You need to define what you want and need that way you can find a Designer that is interested in creating around you. Selecting a designer that is locked into their own tastes and as a result they will be forcing you to their World. Another way to look at it is: Is this designer into getting approval from their fellow designers or your happiness.
Also, home /interior restoration can result in major changes to the home from removing walls and opening up the floor plan. A combination of the opening up and the installation of new can place your Parrot(s) in a very stressful and chemically dangerous world. As you are shopping for an interior designer, ask about their experience with Pet and Child Safe products and processes.
Look for long standing designs that are not flash, dash and gone concepts. Will this design be a joy to live in 15 to 20 years from today. Wall color is easy to change. Walls, doors and windows are not. Changing a piece of wall art is also fairly easy, changing a stairway is not. Etc, etc, etc...
Design with family in mind. If it is just you today, what happens when its you and a few others in the same space.
Enjoy,
