DESIGN INTENSIVE

Are you a design lover who needs a little help in putting all your ideas together?

A Design Intensive is a great way to dive into putting your home together as we explore any aspect of interior design–from furnishings to shopping together to planning a renovation.

Design Intensive

A Design Intensive is a strategic and streamlined version of the design process. With a Design Intensive, you receive:

  • Our Strategic Preparation Process

We front-load the in-home day with a strategic prep period that includes a questionnaire and inspiration board review.​

  • A 3-Hour Day Together

This three-hour meeting time will allow us to engage in the design and revision process. (Note: Some portions of the day may be remote.)​ 

  • Follow Up Notes

After the morning intensive, our team will clean up our ideas and send notes, any design boards created or sources identified, and procurement as needed (procurement fees apply).

*A Design Intensive does not provide millwork or construction drawings and is a stand-alone service. For larger projects that require drawings or project management, please refer to our full-service design options.

Our Process

Step One

Contact us with the details of your project. We'll send you a Services Agreement and an invoice. Once you sign and pay the deposit, you'll receive a link to schedule your date!

Step Two

Clear your calendar and prepare for our day together. We'll come prepared with our design software and samples as available, and together we'll work through your goals on the schedule date (with a bit of coffee to keep us motivated).

Step Three

We'll send over any notes and design boards created during our time together. If needed, we can move to procurement or add additional design hours.

*Design Intensives are offered on select Thursdays, 9 am - 1 pm.
