If you feel that you have no talent, it is fine to consult an interior decorator about your house. Do not, however, give him or her free rein or a free hand; your house will look like a showcase for a designer's thesis defense. No one knows your life and your taste--only you do.

Besides, residents pretend to be "happy" with an interior job only for the first six months, and then start feeling that they are living in an artificial environment.
