Frequently Asked Questions

  • I work with a wide range of budgets, and my goal is always to help you make the most of yours. While there are some realistic minimums when it comes to quality furnishings and materials, I’ll guide you on where it makes sense to invest and where we can save. Most of my clients take a “high/low” approach—mixing splurge-worthy pieces with more accessible finds—and we can absolutely phase purchases over time to keep things feeling intentional and aligned with your comfort level.

  • Timelines can vary depending on the scope of your project, how quickly decisions are made, and the availability of furnishings or materials. On average, a room design can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks from start to finish. That said, I always outline your specific timeline at the beginning of our work together so you know what to expect. If we’re doing things in phases or working around custom orders, we’ll build in that flexibility while keeping everything on track and moving forward with intention.

  • You're never required to purchase everything in your design. My role is to curate a space that reflects your vision, lifestyle, and budget—and then provide you with links to shop everything at your own pace. You can purchase all at once or in phases, depending on what feels right for you. Some clients swap a few items or wait on bigger investments, and that’s totally okay. I’m here to guide, not pressure. The final decisions are always yours.

  • We source from a wide variety of retailers to suit your style, budget, and project goals. If you have favorite vendors or go-to shops, we’re happy to work with those too! Whether you’re drawn to specific brands or open to discovering new options, we curate selections that feel intentional, aligned, and tailored to you.

  • Absolutely! I love incorporating pieces you already own—whether they’re meaningful, functional, or simply favorites. Part of the design process includes evaluating what you’d like to keep, and then building the space around those elements in a way that feels fresh and cohesive. Blending old with new often adds the most soul to a space.

  • Yes, absolutely. I often work with clients who are moving or planning ahead for a new space. As long as we have a floor plan, measurements, or listing photos, we can get started. Designing in advance helps you feel settled more quickly once you move in—and ensures you’re making intentional decisions from the start. We’ll tailor everything to your new home’s layout and style, even if you’re not physically there yet.

  • Yes! We include paint, wallpaper, and tile recommendations in all of our design packages. These selections are tailored to your style and space, and can be a great way to add depth and personality to your home.

    For flooring, countertops, and similar finishes, we’ll guide you on the type, tone, and material and provide visual references when needed. While we don’t source these items directly, you’ll be able to work with your local provider to bring those selections to life.

    When it comes to custom built-ins, we create the concept and design direction, but they’ll need to be executed by a skilled local contractor or carpenter who can customize them to your home’s dimensions and details.

  • There’s no limit! You’re welcome to book as many rooms as you’d like, and when you bundle three or more, you’ll automatically receive a multi-room discount.

    To keep the process smooth and stress-free, we typically design in phases—focusing on up to three rooms at a time. This helps you stay clear and confident in your choices without getting overwhelmed. You’ll continue working with the same designer throughout, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you—whether that’s all at once or spread out over time.

  • Our process is designed to keep things clear, collaborative, and easy. You’ll have access to our online design platform, where everything lives in one place—messages, design boards, feedback, and updates. It’s your home base for the entire project.

    You’ll receive regular email check-ins to keep you in the loop. You can reach out anytime with questions, thoughts, or inspiration—communication is always open and ongoing.

  • You’ll receive one full revision at no additional cost, just in case you’d like to make any larger adjustments. If you need further full revisions beyond that, they’re available for $100 each.

    That said, you’re welcome to request unlimited small tweaks—as long as they stay within the original design scope. We want you to feel confident and excited about your final space, and we’re here to support you through those finishing touches.
