WHY. Why hire an interior designer...

If you’ve ever looked at sofas online and broke out in a sweat, stared at 25 shades of white paint and panicked, or tried to arrange a room only to feel like something's just off, then you’ve probably considered hiring an interior designer.

But what exactly does a designer do—and is it worth the investment?

We Save You Time (And Headaches)

Designing a space involves hundreds of decisions, from the layout to the lighting to the finishes on your cabinet hardware. Even in a small project, the decision fatigue can be real. An interior designer steps in with a clear plan, a streamlined process, and experience that keeps the project moving forward, without all the second-guessing.

From tile, paint, furntiure and beyond, we know the vendors to work with. We know how to avoid costly mistakes. We know how to manage timelines and tradespeople. Your time is valuable, and we know it.

We Help Translate what YOU want

One time a client came to me with a Pinterest board full of images and said, "I love all of this, but I have no clue how to implement it in my home." It was my job to take their ideas, inspiration, and lifestyle, and translates that into a cohesive, functional space that reflected them. Not just pretty photos, but a home that actually works for how they lived.

We Care about the Boring Stuff too!

Definitely, we care about aesthetics, but we also think about the unglamorous stuff: how doors swing open, where outlets go, what kind of fabric will hold up to kids and pets, how to layer lighting so you don't feel like you're being interrogated, and how storage solutions will actually function in real life.

Design isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels to live in the space and we make it make work for you.

We Can Actually Help You Save Money

Yes, hiring a designer is an investment, but so is reordering the wrong sofa or repainting your living room three times because the color is never quite right. We can help you avoid costly mistakes, get it right the first time, and make smart choices that have longevity.

If you want your home to feel intentional, beautifully layered, and tailored to you, hiring a designer isn’t a luxury, it’s a smart, strategic choice.

Whether you’re gutting a bathroom, furnishing your first home, or finally updating that room you avoid, a designer can be your partner in bringing it all together—with confidence, clarity, and a little bit of magic.
