FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For initial consultations, I charge a minimum fee of $300. This includes a one-hour site visit to discuss the scope of work and initial ideas for your home. Following the initial consultation, my hourly rate is $200. To begin the design process, I typically request a retainer of $1,000-$2,500, depending on the project's scope. This retainer secures the necessary resources to create initial design concepts and schemes for our review. After we review the initial design concepts, we can proceed on an hourly basis or set up another retainer, allowing us to effectively manage your budget.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process begins with a complimentary call to discuss the high-level scope of work, budget, and other essential details. Following this, we will schedule an in-person consultation at your site to delve deeper into the scope, initial design ideas, and a plan of action moving forward. Once a contract is signed, I will begin developing design concepts for your review. After finalizing the design concepts and ensuring you absolutely love them, we will move into the proposal and estimate phase. Once you have approved everything and provided a deposit, orders will be placed, subcontractors will be coordinated, and I will manage and expedite all orders to alleviate any potential hiccups along the way. Then comes the most exciting part: install day! Depending on the scope of work, our approach may vary, but typically, we ask you to step out for the day while our team installs all your beautiful new furniture, art, and accessories. When you return, you’ll walk into a beautifully transformed space!
