Process
We believe in a process that’s as thoughtful and tailored as the spaces we design. From our first conversation to the final styling detail, every step is considered, collaborative, and led with care. Here’s how we guide you from concept to completion:
01
INITIAL INQUIRY & DISCOVERY
Once we receive your inquiry—either through our contact form or by email—we begin with a complimentary introductory Zoom consultation. This is a chance to connect, discuss your goals, project scope, timeline, and investment expectations, and for us to walk you through how we work. If we’re aligned in approach and vision, we’ll move forward with a paid consultation or proceed directly to onboarding.
02
CONSULTATION & PROJECT KICKOFF
This phase begins with an on-site or virtual design consultation. We walk through your space or review architectural plans to better understand your lifestyle, vision, and priorities. From there, we provide a proposal for design services and issue a retainer to reserve your place in our calendar. With a signed agreement and deposit in place, your project is officially underway.
03
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
We begin with either a site measure or coordination with your architect or build team to align on construction details. Mood boards and initial concepts are presented to establish the creative direction. We then move into selections—finishes, fixtures, and custom-designed cabinetry—accompanied by detailed floor plans, elevations, and 2D or 3D renderings. Throughout this phase, we remain in close communication with your builder or contractor to ensure all details are integrated seamlessly.
04
FURNISHINGS & SPECIFICATIONS
With the architectural vision in place, we begin curating and designing the layers that bring the home to life—furnishings, lighting, window treatments, art, rugs, and accessories. We also design custom pieces tailored to your space. Once the full furnishings plan and procurement budget are presented, we review selections together and make refinements before moving to final approval.
05
PROCUREMENT & PROJECT OVERSIGHT
We handle all orders, logistics, and vendor coordination—ensuring each piece arrives on time and in perfect condition. Items are received and inspected at our receiving warehouse. During the construction phase, we remain actively involved, coordinating with trades, conducting site visits, and addressing any challenges to keep the project aligned with the design intent.
06
INSTALLATION & STYLING
Once the home is ready, our team manages the full-service installation. Every detail—from furniture placement to art installation and final styling—is handled with care. We layer in the finishing touches to ensure the home feels cohesive, elevated, and complete. Then comes the best part: your design reveal and walkthrough.
07
PROJECT CLOSEOUT
As we wrap, we provide care instructions, warranty documentation, and a final invoice review. With your permission, we may also coordinate professional photography to document the space. We remain available for future phases, seasonal refreshes, or simply to answer questions as you settle into your new space.
That’s where we come in - translating your vision into something beautiful, functional, and entirely livable. You’ll feel guided, supported, and completely seen.
