Understanding the Full Picture
Design fees cover my professional services: creative direction, space planning, sourcing expertise, vendor management, and project coordination. They do not include furnishings, materials, freight, delivery, installation, or construction.
For full service projects, here’s what to expect for total investment:
A standard three-room project typically runs $95,000 to $125,000+(design fees+furnishings + logistics)
Furnishings budgets generally range form $15,000 to $55,000 per room depending on scope
A 12% procurement fee covers order management, tracking, inspection, and damage resolution
Freight, receiving, delivery, and installation run approximately 12-15% of the furnishings budget
This is not a “budget” service, and I’m honest about that. It’s a professional investment in how you will live for the next decade or more. If the numbers here feel right, we’re likely a great fit. If not, I’d rather save us both time.
Design that supports life as it changes.
You’re a great fit for this firm if:
You’re navigating a life transition: aging in place, empty nesting, caregiving , loss, or a new chapter
You value quality, comfort, and independence over trends
You can invest at the levels above and feel good about it
You want a clear process with a caring guide, not DIY advice
You respect professional expertise and communicate openly
You’re ready to make decisions and move forward
This may not be the right fit if:
Your need one room done for under $10,000 total
You’re look for renovation, construction, or new build services
You need the project completed in 1-2 months
You’re looking for decorating tips, organizing, or styling without full design
No judgement either way. I’d rather connect you with the right resource than waste your time.
