Interior design isn’t just about what you love—it’s about why you love it. We take the time to uncover what truly speaks to you—whether it’s the hand-stitched detail of an Hermès bag or the comfort of a well-loved chair—and build around those ideals.
Our process is designed to stay consistent, no matter the project size. It begins with detailed onboarding and ends with a full playbook—a complete design plan with every layout, material, and finish selected for you. Once we hand the plans over, you complete them at your own pace, with your own team.
For those who want stellar results without getting
tangled in the details. We oversee trades, orders, and
each decision, ensuring your home elevates your
everyday life. Rest assured—we think of everything.
We start by listening—really listening. From everyday routines to favorite hotels, we dig deep to understand what makes your home feel like a reflection of you.
This two-hour deep dive is where the magic starts. We walk through your space, talk through your priorities, and set the foundation for a plan that feels right.
With insights from our conversations, we craft a design plan that balances your style, your lifestyle, and the right mix of interest and longevity.
In 4-5 weeks, we’ll unveil the complete plan. The design is a fully realized vision—fabrics, finishes, furniture, and all—so you can make confident, informed choices with literally no overwhelm.
Once selections are approved, we handle everything—from sourcing, orders to overseeing artisans, trades, and the installation—so you don’t have to. Every detail, accounted for.
The difference between a nice space and a remarkable one? Thoughtful finishing touches. We style, accessorize, and personalize to make your home feel complete. Punch lists are completed. Follow-ups are made.
Every project begins with a discovery call—a no-pressure way to see if we’re the right fit. Then, a two-hour consultation lays the groundwork, diving into your space, style, and needs. We review a detailed questionnaire, pricing, and project framework. If we move forward, we meet within a week to finalize scope and fees, setting a clear, seamless path.
Our team cuts through the chaos of seemingly endless choices. We pull in your history, wants, and needs—and then we introduce a clear vision that includes fabrics, finishes, and textures. When the full design is revealed, it feels instinctively perfect and unmistakably yours.
Clients sometimes think they’re content with the familiar—until they experience something truly distinctive. Whether it’s a well-loved book collection given a place of honor or a design element made exclusively for you, we’ll help you see your home in a new light. And we build in the subtle details that make life easier for years to come—from ergonomic handles and wider hallways to a perfectly measured sofa height—baking them into the design in a way that feels quietly perfect.
Our process always starts with a 20-minute discovery call where we learn about your project, you learn a little about how we work, and in turn discover if we’re a good fit. The next step is an in-home consultation, aka a two hour working meeting. During this time, we’ll share a multitude of design ideas for your project so that together we can begin to define and prioritize next steps. We’re then able to calculate a design fee and present a scope of work.
After the agreement has been signed, we photograph and measure your space. Two weeks later we either meet in person or on Zoom to ensure that our vision is in sync. We’ll then set aside one full day for all trades (such as plumbers and electricians) to meet at the site – this helps to anticipate any unforeseen obstacles that may affect our design.
We then focus on research and design development. This is where we execute our rough drawings, followed by furniture and lighting plans, window treatment designs, cabinetry and millwork designs and a comprehensive color scheme. Finally, we hold the presentation.
95% of our clients want us to implement the design for them, while the rest (those with the time and energy!) choose to carry out the project on their own. For those clients, we offer design only—we will hand over our plans so that you are able to order products, oversee the painters and electricians, etc.
Once we have your approval, we will start placing orders for all agreed upon furnishings and accessories. Our bi-monthly updates ensure that you are kept up to date for the duration of the project. Our goal is that you never have to ask “where are we with our project?” Concurrently, orders are trickling in and inspected in our local warehouse. Once all orders have arrived, furniture installation and the styling process begins!
We offer full service as well as design only services. Because there are clients who only need window treatments, we do offer that as a separate package.
Research has shown that too many choices overwhelm us and stress us out and that’s never our goal. There are thousands of fabrics, finishes and products in the design world. Our clients trust us to curate these choices and present one ideal design with one round of edits. In our presentation we will always explain our thought process as to why each piece was chosen and how they “speak” to one another.
Yes! A-la carte may include designing and installing custom window treatments, specifying paint colors, designing floor and furniture floor plans, or even one or two hour consultations to confirm your choices for a project you’re undertaking on your own. We will gladly customize a package for you.
Our design fees vary with each project. During the initial design consultation we will take a look at your project and discuss a range of things such as scope of work, lifestyle, functionally, budget, your desired aesthetic and so on. This consultation allows us to understand the full scope of your project and accurately prepare a design fee proposal.
We are flexible with our design fee structure and will help you decide which method (hourly or a set fee) will best benefit you. As each project is unique, many variables will impact costs, including the number of vintage pieces as well as custom pieces necessary for the project. If you choose hourly billing, we will estimate the number of hours that will go in the design phase of the project. When the scope of work is clear and defined, we can quote a set fee for the creation of the design, that includes an assessment of the time involved, materials and resources, the level of service requested, expertise, location of project and creativity it will take to professionally execute your design plan.
Procurement, administration, construction support, and execution are billed hourly due to the many variables involved. For larger projects, we’re happy to work with you to establish a monthly estimate so you can plan accordingly. We can also share typical time ranges from similar past projects to help set expectations.
Very early on in the process, I will share photos from prior projects and discuss the investment that is necessary to create these spaces. By having this discussion, we’ll discover if we are able to design to the level of detail and customization that you would like for your project.
With so many moving parts, we like to keep the purchasing end simple. Many design firms will bill separately for the product, shipping to the warehouse, warehousing time and delivery. In our experience, we have found that this method amounts to much more paperwork and unexpected billing for our clients. Our quoted prices work out to be just under retail cost—so when we are purchasing directly from a trusted vendor you will receive only one bill for furnishings that covers shipping, warehousing and delivery.
This depends on the client. If a client can make a decision rather quickly, then we will try to fit at least 25% of vintage pieces into the design. Many pieces are purchased at online auction and these pieces can move quickly.
Yes—if you choose full service design we are selecting custom or semi-custom items that have been specified through our trusted vendors. It’s in our client’s best interest to purchase through us to ensure items are ordered correctly and timelines are met. We may also be simultaneously communicating with the trades regarding what is required in working with those products. Purchasing through us means that goods are insured as they are delivered directly to our warehouse, where they are inspected and delivered at one time (ideally) for the full reveal. All of this protects your investment should there be any damages…and dealing with damages is a part of this business!
Yes! We have many clients with second and third homes that require long distance travel.
