Frequently Asked Questions

What’s your rate?

Ah, the million-dollar question (don’t worry—it’s not a million dollars).
Yes, Interior Design is an investment—but one that pays you back daily in beauty, function, and sanity.

We pride ourselves on transparency. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no “oops-we-forgot-to-mention” moments. Our design fees are flat rate, based on the approximate hours your project will require. After a free consultation call, we’ll send you a detailed proposal outlining the major phases of your project and the associated fees.

If the scope of work changes down the line—say you want to add a room or totally rethink a space—that’s no problem. We simply charge additional work at an hourly rate. A nonrefundable deposit (which goes toward your flat rate fee) is required to secure your spot once we sign the contract.

Do you handle project management?

In a word: YES.

Chloe’s background in commercial project management (think airports, bars, and restaurants—you’ve probably sipped a cocktail at one of them) has made her a master of logistics and communication.

We don’t just hand you a pretty plan and wish you luck. We create detailed construction drawing sets and make sure every design decision is clearly documented, communicated, and executed. Think of Chloe as your stylishly tenacious design advocate—handling the nitty-gritty so you don’t have to.

Can I purchase items myself or do you handle all the buying?

Totally up to you.

Some clients love the thrill of the hunt and want to order pieces themselves. Others prefer to hand over the reins and let us take care of everything, down to the last pillow.

Either way, we’ll provide a cohesive, curated Interior Design package that includes everything you need—so you can shop confidently (or not at all).

What’s NCIDQ certification?

Great question—and one we’re proud to answer.

NCIDQ stands for National Council for Interior Design Qualification. It’s a rigorous, three-part exam that tests a designer’s knowledge of public health, safety, and welfare. Basically, it separates the pros from the Pinterest boards.

Holding this certification means we’re not just about making things look good—we’re trained to design spaces that function beautifully and meet the highest safety standards.

Why can’t I just use AI to design my space?

AI is great, but it can’t walk through your home, understand how you actually live, or read between the lines of your style indecision and your Pinterest chaos.

Design isn’t just about picking pretty things. It’s about creating flow, function, and feeling—something that requires nuance, intuition, and real-world problem solving.

We interpret the things you don’t say, source one-of-a-kind pieces, and catch the small details that make a big difference (like scale, lighting, or that weird beam you forgot to mention).

So go ahead and use AI for grocery lists and email revisions. But when it comes to your home? You want a trained human.
