This question is quite subjective and there are many answers depending on who you ask. In summary, it depends on the Designer (or firm). So it's important to ask the Designer what their services include and do not include. Interior Decorating Some Interior Designers choose to focus only on the aesthetics of an existing space. Services may include selection of paint, furniture, wall art, light fixtures, window treatments and accessories. They may also help you choose higher-ticket items such as flooring, tile and countertops. These services may be referred to as interior decorating. Interior Design In addition to the aesthetic services listed above, some Designers may also provide more specialized offerings such as floor plans (CAD), cabinetry planning, and 3D renderings in their list of services. Since these services often involve architectural changes/elements and thus construction work, they are considered to be interior design. Contractor/Construction Management It is usually necessary for an Interior Designer to communicate with their clients' builder/contractor at certain times during a project. But project management to oversee the construction process and coordinate the tasks may or may not be in the Designer's wheelhouse. So it's important to ask the Designer whether or not their services include construction project management. At 615interiors, we do both interior decorating and interior design. We do not provide construction management, or management of contractors such as painters, carpenters, and cabinetry installers. We have a basic knowledge of construction - it's needed for floor planning. But we are not builders, architects or engineers. We advise our clients to secure a good General Contractor to oversee the renovation process, and we are happy to make recommendations for quality contractors upon request. A Note About Construction Management A new build or renovation has MANY moving parts and requires a small army of subcontractors and skillsets. Those skills include demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, window/door installation, tile/floor installation, cabinet building, finishing work, just to name a few. To manage all these moving parts, a General Contractor may charge at least 20% of the total project cost. They will source, schedule, manage and pay all the subcontractors. It's tempting to try and be your own general contractor to save money. And if you have construction experience and a lot of time on your hands, you may be able to do it successfully. But keep in mind, it's a full-time job. We've seen clients become overwhelmed and burned out trying to manage it all themselves, and the likelihood of errors and shoddy work is high. Please proceed with caution, as these problems can cost a lot more money to fix down the road. We can recommend reputable builders and contractors to contact for your project. Just ask!

We design complete* interior spaces that are beautiful and functional for residential and commercial clients. These include living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, basements, recreational spaces, office spaces, lobbies, meeting/conference rooms, and reception areas. We also do exterior photo retouch renderings to help homeowners envision their home with new paint, shutters, trim, windows and doors. *We generally don’t offer individual selections for furniture, wall art, window treatments, or smaller items on their own. This is because it can be challenging to ensure that a single new piece will blend well in both size and style with your existing furnishings, often resulting in a disjointed look. Instead, we love to approach the entire space as a whole and redesign everything to create a fresh, cohesive look that’s tailored to your vision and needs. This way, we can craft a truly personalized experience that ties everything together beautifully. If you have a sentimental piece or furnishing that's working for you, we are happy to incorporate into your design.

In-Person Design Session: $300 Get “fresh eyes,” clarity, and expert advice during this 1-2 hour working session in your space.

I’ll offer feedback based on my experience, guide you through sample options, and provide tailored suggestions. By the end of our session, you’ll have a much clearer vision of how to bring your new space to life! During the session, we'll review my design process and determine which approach best suits your unique project. You will then receive a detailed proposal for your consideration. 2. Interior Design Plan: Design fee is based on project scope* Whether you're planning a remodel or a simple refresh, my interior design planning service is the perfect starting point. I'll guide you through a step-by-step approach to plan every detail of your redesign, ensuring it aligns with your wish list.

Together, we'll make layout and design decisions, helping you visualize your new space every step of the way. No guesswork, no trial and error, no stress - gorgeous results! 3. Implementation: Implementation fee is based on the final Design Plan After we complete your Design Plan, you may request a custom estimate on our implementation services for procurement of quality furnishings and decor selected specifically for your space and investment level. Implementation services may include one or all of the following: a curated shopping list, a shopping trip, purchasing/ordering items in your behalf, receiving inspection & warehousing, white glove delivery & staging. *Our design planning fee is a calculation based on the size of your space(s) and the level of detail (scope of work) in each space. Depending on project scope, design fee starts at $1800-$2800. Along with interior design planning, we offer additional implementation services that provide further assistance in selecting finishes and fixtures. We can also recommend reputable contractors specializing in home remodeling services. Questions? I'd love to chat with you!

Your custom Design Plan will include floor plans and 3D renderings that are to-scale based on the measurements of your actual space. They contain dimensions for everything in the room and are intended to help you visualize our design plan, help us determine placement of furniture, fixtures, finishes, decor, and in some cases the movement of interior walls and windows. If applicable, our floor plans will assist you in communicating your wishes to contractor(s). Our floor plans are not architectural-grade construction blueprints. If your project involves professional remodel, please be aware that your contractor may require more detailed plans by an architect.

By "refurnish" we mean replacing all furniture, rug, wall art, decor, and lamp lighting. The answer to this question depends on the size of the space, and the brands and quality of furnishings you prefer. These are things we discover with you during our design process. We tailor our services & furnishing selections to our clients' specific needs and desired investment level. But here is a guideline on cost to refurnish a room: Lower-to-mid quality - $10,000-$20,000 Mid-to-higher quality - $20,000-$30,000 High quality / luxury - $30,000+ Starting with a full Design Plan offers major benefits, saving you both time and stress throughout the project. The plan allows you to see how all the elements in a space will work together, giving you a clear understanding of what needs to be purchased. You don’t have to buy everything at once—orders can be placed at your own pace.* Most importantly, our process outlines every detail of your space and the associated costs, so you can stay within your budget and feel confident about your investment every step of the way. *If you decide to wait and order some items later, please be aware there’s a possibility they may be out of stock or the manufacturer could change the pricing. For the best result, we recommend ordering all items at once, and/or allowing us to handle procurement, delivery and staging for you. Design Planning Saves Money in the Long Run, and Stress! Having a knowledgeable professional to help you navigate the design process will save you tons of time and stress, and will often save money in the long run. If you find that you are particularly indecisive, don't have much time on your hands or are looking to undertake a large project, an Interior Designer can be well worth the added cost. Builders tell us that it makes their process much smoother as well, which translates into savings for you! Learn more about our process & rates here » More FAQs » Questions?

For the best result, we will always suggest replacing most of the furnishings and decor in a space. However, if you have a sentimental piece(s), or have already invested in a beautiful piece that you love, we'll work it into the design plan so that everything in the space harmonizes. Rest assured, you won't have to give up anything that you love or that's working for you. Let's chat about your project and furniture pieces.

As a small business owner, I understand and appreciate the desire to save money when possible - even on an investment as important as your home or place of business. My clients hire me for knowledge and expertise, access to superior contractors and products, assistance in visualizing their redesigned space, and to ensure the final result is a beautiful space that exceeds their expectations. They also rely on me to keep their design on track which saves them time, money, and stress. That said, whenever possible, I offer products at below-retail prices when clients choose me to handle the procurement of their furnishings (implementation services). Thanks to my trade accounts, I have access to exclusive items and pricing that aren’t available to the general public. If you prefer to shop for and purchase your own furnishings, the custom Design Plan I create will serve as an excellent guide. One of the additional services I offer is a curated shopping list, which you can use if you’d like to purchase items on your own. Questions? Book a free Consult Call with Gwen today »

Contractors have a valued skillset - we need their expertise! However, builders usually want to focus on what they do best - BUILDING. Their focus is getting paid for the labor they provide, and many of them don't provide design services. If they do agree to select materials for your job, their selections may not necessarily work well for your space, taste, and lifestyle. Contractors may not take into consideration how paint, finishes and fabrics will work together. (And they certainly don't care how your furniture will fit.) Construction is expensive. Protect your investment and ensure the outcome you want! Hire 615interiors beforehand to design and space-plan your room. Then you can be 100% confident in every decision and enjoy a smoother more efficient build-out process. Learn more about our process & rates here » Questions?

It depends on project scope. Room planning and design work generally takes 2-3 weeks. Sourcing of materials and/or furnishings can take another 2-3 weeks. Purchasing and installation of furnishings can take 4-6 weeks depending on the manufacturer, (and if any items are custom). If construction/remodeling is required in your project, plan on an additional 6 months, or longer, depending on project scope and availability of your Contractor. These are simply guidelines.
