-
Full-Service Design for complete rooms, residences, and large-scale transformations, executed with diligence and efficiency from concept to installation.
-
Hourly Design Consultations for clients seeking incisive, high-level guidance – whether to refine a vision or unlock a home’s potential.

Full-Service Design
Comprehensive design for complete rooms, residences, renovations, and large-scale transformations. From concept to installation, each detail is managed with diligence, transparency, and efficiency.
Full-service projects typically begin at $50,000, depending on scope. This level of investment allows for the depth of design, customization and execution that defines our work.
This service is best suited for clients seeking a trusted lead advisor and turnkey experience.
Hourly Design Consultations
Engage in focused collaboration with our team through an Hourly Design Consultation. This service provides flexibility when your needs suggest a more discrete project that does not require full-service design.
Consultations are offered at our studio rate of $525/hour with no minimum. They can include (but are not limited to) our expert advice on:
-
Furniture layouts
- Interior finishes such as paint, wallpaper or flooring
-
Identifying artists, sourcing new art, and reframing or hanging existing pieces
-
Developing project concepts, budgets, and timelines
-
Working with architects and builders
-
Identifying compelling properties to buy and renovate
-
Conservation and resiliency projects (see more: Studio N/A)
our process
From discovery to wonder
While the range of our projects is colorful and broad, our approach is consistent. We’ll start with an introductory call to learn about your project, goals, style, and lifestyle.
The steps below describe our Full-Service Design process. Hourly Design Consultations take a simpler path and start with our inquiry form.
01 ‣ IN-PERSON SITE VISIT AND CONVERSATION WITH NICOLE
After our intro call, Nicole, along with a team member, will visit your space to discuss your goals and brainstorm initial ideas. This visit typically lasts 1-2 hours and helps us define the scope of work. We may also take photos and measurements to ensure we have all the details needed for the next steps.
03 ‣ CONCEPTUAL AND DETAILED DESIGN AND SOURCING
We officially kick off the work, and when the magic starts to happen! We will finalize measurements and craft a design plan tailored to your space and style. Plans typically include mood boards, layouts, swatches / samples, and material and furnishings selections. The result is a cohesive, functional plan that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
02 ‣ SCOPE OF WORK, BUDGET AND CONTRACT
A less colorful (but crucial) part – the necessary paperwork. We’ll outline a scope of work, including a projected timeline and budget (covering design, materials, and contractor costs), as well as deliverables, included revisions, and process expectations.
04 ‣ DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION
Once your design is approved, we coordinate and manage all aspects of the project's execution. This includes working with contractors, ordering materials and furnishings, managing orders, and keeping everything on track to bring the vision to life. We take care of the details so that you can focus on enjoying the transformation.
