Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical design project take?
The timeline varies depending on the scope of the project. A single room redesign typically takes 4-6 weeks from concept to completion, while a full home design may take 3-6 months. We provide a detailed timeline during the initial consultation.
Do you work within specific budget ranges?
Yes, we work with various budget levels. During our consultation, we discuss your budget and develop a design plan that maximizes value while staying within your financial parameters. We can work with both modest and substantial budgets.
Can minimalist design work in small spaces?
Absolutely. Minimalist design is particularly effective in small spaces. By eliminating clutter and focusing on essential elements, we can make small spaces feel larger and more functional. Strategic storage solutions and multi-functional furniture are key components of our approach.
What if I want to keep some of my existing furniture?
We often incorporate existing pieces into new designs. During the consultation, we assess your current furniture and determine which pieces can be integrated into the minimalist aesthetic. We may suggest refinishing or reupholstering to align with the new design direction.
Do you handle purchasing and installation?
Yes, we can handle all aspects of purchasing and installation. We have established relationships with vendors and contractors, which often results in better pricing and smoother coordination. You can choose to have us manage everything or handle certain aspects yourself.
Is minimalist design suitable for families with children?
Yes, minimalist design can work beautifully in family homes. We focus on durable materials, smart storage solutions, and flexible layouts that accommodate family life. The key is creating organized systems that make it easy to maintain a clean, uncluttered environment.
Color Philosophy
Our color palettes are carefully chosen to create calm, cohesive environments. We favor neutral tones that provide a timeless foundation, allowing furniture and accessories to shine. Common color schemes include soft whites, warm grays, and natural earth tones.
We use color strategically to define spaces, create visual interest, and establish mood. Accent colors are used sparingly and intentionally, often drawn from natural materials like wood grain or stone veining.
