Interior Designer FAQs

If you are building from the ground up, the ideal time to bring on an interior design firm is at the same time you hire your architect. This early collaboration allows us to design intentionally from the inside out, ensuring every detail — from space planning and lighting to material selections and millwork — aligns seamlessly with the architectural vision.

If you are planning a remodel in your existing home, we recommend engaging your designer as early as possible. Thoughtful design takes time, and accurate construction bids from general contractors depend on having complete and detailed design plans in place. Early involvement helps streamline decisions, prevent costly revisions, and ensure your home feels cohesive, purposeful, and beautifully executed.

We maintain a list of trusted general contractors we’ve worked with and are happy to recommend to our clients. Ultimately, the right fit depends on your comfort level and project scope, but we can guide you through the interview and selection process once our design services are engaged. Our goal is to ensure a seamless, collaborative experience from start to finish.

Our fee structure depends on the size and scope of each project, whether furnishings, renovation, or new build. During our discovery call, we will discuss your goals and outline our process. After the in-home consultation, we provide a flat fee proposal tailored to your project, with project management billed at a monthly retainer. Unlike many firms, we do not bill hourly, which ensures clarity, transparency, and confidence in your total investment from the start.
