Design guidance for those hard-to-make design decisisons.

No project is too small or too specific. In fact those small designs can be the difference between good design and something truly unique.

Design Studio Sessions are ideal for focused challenges like furniture arrangement, color selection, or accessorizing a single room. If you're unsure, start with a two-hour session. Our designers can typically provide meaningful guidance for one area of your home within this timeframe. For whole-home projects or major renovations, we'll recommend our Full-Service Design option if appropriate.
