St. John's publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Newfoundland and Labrador. Whether interior design needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
Our Newfoundland and Labrador guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.

How to choose interior designers in St. John's
- Match the professional to the job: an architect or engineer where the work requires one, a designer for layout and finishes, or an inspector for a condition report.
- Ask whether they are licensed or certified for this type of work in your province, where that applies.
- Review a portfolio or sample report that's similar to your project.
- Get a written agreement that spells out the services, deliverables, number of revisions and how fees are charged.
- Ask whether their drawings will be suitable for a permit application, and whether they'll help with it.
Questions to ask interior designers before you hire
- Are you licensed or certified for this type of work in my province?
- What exactly will you deliver: drawings, specifications, a report or site visits?
- How are your fees charged: a fixed fee, hourly or based on the project cost?
- How many rounds of revisions are included?
- Will your drawings be ready for a permit application, and will you submit it?
- Can I see a sample of a similar project or report?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance?
Interior design permits in St. John's
Some interior design work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common interior design questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
