When is the best time to involve us in your project?
The best time to bring in an interior designer is at the very beginning of your project. This allows us to collaborate with the builder and architect to design flow, features, and amenities that fit your lifestyles and tastes. If your project encompasses simple updates or furnishings only, the same holds true. Let us craft a cohesive and thoughtful plan based on your ideal investment.
What locations do we serve?
Although based in Lexington, Kentucky, our clients have taken us around the world. We have designed spaces in Chicago, Cape Cod, Aspen, Tiburon, NYC, Sydney, London, and the Bahamas.
Whether you're in the U.S. or abroad, we'd be happy to assist with your project.
What trades do we collaborate with during your project?
Our in-house staff includes our Principal Designers, Jenny and Jenna, an Architectural Team, and Project Management staff. We also involve our vetted network of trade specialists and artisans (painters, carpenters, wallpaper installers, etc) to realize our client's design. If you have any special requests, such as a love for art or a wine collection to display, we would be delighted to accommodate you.
How would we describe our design style?
While our aesthetic would fall into many style categories - traditional, transitional, contemporary, modern - our work is united by a sense of timelessness, livability, luxury, and customization. We take pride in the fact that no two projects look the same. Every home we design often includes personal pieces, like art or family heirlooms, and custom elements that we design uniquely for you. This is also why we value creative collaboration at the outset of your project - if you would like.
How long can you expect your project to take?
In general, large-scale renovations and custom new builds can take 1-2+ years to complete. This includes assembling the right team for your project, design time, procuring materials, construction and the turnkey installation of your interiors.
However, every project is unique, like our clients, and project scope dictates timelines and investment. A furnishings-only project will take less time than a new-build.
Scope, investment, timeline are fully discussed in our preliminary meetings. Realistic expectations are established before work begins. Transparency is everything to us.
How do we charge for our interior design services?
Similar to project timelines, the overall investment in your project, including design fees, procurement of furnishings, and installation will vary with the scope. All this is discussed and agreed upon BEFORE the start of work. That said, our process supports complete transparency and is based on open and honest communication.
After doing this for 20+ years, our process is well-established and results in delivering projects on-time and within budget.
Do you need to purchase your furnishings through us?
Yes, and that is one of the great advantages of working with us! We have spent decades vetting a trusted and exclusive network of suppliers who excel in workmanship, customer service, and options for customization. Using your preferences and lifestyle as a guide, we will identify, procure, and install the best furnishings for your home with the intent of maximizing your investment. Of course, if you have any existing sentimental or heirloom items you would like us to include, we are more than happy to do so.
What is the first step to working together?
As soon as you know a renovation, new build, or interiors project is on the horizon, reach out to set up an introductory call. We will learn more about you, your project, share our process, and get to know one another. If there is a mutual fit, we book a consultation and submit a proposal for our services.
