FULL SERVICE DESIGN

We specialize in full-service design that is geared towards transforming a space in its entirety. Whether a new build, renovation, or full cosmetic update, these projects are brought to life from conceptual design to construction through final installation and decor. Full-service design is ideal for large-scale projects that include construction. We offer a transparent client-oriented design process that allows our cohesive vision to come to life and make your house a home. 

OUR PROCESS

  • We love to get to know you and your space!

    This is a perfect time to kick off the project with an initial consultation, site visit to take measurements, photos and firm up the scope of the project.

    From here, we review and finalize the contract with you, and ensure clarity around the financial commitment. This firms up the foundation of the project and gives clear go-forward direction for all parties.

  • Easily our most favorite phase in the design process, the design plans are revealed which include floor plans, 3D renderings, inspirational imagery, specific color palette and all final finishes for your space. All of the design details are discussed and fine-tuned during this phase.

    We also discuss financial estimates and review next steps in purchase agreements and deposits.

  • There are countless design decisions that need to be made during a remodel or new build from flooring to lighting and everything in between! We streamline this process for you so you're able to maximize both value and beauty in your home. We handle project management, procurement, tracking + communication updates for you over the course of your project. We're here for you every step of the way!

    Additionally, in this phase construction typically begins and we'll partner closely with the contractor to make sure every detail is ironed out.

  • In the final phase of your project, we bring the conceptual design plans to life!

    Once construction is complete and everything from furniture to accessories is installed, it is time for you to enjoy your home!

FURNISHINGS & DECOR

We offer furnishings and decor services for those interested in refreshing your home without altering the structure. This can be anything from updating light fixtures to furniture refreshment or wall coverings, and more! This service is ideal for projects that will not require a general contractor. 

OUR PROCESS

  • Just as we would in a full-service design project, we love to get to know you and your space! This is a perfect time kick off the project with an initial consultation, site visit (either virtually or in-person depending on proximity), photos, and firm up the scope of work whether that is updating lighting, adding wallpaper or decor, or furniture refreshing.

    Remember, furnishings and decor services are for those clients not structurally altering their home!

  • The concept design plans are presented and reviewed to our clients and include color palettes, floor plan layouts, inspirational imagery, and any furnishing or decor needs requested and reviewed during the project kickoff.

    We also discuss financial estimates, review next steps in purchase agreements and deposits during this phase.

  • Once design plans are firm, this step is all about procurement of goods for your space. We handle this from start to finish for you from ordering to tracking and are communicative every step of the way.

  • In the final phase, we bring the conceptual design plans to life through installation of furniture, styling and the final presentation!

DESIGN SESSIONS

A design session includes a one-hour design intensive virtually or in-person at our client's home. Our design session clients receive access to our expertise, samples, and material library as needed & a customized design plan for your space. 

We'll review space planning, material selections, design schemes, and more!
