Working as a designer in New York, Santos was \u201camazed at how profound an impact\u201d good design could make on the homes and lives of his clients.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But he says, \u201cit bothered me that something so important was so financially out of reach for most people. Homepolish seemed like a natural solution.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Homepolish employs 500 designers in 15 cities, including Dallas and New York. To hire one, you must apply on the Homepolish website. You can also use the website to check out Homepolish\u2019s design magazine, which is chock-full of inspirational ideas, or take quizzes that will help you hone in on your preferred design aesthetic.<\/p>\n<h2>Affordable and easy to use<\/h2>\n<p>If your application is approved, Homepolish will pair you with a local designer for a free one-hour consultation. From there, you pay the designer by the hour. Homepolish asks for $130 per hour for major remodeling or multi-room designs requiring over 10 hours of labor. However, most makeovers can be completed in a three-hour block for a flat rate of $349.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Homepolish\u2019s site also has a shopping list feature to help you organize and streamline your furniture and accessory purchases.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This startup is just another example of the burgeoning \u201cgig\u201d economy \u2013 customers are increasingly drawn to \u00e0 la carte and by-the-hour services.
