What We Do
Our Services
We are a full service design studio that takes care of everything from start to finish in a streamlined process. From taking the time to understand your vision and lifestyle in order to achieve the look and feel and functionality you want, to translating that into a beautiful, cohesive design that includes procurement, project management, installation and styling.
We design and manage full-scale renovations and comprehensive furnishing projects. Our design work begins in the planning phase, long before construction starts, so every decision is intentional rather than rushed.
Signature Offering
Full Service Interior Design
From the first drawing to the final styled shelf.
Our design skills speak for themselves with our broad portfolio, but renovation & new construction projects require foresight. Before demolition begins, we resolve the layout, cabinetry plans, plumbing locations, lighting strategy, appliance selections, material transitions and furniture scale. Drawings are developed to guide our team of trades and contractors clearly and to minimize on-site guesswork.
During construction, we remain fully involved. We coordinate with trusted trades, respond to field conditions, review details and ensure what’s being built reflects what was designed.
For furnishing projects, we develop furniture plans that are proportionally sound and architecturally aligned with the home. Pieces are sourced intentionally, not to fill space, but to create continuity. Procurement, delivery oversight and final installation are managed through our team right until completion.
Our projects begin at a three-room minimum. This allows us to create cohesion and maintain the level of detail our process requires.
Project fees are carefully determined by scope, scale and level of involvement.
The Process
How every project begins
We start by understanding your vision, your home and your priorities. Our onboarding process is designed so you always know what’s coming, what decisions you’ll need to make, and how we’ll navigate any challenges together.
Discovery Call
A short conversation to review your project, timeline, location and budget range. This helps make sure your project is a fit for our approach before we move forward.
Initial Paid Consultation
A deeper meeting at your home. Think of it as an in-depth interview about your space, the conditions we’ll be working with, and your goals. We walk through the rooms, discuss ideas, and identify opportunities or potential challenges. We also outline your budget and explain how our services work. By the end, you’ll leave with clarity, actionable next steps and plenty of inspiration to get excited about your project.
Design Proposal
If we’re a good fit, we provide a detailed Design Proposal for your review. It lays out the scope of work, timeline, project management approach and a fee estimate for your investment.
In short: by the end of this stage, you’ll know exactly how we’ll work together, what decisions are coming, and how your project will be structured, giving you confidence and clarity before construction or sourcing begins.
