Common Questions and Answers

"What if I'm still not sure?"

I suggest starting with a Design Consultation. If you need more hands-on project management and sourcing support, purchase Interior Design by the Hour for a la carte deliveries. 

"How many Design Consultations will I need?"

At least one Design Consultation! For a full home remodel, expect at least one  Design Consultation for each design element: lighting, tile, paint, furniture, art, etc.

"How many hours will my Interior Design by the Hour project take?"

It's entirely up to you. I've worked on two projects, identical in scope. One client used many hours, and another used just a few, with similar results. 

If you want to be hands-on with project management and trade coordination, you'll need fewer interior design hours. 

If you want someone to handle every detail while you only make approvals and do not change your daily routine, you'll require many hours from an interior designer to take over the details.
