About

Our goal is to inspire you! To help you create the space of your dreams — a place that you love to be in, one that is relaxing or bold and beautifully functional, and one that inspires you to be you. We work with your vision, refining your style and needs, until we design a look you love. We focus on delivering that look at a price point that is within your budget and oftentimes at lower cost than the inspiration photos and looks you've imagined. We do this by sourcing from a very wide spectrum of furniture/furnishings sites and venues, and by curating pieces especially for you. We charge by the hour or a flat fee based on the scope of work. We aim to create and bring your vision to life, while focusing on saving you time and money. We'd love to help you, be it just in some ideas for your design, or for getting your entire space created! Our first consultation is free.

This is the first time we have used an interior designer. she helped us design, living room, sunroom, and the basement. She was extremely professional, punctual and valued our time. The project on the whole was based on collaboration. She listened to what we wanted and helped design our dream room and brought it to life with rendering. The most important aspect for us was that she helped us stay on budget. To people who are looking for an interior designer I would choose Chris in a heartbeat. I’m already planning to use her next year to design my bedrooms. Thank you Chris for making our house into a home.

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Color palette / paint selection • Furniture selection • Lighting selection • Accessories / art selection • Contemporary • Traditional • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We do not charge commissions of the furnishings we provide or any part of our pricing. We operate on an hourly rate basis, and are able to work within your overall range (or will let you know we can't!). We also work on a flat fee basis, if we learn enough about your desires. Overall, you will find our fees to be much more affordable than many interior designers, especially those who work on commissions.
