We’ve created a clear, step-by-step process to ensure your project is thoughtful, efficient, and beautifully executed from start to finish.
Step 1: In-Home Discovery Visit
Your project begins with an in-home Discovery Visit with one of our designers. This visit allows us to understand your goals, style, budget, and the scope of your project.
During this visit, we:
Discuss your vision, lifestyle, and priorities
Review the spaces involved
Gather measurements, photos, and project details
Accurate floor plans are required to begin the design process. If you don’t have them, we’re happy to refer a trusted professional to assist.
Step 2: Design Services Proposal
After the Discovery Visit, we prepare a customized Design Services Proposal tailored to your project.
This proposal outlines:
Estimated furnishings budget
Design fee
Scope of work by room
Furnishings, freight, and installation overview
Payment schedule
This ensures you fully understand the investment and next steps before moving forward.
Step 3: Design Phase
Once the design fee is received, we begin the creative process.
This phase includes:
Design concept development
Design visuals such as layouts, mood boards, and material selections
A complete furnishings proposal
One design revision is included to refine the final plan.
Step 4: Design Presentation
At your design presentation, we walk you through the full design and furnishings plan, including selections and budget.
An initial deposit is required to proceed with ordering approved furnishings.
Step 5: Ordering, Logistics & Installation
Once approved, we manage every detail behind the scenes, including:
Ordering and tracking
Receiving and inspection
Warehousing and storage
Scheduling delivery and installation.
Step 6: Installation & Final Walkthrough
Our installation team delivers, installs, and styles your space. A final walkthrough ensures everything is completed according to the approved design.

Some projects may require services beyond the original scope. These are discussed in advance and billed separately if needed.

Absolutely. Building a home comes with hundreds of design decisions — and we help make that process organized, informed, and stress-free.
We guide you through all the interior and exterior selections needed for your new custom home, including flooring, countertops, cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, paint colors, tile, and finishes. Every choice is thoughtfully coordinated to ensure your home feels beautiful, cohesive, and custom-designed from day one.
After all selections are made, we create a complete design packet for your builder. This includes finish schedules, specification sheets, and detailed documentation so your builder and trades have a clear understanding of every selection.
For semi-custom homes, we can also accompany you to the builder’s design center to help you make the best choices from the options available to you.
We complete every part of this process in a timely manner, ensuring there are no construction delays due to incomplete or missing selections. Our goal is to make your building experience smooth, efficient, and beautifully executed.

That’s one of the hardest questions to answer — because every project is different. Many factors affect a design budget, including the size of the space, the scope of work, and the style you’re drawn to.
It’s important that we have a clear understanding of your budget from the beginning so we can design and make selections that work within it as closely as possible. We tailor each design plan to fit your space, needs, and investment level, while ensuring the budget allows for all the key items that bring the design to life.
After we’ve had the opportunity to visit your home and understand the scope of work, we can provide a rough estimate to help you plan your investment.
Our goal is always to maximize the impact of your budget while maintaining the highest level of design quality and attention to detail.Item description

Seeing and touching these elements in person allows you to better appreciate the quality, scale, and subtle nuances that make each design truly exceptional.
