Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! Many of our clients prefer to tackle their projects in phases. For example, starting with a kitchen and family room, then continuing to the bedrooms or bathrooms later. We’ll create a phased plan that ensures flow and consistency across your home.

  • Absolutely. Many of our Forever Home clients have families and furry friends. We prioritize durable, easy-to-clean materials without sacrificing style, think performance fabrics, and family-friendly layouts.

  • Yes. In our full-service packages, we handle all of that for you. Our receiving warehouse inspects every piece upon arrival, manages damages or replacements, and coordinates deliveries so everything arrives safely and on time for installation day.

  • Of course. While we love the customization and quality of trade-only vendors, we can absolutely incorporate select retail pieces if you prefer, especially for quicker timelines or budget-friendly areas.

  • Timelines vary based on scope, but most full-service design projects range from 4–8 months from concept to completion. Custom furnishings and renovations take longer, while a smaller refresh may be completed sooner.

  • Our process begins with a complimentary Discovery Call, followed by a Design Questionnaire, and then an in-person Design Consultation at your home, where we learn about your space, lifestyle, and goals. From there, we develop your personalized design concept, manage sourcing and purchasing, and coordinate with trades, guiding you from first ideas to final installation.

  • Yes, we can collaborate with your existing contractor if they’re a good fit. If you don’t have one, we’re happy to recommend trusted builders and trades we’ve successfully partnered with on past projects.

  • That’s entirely up to you. Some clients love being part of every decision; others prefer to be hands-off. Either way, we keep you updated and informed at every stage through design presentations, approvals, and progress updates.

  • We can certainly take on select smaller projects that align with our Forever Home philosophy, such as a single room that needs a complete redesign or a bathroom remodel within an existing home.

  • We take the time to understand how you live, what makes you feel at home, and what you love most about your space. Every design decision, from color to texture to layout, is made with your lifestyle and story in mind.

  • We work on residential projects of all sizes, from whole-home remodels to thoughtful single-space transformations. Our focus is on creating timeless, wellness-driven designs that feel both beautiful and livable.

  • That’s perfectly fine; most clients don’t! Through our onboarding questionnaire and collaborative design process, we’ll help you uncover your style and translate it into a cohesive, comfortable space you’ll love coming home to.

  • Most definitely! We love incorporating existing pieces, which can make your home feel more authentic and layered. We’ll evaluate what works within your new design and suggest refinishing, reupholstering, or repurposing where appropriate.

  • Yes! Not every project warrants a full-service package, such as a whole home renovation. When the scope of work is smaller and you only need us for a couple of hours to refresh and update your spaces or help you through some selections, you can choose our A la Carte (hourly) design service built especially for these situations.

  • Our pricing varies depending on the type of service provided.
