Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hire an interior designer?

Interior Designers not only have a keen eye for detail, knowing what works and what doesn’t work together, but they are also experienced trouble shooters. Every design project will face some type of challenges, whether it be delays in production, items lost in transport, items damaged during transport… the list goes on. At the same time, interior designers usually have far more resources than you would have in terms of vendors, suppliers, artisans and trade. This means an interior designer will not only create a beautiful, cohesive space, where every single item is intentional, but also ensure a smooth and headache free process for you, by handling issues that will arise along the way.

What if I see something online that looks similar to what you specified for less money? Can I buy that myself?

Imagine baking a cake and having someone else trying to add ingredients at the last minute or frosting it in a style that isn't in keeping with the original intent. The cake won't be as the baker, or in this case the interior designer intended. It's tempting to do your own shopping to save money, but in the end, we find that it costs our client in scale and quality mistakes which means they end up buying items twice and experiencing frustration from the extra costs. If you prefer to do your own purchasing, we may not be the right designer for you as we offer full interior design services.

What's the reason for bringing in an interior designer early in the construction or design process?

Building or planning a house or commercial project without a designer is like making a movie without a director. With a designer on board, you will have a designer to collaborate with on all the decisions, someone who knows exactly how all of the pieces in your very large project puzzle impacts the next, and someone who can, and will, take all those pieces and create a space that is breathtaking in every way.

Will you work with my existing contractor?

Absolutely! We’re always looking to build our professional network.
