But would this be costly and how do I find an inexpensive interior designer? And would they be able to give ideas on larger renovations like making it so the dishwasher is not on the other side of the room than the sink, facing a wall (don't ask).
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ask around for a designer. Tell everyone you know that you're looking and you'll get a lot of suggestions. I could probably find you a dozen that aren't too expensive within thirty minutes of making phone calls if you were in my area. A good designer will work with your budget, and you can easily dictate what you're willing to spend. Tell them that you're only paying for their time and advice, not for procuring something, though sometimes they can get great deals that you wouldn't ordinarily be able to get.
