How to work with top Charlotte interior designers, starting at $225

by Brianna Crane | August 21, 2026

Many Charlotteans are choosing to stay in their homes instead of upgrading to a newer or bigger model. 

  • So, if you happen to be looking for a refresh—without the budget or need for a full home reno—I found affordable virtual options with some of my favorite local designers.

Marie Cloud has office hours where you can sign up for one-on-one design direction with her. You answer questions ahead of the call so you spend the entire time problem solving. 

  • Cost: $500 (30mins) or $950 (60mins).

Alexis Warren has a wide range of e-design services, from coaching you through a bathroom reno to consulting on widow treatments. 

  • Cost: $225-$3,300.
  • Of note: Her more expensive packages include mood boards, product links, layout suggestions, etc.—basically everything you need to re-do a room.
