The ideal time to hire an interior designer is before architectural plans are finalized or construction begins. Early involvement allows us to collaborate with your architect and builder, review floor plans, develop interior architectural details, and coordinate cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, finishes, and materials before critical decisions are made.

Bringing your interior designer onto the project early often leads to a more cohesive design, a smoother construction process, and helps reduce costly changes during construction. For renovations, involving a designer before demolition begins creates the greatest opportunity to improve both the design and the functionality of your home.

Whether you're building a custom home, planning a major renovation, or furnishing an existing residence, early collaboration provides the greatest flexibility and the best overall outcome.

Every project is unique, so we tailor our services and pricing to the scope, complexity, and level of involvement required.

Most projects are offered on a fixed design fee, providing clients with clear expectations and a defined scope of work from the beginning. Additional services outside the original scope are billed hourly when needed. For smaller projects or homeowners seeking professional guidance before committing to full-service design, Design Advisory consultations are also available.

Following an initial consultation, we'll recommend the service that best fits your project and provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope, fees, and deliverables before any work begins.

Our goal is to provide transparent pricing and a clearly defined design process, allowing homeowners to move forward with confidence and without unexpected surprises.
