Services & Process
What interior design services do you offer?+
We offer three core services: Full-Service Residential Interior Design & Decoration, Commercial Interior Design (hospitality, retail, office), and Renovation & New Build design. Every engagement is bespoke — no templated solutions.
What does your design process look like?+
Our four-step process: Discovery (we learn your lifestyle and create a creative brief), Concept (mood boards, palettes, and material selections), Design (detailed plans, sourcing, and procurement), and Reveal (installation, styling, and final delivery). You are involved at every stage.
How long does a typical interior design project take?+
Timelines vary by scope. A single room typically takes 8–12 weeks. A full home can range from 6–18 months depending on complexity, procurement lead times, and construction schedules. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.
Do you manage contractors and vendors?+
Yes. We act as your design advocate and coordinate with contractors, builders, and vendors throughout the project. For renovation and new build projects, we serve as the construction management liaison to ensure the design vision is executed flawlessly.
Investment & Budget
What is your minimum project budget?+
Our design fee projects typically start at $25,000 (excluding furnishing costs and construction). We specialize in high-end transformations with total project budgets commonly ranging from $25k to $100k+.
What does your design fee include?+
Our design fee covers the full design service: space planning, concept development, material and furniture selection, vendor coordination, project management, and installation oversight. Furnishings, materials, and construction costs are separate.
Do you work on single rooms or only full homes?+
We do both. Whether you need one room transformed or a complete home redesign, we can tailor an engagement that fits your needs. We are happy to discuss scope during your discovery call.
