FAQ
Questions,
answered.
Can you really design a room without seeing it in person?
Yes, and for most rooms it works better. Photos, a short video and accurate measurements tell me what I need. Because we work over several days rather than one pressured appointment, you get more of my thinking, not less, and you have time to sit with each decision.
What does a rendering actually look like?
A realistic image of your room with the proposed layout, furniture, palette and lighting in place. It shows scale, flow and color so you can judge it properly. Renderings are AI‑generated. They show realistic, but not exact, views and items.
What if I do not like the direction?
Revisions are not built into the packages. Once you have your design, you can add a revision round for $175, or book another package if the changes are bigger.
Do I have to buy everything at once?
No. You get a clickable shopping list with alternatives, and you buy at whatever pace suits you. Plenty of clients work through a room over several months.
How long does it take?
About two weeks for a Room Refresh and three to four weeks for a Complete Room, starting once all measurements and information are in. Rush timelines are available for a 20 to 30 percent surcharge.
What if I only have one question?
Book an Ask a Designer session for $175. It is a full working hour on whatever is stuck, and you keep a recording of the session. It is also the easiest way to find out whether a bigger package is worth it.
Do you work outside California?
Yes. Virtual design means location is not a factor, and there are no travel fees. Local site visits are available in the San Diego area at custom pricing.
What is not included?
For renovation work: construction drawings, engineering, permits, code review, procurement and contractor management, unless specifically quoted. For all packages, purchasing and delivery coordination are yours to run, though the sourcing list is built to make that straightforward.
Not sure where to begin?
