Full-service, explained

Full-service residential interior design services allow you to focus on your professional and familial endeavors while staying informed and in control of your new build, renovation, or redesign. Our design process is meticulously constructed to ensure that your vision and your result are indistinguishable.

Our refined, full-service process

We have meticulously refined our approach with two priorities in mind: your precious time and the ultimate outcome. As a full-service interior design firm, our mission is to oversee every aspect to guarantee a stress-free path toward your exquisite result. We have cultivated a process that not only maximizes the depth of our interactions, enabling us to fully grasp your vision, but also minimizes the time we encroach upon your schedule, allowing you to concentrate on your highest priorities...

  • Our brief discovery call (usually 30 minutes or less) allows us to connect and understand the scope of your interior design project. This call lays the foundation for our work together - ensuring we’re the best fit for your project’s requirements, scope, budget, and timeline. Towards the end of the call, we’ll set next steps to move your project forward.

  • During a paid consultation, we’ll discuss your design scope, taking note of your goals, ideas, needs, and requirements for your project. We walk through your project in person and onsite - making notes of your space and layout. We’ll note your home’s unique attributes - such as your sunlight, flow, and functionality. We’ll take photos and discuss your design styles, budget, and timeline. This is how we develop your project’s unique proposal, estimate, and timeline. This is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other and answer any questions you may have about what it’s like to work with us.

  • We’ll deliver a proposal with your project’s investment estimate, timeline, and services. You’ll sign and deliver your initial design fee payment.

  • Prior to this meeting, we will document your space thoroughly and conduct a trade day to determine the feasibility of the design and get ballpark estimates. At our meeting, we will present initial ideas, sketches, and mood boards based on the information we gathered during your consultation. This is a collaborative session to ensure we’re aligned on your vision and goals for your space.

  • During this meeting, we will deliver your final design plan, inclusive of material selections, furniture selections, floor plans, and elevations. We will discuss timelines, budget, and next steps. This is an opportunity to provide any final points of feedback and request any adjustments.

  • We communicate details to vendors and trades. We place orders, track deliveries, and resolve deficiencies. If the project requires a build or renovation, we offer project management. We oversee and coordinate deliveries. We will install all furnishings and decor for your big reveal.

  • We follow up on any outstanding items. We see the punch list and all details through to completion. We provide our care guide to maintain your new furnishings and finishes.

Your Architect, Contractor, and Designer: Why You Need the Holy Trinity for Your New Build 

Remember those dreaded group projects in college where someone inevitably didn’t pull their weight and the whole team suffered? That’s not a risk you want to take in building your custom home. As with anything, the better the team you have, the better your results will be. Interior designers work closely with architects, contractors, and other experts to ensure that every detail is addressed and executed correctly. This coordination reduces the risk of errors and rework — and, in the end, saves you precious resources.

  • “Julia did a Fantastic job decorating a rental property for me in DC. The property looks fantastic... She found good contractors and made sure everybody showed up and got the job done. I could not be happier."

    DH

  • "I'm often too busy and can be fatigued from the constant decisions and follow-up that home updates require which means I've never been able to fully finish updates or decorating. Julia made the process enjoyable with a beautiful end result. I look forward to working with her again!”
