Question 1

​What are your design fees?

Accepted Answer

After our initial consultation, we will prepare a proposal outlining the estimated design fees for your project. Our fees are a fixed number based upon an agreed upon scope and number of edits.

Question 2

When should I contact you about my project?

Accepted Answer

There is a wait list to begin new projects, so it’s a great idea to reach out as soon as possible.  As we act as project manager, we are often the first brought onto a project - ahead of builders and architects.

Question 3

Where do you work?

Accepted Answer

We work primarily in Philadelphia, the Main Line, Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We are open to travel for the right project!

Question 4

How do you work with contractors and tradespeople?

Accepted Answer

We are your construction liaison coordinating all details and communication. Depending on the scope of your project, we will bring in our preferred GC to bid your job. If needed, we will bring in one other trusted GC to submit a competing bid.  Our relationship with our primary GC enables us to function like a design-build with seamless communication and problem solving.

Question 5

Do you do Project Management?

Accepted Answer

Project management is an integral part of full-service interior design.  This means everything from inspecting every little piece of hardware for flaws to site visits during construction to ensure the design is executed as intended.

Question 6

Will you pick paint colors, choose window treatments, finish a room with select furniture, art, accessories, etc? Do you do room styling or ‘finishing’ of mostly decorated spaces?

Accepted Answer

We currently only offer full service design where we are able to space plan, conceptualize and finish a room in a holistic way. Our design process works best when we can execute a full room concept for you, rather than supplying you with a la carte design suggestions. That being said, many clients hire us who have half-finished rooms!

Question 7

How involved will I have to be in the design process?

Accepted Answer

We do the heavy lifting in this process and we have limited, focused meetings with clients. Each of these takes around 1 ½ to 2 hours.  We may be in touch as needed with emails and the occasional quick zoom as well, but in general the problem solving is on us - not you!

Question 8

What if I don’t know what my style is?

Accepted Answer

We take great pride in teasing inspiration out of the most tentative client! With a series of focused meetings, we will focus in on your likes and dislikes and nurture that inspiration into a full blown concept.  We identify as intuitive designers and tune into your personality, using our knowledge and resources to bring out the very best, most stylish version of you!

Question 9

Can I use any of my existing furnishings?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to incorporate, reupholster, or refinish good quality existing furniture, as it makes sense within the design goals you outline for us.

Question 10

What happens during an initial in-home consultation?

Accepted Answer

During the initial consultation, we walk you through our process and help you understand our services, background and philosophy as a design firm.  This meeting gives us a chance to view your home, hear about your goals, timeline and budget, and for both parties to determine if we are a good fit for each other.

Question 11

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer
