Frequently Asked Questions
What interior design services do you offer?We offer comprehensive interior design services including full-service design for complete home renovations and new construction, design consultations for homeowners who want professional guidance, e-design services for virtual projects, and specialty design for historic homes, coastal vacation rentals, and commercial spaces. Whether you need help with a single room or an entire home, we create beautiful, livable, soulfully sophisticated spaces tailored to your lifestyle.
What does the design process look like?We start with an initial consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle, and budget. Next, we develop a design concept with mood boards and space plans for your review. Once approved, we move into the procurement process of selecting and ordering furniture, materials, and finishes. Finally, we coordinate installation and styling to bring everything together. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved at every stage.
How long does a typical interior design project take?Timeline varies based on project scope. A single room refresh might take 6-8 weeks, while a full home renovation typically takes 4-6 months from initial consultation to final installation. New construction projects can take 6-12 months depending on the build timeline. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
What's covered in the design fees?Our design fees cover all planning, concept development, sourcing, procurement coordination, and project management. Furniture, materials, and contractor costs are separate and discussed upfront so there are no surprises. We're transparent about all costs and work within your established budget.
Can you work within my budget?Yes! We're skilled at creating beautiful spaces at various price points. During our consultation, we'll discuss your budget honestly and develop a plan that maximizes your investment. We can also phase projects over time if that works better for your financial planning.
Do you work with any of my existing items?Absolutely! We love incorporating pieces that have meaning to you. Part of our process involves evaluating what you already own and finding creative ways to repurpose or refresh items. We'll supplement with new pieces as needed to complete your vision.
What design styles do you work in?We work across all design styles, from traditional to modern, coastal to eclectic, farmhouse to contemporary. Rather than imposing a signature style, we tailor each project to reflect your personal aesthetic and how you actually live. That said, our work always has a common thread: spaces with both soul and sophistication that feel collected and authentic, never cookie-cutter.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I want?That's completely normal and actually very common! Part of our job is helping you discover and define your style. Through our consultation and design process, we'll ask the right questions, show you options, and guide you toward choices that feel right for you.
