Why a 1:1 Consultation?This working appointment is a heavy-duty brainstorming session to help define the details of your vision of what you want your home to be and to make a plan to implement that vision with concrete steps and clear goals. We know it can sometimes feel “scary” and overwhelming when you’re trying to do it all yourself but the idea of working with the Designer is to focus in on what makes YOU feel happy in your home and then to have some fun creating that Happy Space together!
-
How does a consultation work?In-person or virtually, the Designer meets with you to review your “wish list” for all the items you hope to accomplish on your project. Discuss your likes and dislikes to get a better idea of your style and most importantly how you like to live in your spaces. Form + Function! Review and tweak your room's furniture placement. Discuss updates to your rooms. Determine what furnishings to keep and what to let go of. Discuss budget. Discuss lighting. Review purchases you are considering. Determine the best window treatments for your room. Prioritize your design to-do list to keep you on task and over the finish line!
-
How much can I accomplish in a consultation?The amount of homework you are willing to do beforehand will make all the difference! The more information you can share with the Designer (photos of the current space(s), floor plans, photo inspiration, Pinterest boards, ideas, hopes, dreams, wishes, and QUESTIONS), the better the Designer will be able to understand, visualize and help you create the space you are dreaming of.
-
How should I prepare for my consultation?Here are a few suggestions to consider but remember the more, the better. AHEAD OF TIME: Write out a list of all the questions you’d like to get answered. Share any website links you’d like to share with the Designer Send photos of the space(s), photo boards, or inspiration, Pinterest boards, pieces of furniture or decor you have your eye on (or already own), mood board images, swatches of materials – anything you like! Anything and everything that will help the Designer to understand your vision for your home.

Will I be able to discuss my needs with the Designer before I book a consultation?Yes, we offer a complimentary 20-minute “Discovery Call” for this purpose. Once your consultation has been booked, you will have the opportunity to fill out a questionnaire to send to the Designer with further information such as project location, style preferences, budget details, topics, and rooms for discussion. You will also be able to upload files to review during the consultation (presentations, room photos, images, floor plans, etc).
