  • What is your design process like from start to finish?

    Our design process is collaborative and tailored to your needs. It typically begins with an initial consultation to understand your vision, style, and goals. From there, we move into space planning, concept development, and material selection. We provide detailed design plans, manage sourcing, and coordinate with contractors if needed. Finally, we oversee installation and finishing touches to ensure every detail aligns with your desired outcome.

  • How long does a typical project take?

    The timeline for a project can vary depending on its size and scope. Smaller projects like décor updates or consultations may take a few weeks, while full renovations or complete design overhauls can take several months. During our initial consultation, we’ll provide a realistic timeline tailored to your specific project.

  • How involved will I be in the decision-making process?

    You’ll be involved as much—or as little—as you’d like. We value your input and ensure the design reflects your style and needs. Some clients prefer to be hands-on every step of the way, while others trust us to take the lead. We’ll tailor the process to your comfort level, keeping you informed and confident in every decision.

  • Do you create 2D or 3D renderings before starting the project?

    Yes, we offer both 2D and 3D renderings as part of our design process. These visuals help you clearly see the layout, design elements, and overall feel of the space before any work begins. It’s a great way to ensure you’re fully confident in the direction before moving forward.

  • Will you handle purchasing and installation of furniture and décor?

    Yes, we handle both the purchasing and installation of furniture and décor. We take care of sourcing, ordering, coordinating deliveries, and setting everything up—so you can enjoy a beautifully finished space without the stress of managing the details.

  • How do you charge – flat fee, hourly rate, or a percentage of the project?

    Our pricing structure can vary depending on the scope of the project. We offer flat fees for clearly defined projects, hourly rates for consultations or smaller tasks, and percentage-based fees for larger, full-service projects. During our initial meeting, we’ll discuss what works best for your needs and provide a transparent quote before getting started.

  • What is the average cost of a project like mine?

    The cost of a project can vary widely based on factors like size, complexity, scope, and materials chosen. To give you an accurate estimate, we’d need to learn more about your specific project during an initial consultation. From there, we can provide a tailored budget that aligns with your goals and preferences.

    Absolutely! We pride ourselves on creating beautiful, functional designs that fit within your budget. During the planning phase, we’ll work closely with you to prioritize your needs and find cost-effective solutions without compromising on style or quality.

  • Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?

    No, we believe in complete transparency. All fees and costs will be clearly outlined upfront in your proposal or contract, so there are no surprises along the way. If any additional expenses come up, we’ll discuss and get your approval before proceeding.

    Absolutely! Helping you discover and define your personal style is a key part of our process. Through consultations, inspiration boards, and exploring your preferences, we’ll guide you to a design that feels authentic and reflects your personality perfectly.

  • Do you have a signature style or do you adapt to your client’s taste?

  • How do you ensure the space reflects my personality and needs?
