A.  In most cases, nothing.  Our design services are a part of your purchase and are not billed separately.  We offer competitive pricing on all materials for your home and you get the advantage of a professionally decorated home or office, aesthetically pleasing to you, your family and guests (the "WOW!" factor).

Q. What are the other options for using your services?

A.  You may arrange hourly consultation for initial, partial or complete design services.  Additionally, you may arrange for "cost plus" consulting, where materials selected for your home or office are available at my wholesale pricing, plus a negotiated markup. 

Even if it's just coordinating paint colors and textures, we are more than happy to assist you.

Q. What are the advantages of using an interior designer?

A.  A professional designer can make your house a home.  Through a balanced selection of colors, textures, materials and furnishings specifically selected for you and your family, your home will have a professional touch, be balanced and likely have a higher resale value and less time-on-market when (and if) you decide to sell.  Most homeowners carefully select their architect for a dramatic exterior; likewise, the interior of a home requires the eye of an interior designer.

Professional home builders employ the services of an interior designer for homes built for resale.  These builders know that a designer can save them money in the selection of materials and have a completed home that is attractive and sells faster and for more money. 

We've all been in homes where the predominant memory of the home is "what were they thinking?"   It's easy to avoid this by utilizing an interior designer that is compatible with your style, needs and budget.

Likewise, office decor is equally as important.  In many cases, more time awake is spent in an office than at home and a pleasing, carefully selected interior can greatly increase productivity and increase sales.

Q.  Why not just shop at Home Depot?

A.  The integration of the elements of interior design -- paint, carpeting, wood and tile floors, countertops, window coverings and furniture -- is a demanding challenge for any homeowner.  With our services and products, you can achieve a polished, professional look for your home at competitive prices.
