Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is to schedule a complimentary consultation. During this 90-minute meeting, we'll discuss your project goals, timeline, budget, and design preferences. We'll tour your space (in-person or virtually), take measurements, and assess the current layout. This helps us understand your vision and determine if we're the right fit for your project. After the consultation, we'll provide a detailed proposal outlining our recommended services, timeline, and investment.

Our process follows four key phases:

1. Discovery & Vision: We meet to discuss your lifestyle, preferences, and project goals. We'll create a mood board and define the design direction.
2. Design Development: We develop detailed floor plans, select materials and finishes, and curate furniture options. You'll receive 3D renderings to visualize the space.
3. Implementation: We coordinate with contractors, order furnishings, and manage the project timeline. We handle all the details so you don't have to.
4. Installation & Styling: We oversee delivery and installation, then style your space with finishing touches. We ensure everything is perfect before the final reveal.

Not at all! Part of our expertise is helping you discover and define your style. Many clients come to us knowing they want change but aren't sure what direction to take. Through our consultation and discovery process, we'll explore your preferences, lifestyle needs, and aesthetic inclinations. We'll show you examples, discuss what resonates with you, and guide you toward a cohesive design direction that feels authentically you.

As involved as you'd like to be! We tailor our approach to match your preferences. Some clients want to be consulted on every decision, while others prefer to trust our expertise and see the final result. Typically, we have key decision points where your input is essential—approving the design concept, selecting major furniture pieces, and choosing finishes.
