How We Work
From first consultation to final installation.
A luxury interior is the result of a clear process, not luck. Here is exactly what happens at each stage, what it costs, who is responsible for what, and how to begin. Select any step or fee to see the details.
Six stages, one cohesive result.
01

We walk the space or meet by video, and talk through how you live or how your guests should feel, your style, your timeline and your budget.

We confirm the rooms and services you want, the number of included revision rounds, and the fees. Everything is itemized and agreed in writing before design begins.
You receive: a written scope of service and invoice.

How it ends
We present the full concept to you for review.
