Weeks 1–2 · The plan
Measurements, a scaled layout and where the problems really are.
Four programs of 6 to 10 weeks, each aimed at getting one real room finished.
The complete program. We start with measurements and a simple plan, fix the layout before anything is bought, then work through furniture, lighting and textiles in an order that avoids expensive mistakes. You do the buying and the installing; we make sure it's the right thing at the right time.
Measurements, a scaled layout and where the problems really are.
Sofa, bed, table, rug — size and placement before style.
Layered lighting and a palette that works in your light.
Art, textiles and the last ten percent that makes it look done.
How your windows and bulbs change every color you choose.
Large samples, tested at three times of day.
Ambient, task and accent, with the right bulbs.
Paint looks different in every room, and most homes are lit by a single overhead light that flatters nothing. We test colors properly on your walls, build a three-layer lighting plan, and get the bulb temperature consistent so everything stops looking slightly off.
For rooms with all the furniture and none of the atmosphere. We work on scale and grouping, where art actually belongs on a wall, and how to layer textiles so a space feels lived in rather than staged. Mostly using things you already own.
Removing what's fighting, grouping what works.
Art size, height and arrangement that isn't random.
Textiles, plants and the last details.
What changes the room most per dollar spent.
Secondhand, floor models, and what to buy new.
Measuring twice, lead times, and return policies.
Budget decides more than taste does. We rank your room's purchases by impact, work out what's worth buying well and what genuinely isn't, and check measurements before anything is ordered — the mistake that costs people the most. We recommend no retailers and take no commissions.
Twenty minutes on that room and what's actually blocking it. Free, and nobody sells you a sofa.
