What is your design process?
Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your needs and preferences. We then develop a design concept, followed by detailed planning, sourcing of materials, and implementation. We keep you informed at every stage to ensure the final result aligns with your vision.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary depending on the project's scope. A single-room design might take a few weeks, while a full-home renovation could span several months. We provide a detailed timeline after the initial consultation.
How involved will I be in the design process?
Your level of involvement is entirely up to you. Some clients prefer to be hands-on, while others entrust us with full creative control. We tailor our approach to match your comfort level.
How do you charge for your interior design services?
We operate on a flat design fee basis. This means you'll receive a comprehensive, upfront quote covering the entire scope of your project—from initial concept development to final design presentations. This approach ensures transparency and allows you to budget confidently without unexpected costs.
What does the flat design fee include?
Our flat design fee provides a comprehensive package covering the entire design process—from the initial consultation and concept development to space planning, selection of furnishings and finishes, and final design presentations.
This all-inclusive approach ensures transparency and allows you to budget confidently without unexpected costs. Project management, site visits, and additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may incur additional charges, which will be discussed and approved in advance.
Do you offer hourly rates for smaller projects?
Yes, for smaller-scale projects or consultations, we offer services for $200/hr. This is ideal for clients seeking guidance on specific aspects of their space, such as color consultations or furniture placement.
Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?
While our flat design fee covers the design services, additional costs may include purchasing of furniture, decor, and materials, shipping and delivery fees, contractor or specialist services, site visits or project management beyond the initial scope.
We strive to provide estimates for these potential costs during the initial planning phase to ensure transparency.
Can you work within my budget?
Absolutely. We work closely with you to understand your budget constraints and make design choices that maximize value without compromising on quality.
What does full service interior design mean?
Full-service interior design is a comprehensive approach where we manage every aspect of your project from start to finish. This includes developing design concepts, space planning, selecting materials and furnishings, coordinating with contractors, overseeing installations, and adding the final styling touches.
It's an ideal solution for clients who prefer a hands-off experience, entrusting us to bring their vision to life seamlessly.
What are the benefits of choosing full-service interior design?
Full-service interior design streamlines your project from concept to completion, saving you time and reducing stress by handling every detail—from contractor coordination to sourcing materials. You benefit from professional expertise that ensures your space is functional, beautiful, and tailored to your style, while avoiding costly missteps.
Designers also offer access to exclusive trade resources and custom furnishings that elevate the final outcome. The result is a cohesive, personalized space that not only enhances daily living but can also increase your property’s long-term value.
Is full-service interior design suitable for small projects or specific rooms?
Absolutely. Full-service interior design is scalable and can be tailored to projects of any size, whether it's redesigning a single room or undertaking a complete home renovation. The key benefit is the comprehensive management and cohesive design approach, regardless of the project's scale.
What is vacation rental staging, and how does it differ from traditional home staging?
Vacation rental staging involves designing and furnishing a property to appeal to short-term guests, enhancing its online appeal and guest experience.

How can professional staging improve my vacation rental's performance?
Professionally staged vacation rentals often see increased bookings and higher nightly rates. Effective staging highlights the property's best features, ensures cohesive design, and creates an inviting atmosphere that resonates with potential guests browsing online listings
Can you assist with updating an existing vacation rental to improve its appeal?
