DESIGN SERVICES & INVESTMENT
Design services are defined by the work involved and the decisions you need to make. The scope, documentation and fee for each engagement are established before work begins.
DESIGN PRACTICE
From a new room arrangement to coordinated furnishings, finishes and design documentation, I develop the work around the physical conditions of the space and the decisions ahead. A consultation may focus on one question or lead to a fuller room plan.
AREAS OF PRACTICE
Services can be commissioned individually or combined in a project proposal. The level of drawings, sourcing and visual presentation is determined by the agreed scope.
Furniture layouts and spatial planning, including scale, circulation, and the relationships between retained and new furnishings. A project may include furniture selections, sources, a coordinated material palette, floor plans and realistic visualizations, as specified in the proposal.
Paint, upholstery, wood, stone, tile and related finishes considered together with the existing architecture. I examine undertones, texture, surface performance, durability and changing light, then document selections to the level agreed for the consultation.
Working with the furniture, artwork and accessories already in a home: reassessing groupings, circulation, visual relationships and daily use. Restyling may take place in person in the Seattle area or remotely using photographs, video and measured room information.
Selection and placement of artwork, including scale, sightlines, grouping and wall compositions in relation to furniture and architecture. Installation services, when required, are arranged separately.
Specification of fabric, lining, construction, hardware and treatment proportions, with workroom or manufacturer coordination. I can order and invoice custom treatments under agreed project terms. The client engages and pays the installer directly; the installer takes the final measurements used for ordering and completes installation.

Some services can be added separately, depending on your project. If you'd like to customize your plan, please reach out so we can discuss the options.
SCOPE AND PURCHASING
Your proposal defines the design work, deliverables, fee and anticipated timing. Design drawings convey the intended arrangement and selections for review by the relevant professionals.
Clients generally purchase furnishings and materials directly. If designer-managed purchasing is useful, that arrangement is agreed separately. Window treatments have their own ordering, measuring and installation arrangements as described above.
For work beyond the bathroom packages, fees are established from the project requirements rather than assumed from a price for another room type.
DESIGN INQUIRIES
Share the room type, location, approximate scope and any photographs or plans you have. The initial discussion will establish which service and level of development fit the work.
