Their homes come in every size – from condos to mansions, but they all have that same-shared goal.
Design & Consultation
What exactly is full service interior design?
Traditionally, full service Interior Design is a true turn key experience. Our goal is to complete an entire room, groups of rooms or an entire home in a single installation. Although many of our clients do their projects in phases, our full service design does not lend itself to selling individual furnishings or accessories.
Full service design is about letting our team handle all the details from research, selection, purchasing and other logistics. The investment for this service is a flat design fee in conjunction with a furnishings budget.
I’ve never worked with an interior designer – how does this work?
Not a problem! This is easier than you may think. We schedule a phone call to discuss your project – what you want to accomplish, the function of the rooms, your style preferences, timetables, etc. If we agree that we can help, we will put you on the schedule for an appointment to visit your location. At the conclusion of that meeting we both have a clear idea how we will implement a plan.
Can I see samples or previous projects before making a decision?
Absolutely! We have a portfolio of completed projects showcasing our work across different styles and spaces. You can view them on our website or request a personalized presentation during your consultation.
Do you offer custom interior designs based on my preferences?
Yes, we do! Every design we create is tailored to your style, needs, and budget. We take time to understand your vision, suggest ideas, and ensure the final design reflects your personality and functional requirements.
Many of the services we offer, from upholstery to bedding to drapery, is customised to give your home the uniqueness it deserves.
What if I decide I don’t want everything custom?
That is absolutely okay! We work with many clients who prefer to use retail items from stores. Just a little insider’s tip: custom doesn’t necessarily mean more expensive. Don’t forget, the beautiful high-end stores mark up their items too! Regardless of what route you go, we will help you accomplish the look and feel you want.
How long does the design process take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A basic design plan can take a few days, while more detailed and customized projects may take a few weeks. During our consultation, we’ll give you a clear estimate based on your specific requirements.
Do you have a particular style?
Our style is about making your space functional, healthy and comfortable to suit your lifestyle – whether casual or formal, we design rooms that reflect your individual style and are as low maintenance as possible. But, we love to design spaces infused with color and encourage all of our clients to add color into their lives as it uplifts our mood.
Pricing & Payments
How is the cost of an interior design project determined?
The cost depends on several factors, including the size of the space, the complexity of the design, the materials used, and the level of customization. After an initial consultation, we provide a detailed quotation tailored to your specific needs and budget.
Do you offer payment plans or financing options?
Yes, we understand that interior design projects can be a big investment. We offer flexible payment plans to make it easier for you to bring your vision to life. Let’s discuss available options during your consultation.
Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
No, we believe in transparency. Our pricing includes everything outlined in the proposal, and we communicate any additional costs upfront if changes are requested during the project. No surprises—just quality work!
Project Execution & Timelines
How long does a typical interior design project take?
The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. A simple makeover might take a few weeks, while a full-scale interior transformation can take several months. After our initial consultation, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific project.
Because each project is different – ranging from a simple consultation to a whole house renovation – obviously the time it takes will vary. We can give you an estimated completion time when we begin your project and adjust along the way as circumstances dictate. If you have an event or deadline, we address that at the very beginning.
Do you handle sourcing materials and furnishings?
Yes, we take care of everything! From high-quality materials to stylish furnishings, we source, procure, and ensure that all elements align with your design vision and budget. This saves you time and guarantees a seamless process from start to finish. That does not mean that we will not be willing to work with materials and furnishings that you have procured to your taste yourself.
Can I use my existing furnishings?
Of course! We encourage you to hold on to treasured pieces and will work with you to incorporate these items within your new decor. We have a flexible approach to design that honors and respects our clients’ existing pieces and encourage all our clients to repurpose as much as possible as it is a more sustainable approach to design.
What happens if there is a delay in the project timeline?
We always strive to complete projects on schedule, but sometimes unexpected factors like material shortages or external approvals can cause delays. If that happens, we’ll keep you informed and adjust the plan accordingly while ensuring the quality of work isn’t compromised.
What do your services cost?
After we assess your needs together, we will provide you options that best suit your individual project requirements in all phases of service that we offer. Since each quote is custom it is difficult to tell you without meeting, however, you can start with our services page to get an idea.
Will I recover the investment I put into redesigning my interior?
Your home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. A well decorated home enhances that investment. If at some point you choose to sell your home, statistics show that a well decorated home will sell faster and command a higher price, especially one that practices Feng Shui principles. We frequently receive calls from clients saying their home sold in record time despite others in their area sitting on the market!
Do you offer free consultations?
As much as we wish every service could be complimentary (free mani/pedi anyone?!) we have to charge a fee for initial consultations due to the amount of time and energy put into the site visit and proposals we put forth. Even if you don’t continue to work with us after the consultation, most clients have thanked us regardless. The ideas presented during our initial consultation save you in terms of your time going forward, and help you by avoiding costly mistakes had you gone without seeking advice from a professional. (Please note if you cancel your consultation without a 24 hour notice, a cancellation fee will apply)
Maintenance & After-Service Support
Do you offer maintenance services after project completion?
Yes, we do! We provide after-service support to ensure your interiors stay in excellent condition. Whether it’s minor touch-ups, repairs, or routine maintenance, we’re available to help keep your space looking its best.
What should I do if I need modifications after installation?
If you’d like to make changes after the project is completed, simply reach out to us. We’ll assess the modifications and provide the best solutions based on feasibility, cost, and design compatibility.
How do I take care of the interior finishes to maintain their quality?
Proper maintenance depends on the type of finish. For instance:
- Wall panels & cladding: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals.
- Furniture: Dust regularly and use mild cleaning solutions.
- Floor treatments: Follow recommended cleaning methods based on the material type (e.g., wooden floors require polishing, while tiles need regular mopping).
We also provide tailored care guidelines after project completion to help you maintain your interior’s beauty and durability.
