Common Questions
Still looking for an answer to your question?
Who is this service best suited for?
This service is catered to the home decor enthusiast who is capable of taking our recommendations and executing them independently. Typically, this is a homeowner who has an eye for design, time on their hands and enjoys shopping for home decor but wants professional guidance or decision confirmation before executing.
How can i best prepare for my consultation?
For In Person: To make the most of your session we recommend walking through your priority spaces with your partner and writing down questions you have for each space. This includes a ton of verbal notation. We always recommend our clients come with a notebook and pen to take notes. Since there’s no follow up with this service and we don’t keep internal notes, you’ll need these to refer back to.
For Virtual: Additional homework will be required to send us the necessary documentation, photography of your space and your list of questions. Similarly, we recommend walking through your priority spaces with your partner and writing down questions you have for each space prior to completing your homework.
Will the consultation be specific to me and my home?
Absolutely! We like to arm you with information so each session will be specific to you woven with design principles. These design “rules” allow you to execute consistency across multiple rooms and understand how to bring everything together. Additionally, we take your questionnaire responses to learn more about you so when we dive in, it’s with the knowledge of who you are, what your lifestyle needs are and what you like.
How many rooms can we complete with our time together?
In Person: This session is high-level ideas with some specifics so we can typically move through a entire 2,500 sq.ft. home. If your home is larger, one floor might be more realistic.
Virtual: We’re able to hone in on 5-7 rooms at with a great level of detail.
You’re welcome to book as many sessions as you need to accomplish your home goals.
Can this service be used for construction or renovation?
We’re happy to consult on construction or renovation projects to the best of our ability with the information provided. It would be best to have your list of questions ready to go, and any product samples handy. Please be sure to send us any floor plans, documents, or visuals you have in advanced so we have time to review and can use your time wisely.
Since these are high-stakes projects, we highly encourage Full Service Design to ensure cohesion and avoid the pitfalls of misc. feedback.
Will you pick out specific products for/with me?
If you already have samples of products you’re considering, please ensure they’re available the day of and we’ll help you make decisions.
Otherwise, we’re happy to give you product recommendations and aligned retail companies but it will be up to you to locate the products, purchase the products and install them in your home.
For assistance with sourcing and procurement, our Full Service Furnishings would be a great fit!
What if I need additional support after?
This consultation can be booked as many times as needed, without limitations. We do accept limited appointments, so we always encourage booking out once you know ongoing support is needed.
If you need more support, our Full Service Design offers a more comprehensive design approach.
What is your cancellation, rescheduling, and refund policy?
Refunds are accepted within 72 hours of booking. After this period, your session is considered confirmed and the fee becomes non-refundable.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests are accepted up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment and may be made directly through your confirmation link. Requests made within 24 hours of the appointment are not guaranteed; however, if an issue arises, please email us at [email protected].
