How do your services differ from traditional interior design services?
Most interior design services are based on selling you new things. With an Interior Refinement®, we are usually working with what you already have in the home, completing rooms in just a few short hours. We do not sell you anything or earn commissions based on what you buy. We are simplifying the process of interior design by making it fun and affordable.
How long does an Interior Refinement® take?
The
average consultation takes about one and one-half to three hours per room. We charge a low flat rate fee so you will know what to expect up front. A flat rate allows us to stay until all of your questions are answered and you feel confident!
Will I be asked to leave my home during a consultation?
No! Being an active part of the
process of refining your home will give you an emotional connection to
your environment that will bring you joy every day. We want to help
educate & inspire you, empowering you to make decorating choices.
Plus, we enjoy your company! If after our initial consultation you are
too busy to actively participate in every aspect of an on-going
redesign project, we are more than happy to do the work keeping in
close contact with you. It is always a team effort.
Will you be able to work with what I have if I don't have beautiful furniture?
Whether
you have a room full of lovely furniture or have to work with things
right now that you don't necessarily love, we do our best to make your
room work better for you and be more beautiful than you thought it
could be. With furniture, art & accessories properly arranged, every room looks and feels better. We can also advise you on simple and often times inexpensive changes you can
make to your decor, working with your own budget and at your own
pace. Our goal is always to save you money and use what you have
whenever possible. Creative challenges (and sometimes clever disguises!) are our specialty!
Will you bring in accessories the day of the refinement to finish my room?
No! That is "staging" and is not a room authentically inspired by you. If you need more accessories, we can solve that inexpensively with a little more individuality & creativity! Chances are, you don't need what someone tries to impose on you. We are here to help you, not get our products into your home.
Can you help me on a more ongoing basis, after my room refinement?
From your initial refinement, to personal shopping, to style coaching, we are at your service. If you are really serious about transforming your life
at home but need more personal assistance, style coaching can inspire
you with ways to bring beauty & joy to everyday living. From enhancing
your daily rituals to the details of life in your home, we offer
solutions & creative ways to make life more pleasant!
We love finding creative, affordable solutions to finishing rooms and
bringing beauty, joy & function to your life at home. We are
confident we can save you money and help you transform your way of living. Give us a call!
