Home Improvements
Home improvement in the US has become a $600 billion industry and a huge chunk of that money gets spent on the wrong things, in the wrong order, with the wrong contractors. We’ve watched homeowners redo a bathroom only to realize the lighting was the real problem. Or rip out cabinets when a coat of paint and new hardware would’ve done the same job for 10% of the cost.
Our home improvement consultation is built around one question: what changes will actually make your daily life better and which ones will just look good in photos? We help you answer that before you spend a dollar.
Popular Home Improvement Projects We Consult On:
Hardwood and LVP flooring installation planning· Recessed lighting layouts · Accent walls and board & batten · Smart thermostat and device integration · Basement finishing concepts · Mudroom and entryway design · Laundry room organization · Garage conversion planning
Interior Designs
Most people don’t need a decorator — they need a plan. The difference between a room that looks pulled-together and one that doesn’t is almost never about spending more money. It’s about having a clear direction before you buy anything.
Our interior design service gives you that direction. We start with your space and your lifestyle — how many people live there, how the room gets used day to day, what you hate about it right now — and we build a design plan that solves the actual problems. Not just something that looks nice in a mood board.
What’s Included in a Full Interior Design Package:
Detailed room layout with furniture placement · Color palette with paint codes · Curated furniture and decor shopping list with links · Lighting plan · Material and fabric recommendations · 2 rounds of revision
Home Decor
Decor is the part most people try to figure out on their own — and then wonder why it never looks quite right. The issue usually isn’t taste. It’s proportion, layering, and knowing what to edit out. A room with too many things feels cluttered. A room with too few feels empty. Getting that balance right takes a trained eye.
Our home decor styling service is about making your existing space feel finished. We work with what you have wherever possible, fill in the gaps with specific product recommendations, and give you an arrangement guide so the final result doesn’t require you to rearrange three times.
Small Space Solutions
Living in a small space isn’t a compromise — it’s a design challenge. And honestly, it’s one of the more interesting ones. When you don’t have square footage to spare, every decision matters: the sofa that’s 4 inches too wide, the storage solution that doesn’t account for how you actually grab things, the layout that technically fits but makes the room feel like a hallway.
We’ve redesigned studio apartments in Manhattan, 400 sq ft condos in Miami, and small urban rowhouses in DC and Chicago. Each one had the same goal: make the space feel twice as big through layout, light, and furniture that works harder than it looks.
DIY Guidance
DIY home projects have exploded — and for good reason. Labor costs are high, supply chains are still unpredictable, and a lot of homeowners genuinely enjoy doing the work themselves. The problem is that most DIY content online is either too vague to actually follow or filmed in a perfect shop with $10,000 in tools.
Our DIY guidance service is practical. We look at your specific project, your skill level, and your available tools — and we give you a realistic plan. Not a Pinterest fantasy. An actual step-by-step breakdown with material lists, timing estimates, and notes on where to call in help if something’s above your comfort zone.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Kitchens and bathrooms are the two rooms that drive resale value and daily quality of life more than anything else in a home. They’re also the two rooms where renovation costs can spiral fastest if there’s no plan.
We design kitchens around how people actually cook not how a showroom kitchen looks. That means realistic cabinet heights, drawer configurations that make sense, appliance placement based on your workflow, and countertop materials that hold up to how you actually use the space. Same goes for bathrooms: functional layouts first, beautiful finishes second.
