Live Session
Interior Design
Consultation
A focused, real-time working session to get expert direction fast. Unlike our Virtual Design Studio, this is a live conversation where you can ask questions, get immediate feedback, and leave with a clear plan.
From $150varies by format & scope
Our consultation is designed for homeowners who want professional insight without committing to a full design engagement. Whether you're stuck on a layout, unsure about a color direction, or need a professional eye on a renovation scope, this is your starting point.
Available as a virtual session (1 hour) or an in-person visit (up to 1.5 hours), each consultation is a focused, working conversation. We review your space, discuss your goals, and deliver clear guidance you can use immediately.
Many clients use this session as a first step before committing to a larger project. Others simply need a one-time expert opinion to feel confident moving forward on their own.
What's Included
Your Consultation Session
- In-person or virtual session. Choose between a 1.5-hour in-home visit or a 1-hour video call. Both formats deliver the same depth of expert guidance.
- Inspiration review. Bring your Pinterest boards, magazine clippings, or saved images. We'll identify patterns in what you're drawn to and translate that into a clear design language.
- Investment Estimate Form. We'll walk through a realistic budget framework for your project so you can plan with confidence. Try the estimate tool →
- Focused design guidance. Specific answers to your specific questions: layout options, color direction, material suggestions, and style refinement.
- Actionable priorities. You'll leave with a clear list of what to tackle first, what can wait, and what will have the biggest impact.
- Next-step recommendation. We'll let you know whether a Designer on Demand session, full-service engagement, or going it alone makes the most sense.

Is This Right for You?
Who This Is For
A consultation is ideal for homeowners who need expert eyes on a specific challenge: a room that doesn't feel right, a renovation scope decision, a style direction to pursue, or simply confidence that their instincts are on track.
It's also a great option if you're exploring whether professional design is right for you. This session lets you experience working with a designer before committing to a larger engagement.
If you don't need a live session and just want to see your room reimagined with photorealistic renderings, our Virtual Design Studio may be a better fit — no scheduling required.
