Our Services
Your home should work for you - we design the walls inside and out to ensure it does. Yes, we love sourcing gorgeous bathroom fixtures - and we’ll quietly add extra blocking in the wall behind the towel rod, just in case your children decide to practice their chin-ups. Great design isn’t simply a gorgeous backdrop, it influences the flow of your daily life. We’ll conspire down to the last outlet how to make your next chapter both beautiful and easy.
Our Process
01
Consultation + Vision
A complimentary discovery call allows you to decide if we’re a match. From there, we begin with an on-site consultation and collaborate on a mood board to ground us and pull together all of the elements of your vision.
02
DESIGN Development
Our team sources furnishings, décor, hard and soft finishings, as well as decorative lighting, to create a 3D presentation and 2D floor plans to show you how it all comes together. Plans are drafted to make sure your vision comes to life.
03
Ordering + Procurement
Once you’ve signed off on the design, we begin purchasing and procuring all the elements needed. We closely manage aspect of the project, from ordering fixtures to meeting with artisans creating bespoke pieces.
04
Weekly Updates
We keep your fingers on the pulse of the project through standing updates every Friday. We order strategically to minimize costs while ensuring plenty of lead time, and keep you in the loop so you always know where things stand.
05
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This is where our background in construction shines: Paula meets with subcontractors to address every last detail - right down to the height of the light fixtures - and collaborates with them to resolve anything unexpected.
06
INSTALLATION + PHOTOS
When construction and design are complete, we schedule installation. Paula stays on site to assist movers in placing furnishings exactly as planned. (If you opt in to photos, she styles the space as well.) It’s now time to enjoy your new home!
FAQ
-
For a design that you’re over the moon with, you deserve to fully immerse yourself into the process with a professional who listens to your needs, then meets those needs. Thus, our design services begin at $3,000 with a $20,000 purchasing minimum with a full room scope, which allows us to provide you with our full attention and bring your vision into being. The purchasing minimum allows us to source exactly the items you require, often including commissioning local artisans to create one-of-a-kind pieces.
-
We happily look at your items on a case by case basis. We love layering newly purchased furniture with vintage or heirloom pieces, provided each piece adds to the project’s potential. We’re conscious of material consumption, and it’s not uncommon for us to use reclaimed or reupholstered materials, as long as it serves the vision for the project.
-
Our firm fully designs spaces with construction documents, spec books, and schedules; our clients are responsible for hiring their own builder, contractors, and/or architect. We will gladly recommend reputable professionals to you, just ask! We will conduct site visits and meet with contractors to make sure the design is being implemented as specified, and to answer questions about design intent. We set your contractors up for success and aim to make their jobs easier.
-
We value our clients’ experience above all, and have found that it is easier for clients to budget confidently when we work with a flat fee rather than hourly rates. Thus, at the outset of the project, we set a flat fee based on the scope of the work.
-
As you can imagine, this varies depending on the size of space and the types of finishes chosen. That said, a living room that is 18’x22’ with a 10’ ceiling and three to four 5x7’ windows would include furniture, decor, a chandelier, lamps, custom throw pillows, a rug, bespoke art, and custom drapery, and this would run between 30-45k to complete. This example estimate does not include design fees.
-
As with all rooms, this varies depending on size. An average-sized kitchen would be around 200 sqft with 10’ ceilings, and clients can anticipate spending between 50-75k to finish the space with custom cabinets, stone countertops, backsplash, pendant lighting, appliances, fixtures, and cabinet hardware. The budget can shift dramatically depending on the nature of the appliances and plumbing fixtures in particular - our firm helps direct clients and recommend product lines that are within your budget.
