Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect on my first appointment?
During your initial visit, we’ll start with a brief walk-through of your home, giving us a feel for your unique style and architectural details to inspire a personalized design plan. Next, we’ll sit down together to explore design ideas, discuss your budget, and align our vision with your goals. Once we have an outline, we’ll go over the priorities for each space and dive deeper into your first project. To wrap up, we’ll schedule our follow-up appointment, where you’ll see the finalized design and curated furnishing selections for your home.
How do I determine a budget for my project?
We offer a range of options from good, better, and best, all the way to luxury brands—making it easy to find the perfect match for most budgets.

How do you charge for your services?
Much like a retail business, our fees are built into the product purchases but with a much greater level of service. Additionally, our design plan assures your selections fit in your room saving you time and costly mistakes. With us, you’re not just getting products; you’re investing in a tailored design plan that brings your vision to life!
What if I order something and I don’t like it after it comes in?
Our design professionals have the experience, training, and creativity to take your vision and reflect that into your home. Our design appointment process ensures that each customer will love their project since THEY are part of the design process! Your decorator will narrow down the best design solutions for you based on your style and budget and then YOU choose your favorites. The end result will be a space that truly reflects your personality once the project is completed. We enjoy customizing each project based on your particular style. Given our vast range of suppliers and the products they offer we do order products specifically for each customer and cannot carry all of our products in stock. In the rare occasion that a product is not met with satisfaction defective items will be replaced at no cost to you while exchanges may be possible with restocking fees. Custom products are not returnable.
What will it cost to decorate my home?
Your budget is determined by the furnishings needed for your room. Many people think that working with an interior decorator is expensive. However, it can actually save you costly mistakes. Our initial design consultation is always complimentary. Since we work with a wide variety of suppliers we can help you determine a budget range that is comfortable for you based on your needs. From there all of our selections for your project are kept within that range.
