FAQS
What makes your services different from other designers?
We lead with listening. Every project begins by understanding how you live, what you value, and how you want your home to feel. From there, we blend styles, mix old and new, and curate warm, textural elements that feel collected rather than decorated. Natural materials—stone, wood, woven textures, layered fabrics—play a big role in creating spaces that tell a story and feel truly personal to you.
Can I start with a smaller service and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Every project begins with the Design Concept, and from there you’re welcome to move into the next phases at your own pace. All work completed in earlier phases will be applied toward the next step in the process.
What if I live outside your area?
Our virtual design option allows us to create your concept, layout, and curated sourcing plan remotely with the same level of care and detail.
Do I need a large budget to work with you?
Not necessarily. Every project begins with a Design Concept, which gives you a clear and thoughtful direction before making larger investments. From there, we tailor the scope based on your goals and the level of support you’re looking for.
Do you work with contractors?
We don’t hire contractors directly, but we can collaborate with the team you select to ensure design details are executed to a high standard. Our role is to support and manage the process from a design and quality perspective — from coordinating materials and finishes to reviewing progress — so your vision is carried through seamlessly.
Do I need to know my style before we start?
Not at all! Part of our process is helping you discover and define your style, then curating solutions that reflect it.
How does sourcing furniture and finishes work?
After your design is finalized, we prepare a purchase proposal for all approved furnishings and finishes. Once payment is received, we place and manage all orders, track shipments, handle any issues, and coordinate delivery. A procurement fee covers the time and management required for sourcing and coordination.
How can you support commercial business?
We bring expertise in retail brand presentation and visual storytelling, helping businesses create spaces that go beyond function. Through design, layout, product placement, and marketing integration, we shape experiences that connect, inspire, and build loyalty. Our goal is to ensure your space looks exceptional while telling your brand’s story in a way that resonates with your audience.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary depending on the scope and tier of service. A room design plan can be turned around quickly, while Full-Service designs take longer to accommodate sourcing, deliveries, and installation.
How is pricing structured for each service?
Phase 1 — the Design Concept — is a fixed fee based on the room type and square footage. From there, pricing for Phase 2 and Phase 3 is tailored to the scope and level of support your project requires.
For projects that include sourcing and procurement, furnishings and materials are purchased in full before ordering, and a procurement fee is applied to cover the time involved in sourcing, coordination, and project management.
Do you require a retainer?
Yes. For full-service projects, we collect a project retainer at the start of Phase 3. The retainer is used to cover ongoing project management such as coordinating vendors, handling deliveries, managing timelines, troubleshooting issues, and supporting installation. We bill our time against this retainer throughout the project, and if the balance gets low, we simply replenish it together. Any unused portion is refunded at the end of the project.
