Hourly Consulting

Whether you’re renovating, furnishing your dream home or anything in-between, we offer three tried-and-true packages to bring your vision to life. And because no two projects or homes are the same, all of our services can be adapted to achieve your specific goals. All of our services are available in-person or remotely, for those outside of Vancouver. 

based in vancouver,
working everywhere

As a boutique interior design studio, we focus on renovations, new builds and one room transformations, working in collaboration with your chosen architect, builder, or contracting team. 

As no two projects or homes are the same, your project may include selection of interior finishes, designing bespoke architectural details, sourcing fixtures and furniture, purchasing and order management, or all of the above. We understand how daunting a project transforming your home can be, and use a thoughtful, streamlined process that puts our client’s experience at the forefront.

Interior Design

Our most popular service, the Furnish & Style package is intended for clients who are looking to transform their home or rental, without going through a lengthy renovation process. 

It includes full furnishing and styling, where we source from a mix of retail, vintage, custom and trade-only sources. Beyond furniture and decor, we consider non-structural changes such as paint, light fixtures, hardware and window treatments. 

Purchasing & Order Management is also included, meaning we’ll handle the tedious process of ordering your furniture and managing the delivery logistics, while extending our trade discounts to you.

Furnish & Style

Don’t need full service, but would like to infuse a bit of our signature aesthetic into your home? Or perhaps you’ve started a project, but are struggling with design decision fatigue. We can provide you with specific services at an hourly design rate. 

Hourly consulting is perfect for those who may be redesigning themselves who require confidence in order to make their decisions, or are looking for concrete suggestions, support and tips to help guide their own efforts. The time is yours to use however is most helpful for you, but some common topics that we may advise on include:

— Sourcing specific furniture items
— Floor plans and spatial planning
— Size, scale & placement of furniture
— Selecting colours, paint, or materials 
— Planning, questions, and problem solving
— Shopping and vendor suggestions

Remote Design

All of our packages are available remotely for those outside of Vancouver. Remote design (also known as e-design or virtual design) is a flexible, efficient option where the design is done from a distance, keeping the same tailored approach as our in-person clients. This includes access to trade-only vendors, discounted pricing, purchasing and order management, and continued support all the way through. 

How Does It Work?

Best suited to those who are comfortable communicating online, remote clients are responsible for providing accurate measurements of their space, plus photos and videos (for larger projects, we may recommend travel for an initial site visit).  While working remotely does require the client to be a bit more hands-on, we provide the same high-end, bespoke client experience. 
 

Our Design Process

With each project we take on, our design vision is made a reality through a thoughtful, streamlined process that puts our client’s experience at the forefront. 

Pre-project

To get started, fill out our Project Inquiry form below. After filling it out, we’ll send you our Pricing & Service Guide, plus schedule a complementary discovery call. This gives us a chance to get acquainted, discuss the scope of work in more detail, and answer any questions you may have. 

Following our discovery call, we’ll present you with a service proposal that includes a flat rate quote. Once your service agreement is signed and the deposit paid, your project start date is set!


PHASE 1: design programming

Our design process starts with in-depth research to define our goals. First, you'll complete a thorough questionnaire and gather inspiration to help us get acquainted with your style, budget and functional requirements. Then, we schedule a Client Intake day where we do a walkthrough of your space, take detailed measurements top to bottom, and capture reference photos. During this phase, we also draw up internal documents and a 3D model for us to use as reference throughout the project.

For remote clients, you'll be required to send measurements and photos of your space (don’t worry—we will guide you through exactly what to measure and how)! 

PHASE 2: design concept

During this phase, we take all of the info we’ve gathered and apply it to initial concepts, room layouts, and an overall creative direction. This stage is equal parts creative and technical, as we explore possibilities and potential solutions for your space. The best ideas will be presented to you, and the concepts you feel are the strongest are then revised until you are madly in love with our direction.


PHASE 3: design development

With the concept decided on, sourcing begins! This phase is all about refining the details, during which we will source all of the furniture, decor, and materials to achieve a final cohesive design. You will be presented with mockups, technical drawings, renderings and material samples as required to illustrate a final design plan to you. This phase includes multiple rounds of back and forth here, and you, the client, holds power to approve/veto selections with each revision

PHASE 4: DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION

It’s time to wrap up the project for execution! The purpose of this phase is to prepare all of the necessary documents and technical information into a completed design plan. At this stage, the completed design plan is handed off to you for implementation. For clients who have added on our Purchasing & Order Management service, we prepare a purchase form, obtain credit card authorization and a final sign off from you to order items on your behalf. To ensure you feel supported throughout the entire process, we also do a final walkthrough after all your furniture has been delivered and assembled, to ensure everything is styled and executed perfectly in your space.

*Should you want a full service experience, our team can also take care of the install. This means we securely store your items in a warehouse until every piece has arrived, inspect for damages, then finally assemble and style everything in your home while you lay back and enjoy the big reveal!

Commercial Projects

I whole-heartedly believe in the power an interior has in creating a truly unique customer experience.  From adding the finishing touches in your space, to full-service design, I offer customized services for small businesses who want their interior space to be as strategically aligned with their business goals as it is beautiful.  Together, we will create a space that is an extension of your brand and elevates your business.
