Frequently Asked Questions
Interior Designers bring a specific value and skill set to a project. They are problem solvers and big picture people. Designing client’s homes is an intimate, detailed process and an interior designer will not only listen to your ideas and goals but help bring them together and factor in functionality, practicality, aesthetics, budget, ergonomics, quality and style all while keeping who the client is and who they want to be at the center of it all. Their goal is to help you create the space you want and bring it to life. From concept to installation, an interior designer will help keep the design process simple, thorough and the construction and installation of the project efficient and complete.

Whether you're expanding a kitchen, remodeling a new home, or crafting a space that reflects your lifestyle, we help streamline the process and elevate the result. From layout changes to custom details, we bring the expertise, resources, and imagination to make your vision beautifully real.

Yes, we collaborate with contractors hired by our clients. We love partnering with talented design professionals to bring your custom space to life, and we often recommend working with professionals we’ve successfully collaborated with on previous projects.

The duration of a project depends on its scope and complexity. While we plan meticulously, occasional delays due to weather, vendor schedules, or unforeseen circumstances can occur. Smaller projects may take a few weeks, while larger renovations can extend to several months. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for your project, keeping things moving smoothly and addressing any challenges proactively.
We understand that project scopes can evolve, and we're happy to explore additional spaces with you. Once we review the new rooms and scope, we'll provide an updated design fee for your approval. Adding more rooms may extend the overall project timeline, but we will work diligently to integrate the new spaces seamlessly into the existing design plan.
We are committed to working within your budget while ensuring realistic expectations. A clear budget is essential for a smooth process and successful outcome. We'll navigate within your budget parameters, but initial estimates may evolve as your vision expands. Transparency and open communication about costs are key. Our clients typically have a furnishings budget starting at $30,000 and renovation/construction budgets beginning at $200,000. We work closely with you to ensure your investment aligns with your vision, creating beautifully designed and thoughtfully executed spaces.
