First, we recommend that you read our chapter on the design process in our online book, Building a Dream. This will explain your choices, including the differences between a building designer, architect and interior designer. Often, a good building designer can come up with some great ideas for a basic remodel....and an interior designer can provide additional insight into color and materials selection, as well as placement of windows and furniture, taking into account things like drapery hardware, etc. An architect is recommended for more extensive projects, particularly where significant structural aspects are involved. In any case, it clearly sounds like you will benefit from the professional assistance offered by these design professionals. They can help you understand the local building codes and zoning restrictions and integrate your needs into an aesthetically pleasing and functional design. Builders Websource.
