INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES
Interior Decorating
While we still make the most of what you already have, our Interior Decorating Service offers you the opportunity to replace old, worn out, or outdated items or simply incorporate a few new ones. We work with you to create a new vision for your space personalized for you and your family. Then, we will help you source the perfect additions to bring your space to life. With access to resources and discounts not available to the general public, we give you an even greater opportunity for detailed space planning and a more cohesive design.
Whether your decorating project means starting from scratch or simply replacing certain items, we will help you make the most of your budget by sourcing items for you based on your style, plan and budget.
Decorating projects might include one or more of the following: new wall color(s), flooring, fixtures, finishes, window fashions, lighting, furniture, artwork and accessories.
Interior Redesign
By reusing, repurposing & restyling items from your home, our Interior Redesign service gives you that “designer” look you’ve always wanted.
You might already have what you need to create a stunning look that you and your family will enjoy. Our Redesign Service makes the most of your decor by reusing what’s on hand. If there are a few missing things, we’ll help you identify what they are and where to add them.
To complete your redesign, our team of well-trained and experienced professionals follow a tried and true system. First, your space is completely cleared so we can better evaluate its hidden potential. Then, we reconstruct the room following a step-by-step process. The end result is a more welcoming, beautiful and functional space that reflects your family’s taste and lifestyle.
Interior Redesign is fundamentally eco-friendly, helping protect our environment. With millions of tons of household items being dumped into landfills or burned every day, keeping things out of the waste stream has never been more important.
Redecorating with what you already own helps you see your home in ways you may have never considered. Repurposing your collected treasures gives you a new-to-you look while saving you money!
Real Estate Staging
Real Estate Staging is far more than neutralizing, de-personalizing and de-cluttering. It’s all about “getting them in the door”, intentionally decorating to market and sell your home.
Our Staging Consultation includes direct, constructive feedback about your house. In other words, we’ll tell you what most buyers won’t. Then we offer suggestions on ways you can accentuate your property’s best features and enhance its visual appeal to attract the largest group of potential buyers.
Our Professional Staging Service, usually completed in one day, offers hands-on expertise. Our team will complete everything covered during your consultation and more. Making the most of your existing decor, we put the finishing touches on your listing. Merchandising your property, using many of the same techniques retailers use, our Professional Staging service insures that the best aspects of your home aren’t overlooked or ignored.
Color Consultation
Choosing the perfect color story for your home is one of the most challenging decorating dilemmas shared by all homeowners! Our Color Consultation service will help you take the guesswork out of this somewhat daunting task.
In addition to selecting the perfect colors for your home, we will recommend the proper finishes and products to guarantee your long term health and enjoyment of your newly painted space. You’ll leave your consultation confident in the palette that we’ve created for your space including complimentary, large samples for your records or to share with family, friends and contractors.
We proudly specify Sherwin Williams™ and Benjamin Moore™ paint products. We are also happy to work with any other manufacturer you might prefer.
A great paint job with the perfect colors really is the easiest and most inexpensive way to coordinate your look!

Interior Design FAQs
First, the cost of hiring an interior designer can vary widely depending on several factors such as experience, location, scope of the project, and level of customization required. While every design professional sets his/her/their own pricing, here’s a breakdown of typical pricing structures:
- Hourly Rate: Many interior designers charge by the hour. Rates can range from $50 to $200 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and location. Keep in mind that some designers may also have a minimum number of hours required for a project.
- Flat Fee or Fixed Rate: Some designers prefer to work on a project basis and will charge a flat fee or fixed rate for the entire project. This fee is usually determined based on the size and complexity of the project.
- Percentage of the Project Cost: In some cases, designers may charge a percentage of the total project cost. This percentage typically ranges from 10% to 30%, but can vary depending on the designer and the specifics of the project.
- Consultation Fee: Some designers may offer an initial consultation for a set fee, which can range from $100 to $500 or more. This fee may or may not be applied towards the total cost of the project if you decide to hire them
