Design Consultation & Advisory
Expert interior design guidance for homeowners who already have a direction and want a professional perspective before moving forward.
Designed for homeowners managing their own project, this service provides an experienced second set of eyes to review and refine decisions already underway.
We consider your project as a whole—reviewing plans, inspiration, existing selections, materials, furnishings, and areas of uncertainty. We identify what is working, what may need reconsideration, and where thoughtful adjustments could create a more cohesive result.
When a selection or design decision could be improved, we may recommend an alternative direction or provide one targeted option for consideration.
This is an advisory service focused on refining an existing plan rather than developing a new design concept from the ground up. The consultation is offered as a one-time design review for a fixed fee. Additional design options, sourcing, or implementation support are available at our hourly rate.

the process
01 | Discover
Every project begins with a conversation. We learn about your home, your lifestyle, your priorities, and what you hope to achieve. This helps us understand not only what you need, but how you want your home to feel.
02 | Define
Following an initial walkthrough, we establish the project scope, design priorities, estimated timeline, and investment so there is clarity around the path forward before design begins.
03 | Design
This is where the vision takes shape. We develop a cohesive design direction, considering everything from layouts, architectural details, materials, and finishes to lighting, furnishings, textiles, and custom pieces.
04 | Refine
We present the design and work collaboratively with you to refine the details. Your feedback is an important part of the process, allowing us to make thoughtful adjustments while maintaining the integrity of the overall vision.
05 | Implement
Once the design is approved, we coordinate with contractors, trades, vendors, and workrooms to bring the vision to life. We oversee design-related details, procurement, and implementation while keeping the original design intent at the center of the process.
06 | Install & Style
The final layer brings everything together. Furnishings are installed, art and accessories are placed, and the finishing details are considered so your home feels complete, personal, and ready to be lived in.
