Questions
What distinguishes interior design from interior decorating?
Interior design combines technical knowledge of building codes and space planning with aesthetic principles, requiring formal education and licensing. Decorating focuses solely on visual elements like color and furniture arrangement.

We start with a consultation to understand your needs, then develop detailed plans including space layouts, material selections, and construction documents. We manage the project from start to finish with regular client updates.
Do you work with existing homes or only new construction?
We specialize in both new construction and remodeling projects. Our services include updating existing spaces with custom renovations that improve functionality and modernize outdated interiors.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve Southwest Florida including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and surrounding coastal communities like Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
How do you handle project timelines and budgets?
We create detailed project schedules and cost estimates upfront. Our experience helps avoid costly mistakes while our vendor relationships provide access to quality materials at competitive prices.
Can you help with selecting furniture and accessories?
