Or maybe you’ve just bought an exquisite credenza, and now you’re unsure where it should go. Should it sit under the window or act as a room divider? Which lamp complements it best?
We’re here to guide you.
We’ll help you find the perfect placement for your new piece and ensure your space feels cohesive and stylish.
Sometimes just a few tweaks, edits, and adjustments can make it feel like an all new space. We would love to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
See a full list of FAQs hereWho will I be chatting with?
Catherine oversees every chat and often solicits input from the team before and during the chat.
What if I need more time?
After your text-chat is complete, you’ll have the option to book another 15 or 30 minute text-chat for additional advice about the same design challenge. This option allows you to bypass the questionnaire step and get your additional questions answered. If you need help on a different project, we ask that you purchase a 20/40/60 minute text-chat and complete a new questionnaire. Many of our clients book consultation sessions periodically for ongoing projects.
How much can we accomplish during a text-chat?
Our clients tell us they are very happy with the amount that can be accomplished during a text-chat. The design team thoroughly reviews the information and photos from your questionnaire before the chat and is ready to design when the chat begins. As we’re constantly in design mode, it’s easy for us to offer quick and creative advice tailored to your specific challenges. If you aren’t sure exactly what time you need for a text chat, drop us a note and tell us about your project, and we’ll recommend a timeframe.
Can you work within my budget?
We take budget very seriously and are mindful of providing options that fit the parameters you indicate in the questionnaire. As we may be giving you an assortment of options, it is up to you to make decisions that align with your financial goals for the project. If you’re unsure about how much to allocate for your project, we suggest that you start with a 20 minute text-chat and we can help you to establish a budget based on your goals. It’s often ideal to develop an overall design plan and prioritize purchases so that you can implement changes and add new pieces over time as your budget allows.
What is the cancellation policy?
We understand that everyone has unexpected conflicts that occur. You can reschedule your chat once within two weeks of completing your questionnaire. Rescheduling can occur up to 24 hours before the chat. If you miss your chat, there is no refund. In the very unlikely event that the design-chat team needs to reschedule your chat, we’ll reschedule it as quickly as possible and give you an additional 20 minute session at no charge.
