Q
Frequently Asked Questions
Every project begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your space, requirements, budget and overall direction. From there, we develop a tailored scope of work and guide you through each stage of the design process, from concept through to final selections and installation.
How does the design process work?
Budgets vary depending on the size, scope and level of detail involved. We’ll discuss your investment early in the process and recommend an approach that is realistic for both your space and your priorities.
How much should I budget for my project?
Timelines depend on the scope of the project. Smaller styling projects may take several weeks, while renovations and full-home projects can take a number of months. A more detailed timeline will be provided once the scope has been confirmed.
How long does an interior design project take?
Absolutely. We’re happy to incorporate existing furniture, artwork and sentimental pieces where they work within the overall design. Not everything needs to be new for a space to feel considered and cohesive.
Can you work with furniture or pieces I already own?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can collaborate with your existing builder or trades, or work alongside trusted professionals throughout the design process. Our level of involvement will be outlined clearly before the project begins.
Do you work with builders and other trades?
If this feels aligned, let's talk.
