Wills Decorating — Attraction in Hyattsville

Valerie of Will's Home Decorating frequently works with the contractor we've selected for our kitchen and bathroom renovation project. I had never worked with an interior designer before and our project is on a VERY tight budget. I explained to Valerie over the phone what our project entails, our concerns and needs for assistance, and my further concerns that costs for her services would stretch our budget beyond the breaking point. She was so understanding and reaffirming over the phone and offered to come out and speak with us about our concerns at a bit of a reduced rate to allay my worries about the cost of the consultation. We agreed upon a price for her time (on a Saturday morning, no less) and anticipated talking with her and our contractor for about an hour. She arrived on time and provided us with tips and ideas well beyond the initial concerns I had initially expressed to her over the phone. Over 2 hours later, Valerie had helped to translate some of our ideas to our contractor and to set us off on the right path for a number of design decisions (paint colors/tones, closet area design, tile and grout options, you name it - she was full of great ideas).

Valerie was exceptionally helpful with her counsel and very accommodating to our financial situation. We cannot thank her enough for her time and guidance. If all of Will's employees share Valerie's work ethic, knowledge and pleasant demeanor, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone undertaking a home improvement project...

Look, I want a cute house as effortlessly as possible. Wills makes it easy. They were amazing when we were picking out paint when we first bought our house five years ago (including identifying the correct paint to match our trim, seemingly out of thin air), and they were great this month when we finally swallowed the cost of custom blinds and decided to get some installed. After considering online options but not wanting to take the risk of measuring our windows incorrectly, and not wanting to deal with installation ourselves (ugh, not another weekend house project), we called Wills. Valerie came out and handled the measurements and was super patient as we chose colors for each room. Their installer, Dave was in and out in less than an hour. We can retire the random pieces of fabric jerry-rigged DIYed as curtains (they were always supposed to be temporary - how did we end up keeping them for five years??? sigh...), and just enjoy our house's new look. Next items on the list to tackle are an upholstery project...

Doing kitchen renovations? Doing any interior decorating? I’ve been doing all of the above for the last two years to my masonry GHI unit. And, the best surprise to come out of the entire experience was discovering Will’s Decorating.

I’ve been into Will’s several dozen times in the last couple of years, but I knew nothing of the store before I walked in randomly to get some Benjamin Moore paint in 2018. Will’s is run by a brother and sister Michael and Val.

They are friendly, happy, well informed, generous of spirit, and completely down to earth. I recommend that anyone in need of supplies or advice, be it curtains, window treatments, paint, tile, furniture, or upholstery repair, go see them.

Believe me, their advice and kindness are well worth driving an extra 10 or 15 minutes to patronize their store.

If you’ve got any interior decorating needs, go check them out. You won’t be...
