Our Design Process and Pricing
Nobody enjoys asking what something costs, and too many design studios make you ask three times. So here is how we work and how we charge, laid out before you call. You'll know the shape of the investment early, you'll see the full plan before anything is ordered, and there will be no line item you weren't expecting.
01 Exploratory Call
A complimentary fifteen-minute conversation to get acquainted. We'll ask about your space, your goals, your budget range, and your timeline, and you can ask us anything you want. The point is to find out whether we're the right studio for your project before either of us commits to anything.
02 Design Consultation
We sit down properly and go room by room through your style, your priorities, and what the budget needs to cover. This is where a design direction takes shape, rooted in how you actually use the house rather than how a room photographs. You leave with a clear sense of scope and what it will take to get there.
03 In-Home Visit
We come to you. Light, scale, flow, ceiling heights, sightlines, and the awkward corner nobody mentions on the phone are all things a photo will not tell us. Every recommendation that follows is grounded in the room as it actually is, measured and seen in person.
04 Design Presentation
We bring the whole plan to you before a single piece is ordered. Mood boards, material samples, furniture layouts, finish selections, and the full investment, presented together so you can see how it holds up as a scheme. We refine it with you until it's right. Nothing gets purchased until you've approved what you're looking at.
05 Installation and Reveal
We order, track, receive, and inspect everything, then coordinate delivery and install it in one go. You walk into a finished room with no boxes, no assembly instructions, and no half-finished corner waiting on a back-ordered chair. This is the part clients tell us they'd pay for on its own.
How Our Pricing Is Structured
Full-service projects are quoted as a design fee based on the scope and the number of rooms, presented in writing before the work begins. À la carte services are priced individually, so a paint consultation or a furniture plan is a known amount rather than an open meter. Furnishings and materials are separate from the design fee, and you see those costs itemized at presentation.
What Shapes the Investment
Scope is the largest factor, meaning how many rooms and whether construction is involved. A single room styled is a different project from a whole-house new build with a builder's schedule attached. Timeline matters too, since compressed deadlines and custom lead times both add cost. We'll give you a realistic range on the first call rather than after the third meeting.
What You Get for the Fee
Access to trade pricing and brands not sold direct to the public, a designer's time and judgment, and someone else managing the sourcing, the lead times, the freight claims, and the delivery windows. The design fee buys the plan. It also buys the roughly one hundred small decisions and phone calls that sit between a plan and a finished room.
Budget Conversations Are Not Awkward Here
Tell us the number early. A designer working with a real figure will get you far more than one guessing at it, and we would rather design something you can actually build than present a scheme you have to dismantle. There is no budget too small to have an honest conversation about.
Start With Fifteen Minutes
No cost, no obligation, and no pressure at the end of it. Bring your questions about scope and cost, and we'll answer them plainly.
