Interior Design FAQs.

Design looks simple on TV, but there are a lot of unseen details and potential pitfalls we manage carefully behind the scenes. With years of hands-on experience, Hannah brings a trained eye to every project to prevent costly errors, keep spending on track, and keep the whole process moving as smoothly as possible from start to

Yes! We have a point of view as a studio, but we take real pride in executing your aesthetic and bringing your vision to life. We start every project with a detailed intake questionnaire that dives into your preferences, values, and motivations, and use it as our guidepost throughout.
-
The first step in our process is a detailed questionnaire, including your Pinterest boards, personal style, and even where you love to travel, so we really get to know you. We build in up to three rounds of edits before your final concept, so you're always approving things you love. Our presentations are also interactive, with room for open conversation and adjustments. If anything feels off, just tell us, we want to get it right for you.
-
Timelines depend on scope of work, selected products and materials, construction schedules, and a few things we can't always predict, like lead times, weather, or vendor availability. We'll share a realistic estimate once the design phase is complete.
-
Absolutely. We love collaborating with architects, engineers, and builders and have alist of trusted partners we can share with you when the time is right! Whether your project is a new build, a gut renovation, a furnishings refresh, or somewhere in between. We're happiest when we're brought in as early in the process as possible.

We aim to be fully transparent so you're comfortable with your investment. Full-Service
Design is a flat fee that is agreed upon at the contract phase and the Project Management + Admin in a retainer fee that is billed monthly and agreed upon before the service starts. Product costs (which vary), and the construction budget you set with your build team, plus occasional out-of-our-control costs like storage, shipping, or freight can be variable, but everything is approved before purchased!
-
We prefer to handle procurement to ensure a seamless experience. If we don't handle the ordering and purchasing, we're not able to take responsibility for returns or styling of those particular items. How payments are made can be discussed based on what you're most comfortable with!
-
Yes, we document progress throughout for the design work itself, and final installation photos may be used for our portfolio. We never publish identifying details like your name or address without your written consent first.
-
We love keeping things simple and streamlined! We schedule calls, design presentations, and site visits in advance, and are reachable by email Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. On site-visit days, please allow 24 to 48 hours for a non-urgent reply.
