Interior designers typically undergo formal education and training, equipped to address both the aesthetic and functional aspects of interior spaces, often collaborating with architects and contractors on structural changes, space planning, and lighting design. They possess a deep understanding of design principles, materials, and building systems, ensuring cohesive and functional spaces. On the other hand, interior decorators primarily focus on enhancing aesthetics by selecting furniture, accessories, colors, and fabrics, often without making structural alterations. While both professions contribute to creating beautiful interiors, interior designers have a broader skill set and are involved in the entire design process, while decorators specialize in styling and decor selection.

At our interior design firm, we pride ourselves on our versatility and adaptability, not confining ourselves to one particular design style.

By completing detailed drawings and specifications upfront, we provide clarity and consistency, enabling you to obtain accurate bids from multiple contractors. This ensures transparency and allows you to make informed decisions that align with your budget and project goals.
We recognize that navigating the construction phase of a project can be overwhelming, especially for clients with busy schedules or those seeking additional support and expertise. That's why we offer construction administration services to alleviate the stress and ensure the smooth execution of your project. We will visit the jobsite regularly during construction to help answer any questions and provide written communication of items discussed. Please contact us for additional fees and hourly rates to provide this often over-looked service.
We understand the importance of transparency and clarity when it comes to project costs. That's why we offer free estimates to our clients, providing two convenient options to suit their preferences. For those who wish to receive a preliminary estimate from the comfort of their own home, we offer the option to send us dimensions and pictures via email. This allows us to provide an initial assessment based on the information provided. Additionally, we offer a complimentary one-hour meeting at your site to discuss your project requirements and goals. During this meeting, we focus on understanding your needs and vision while also determining if we are the right fit for your project. While we do not offer free design ideas during this meeting, it serves as an opportunity to discuss your project in detail and create a plan of action for our design services. This personalized approach ensures that we can provide you with a more accurate and detailed estimate, tailored to your specific project needs.
As part of our comprehensive approach, we offer a range of services including construction documents, furniture plans, interior elevations, concept boards, finish schedules, 3D renderings, and sketches. However, we understand that not every project requires the same level of documentation. That's why we take the time to assess the unique requirements of each project during the design phase. By carefully evaluating which items are essential for achieving the desired outcome, we aim to optimize efficiency and cost-effectiveness for our clients. If certain documentation can be minimized or omitted without compromising the integrity of the design, we are transparent in our recommendations to save the client money while still achieving their design objectives. For small projects we like to limit documentation to floor plans and a clickable concept board linking to products so you are able to review them straight from the manufacturers website.
