To ensure a successful project, we suggest beginning by visualizing your dream home. We love to see your inspiration photos, mood boards, and architectural plans. We will also want to know the details of your budget and timeline (even if these are estimates for now). Once you have this information, start the process by submitting an inquiry.

Yes! We have worked with clients throughout the United States and recently completed our first international project in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. While our international work is on a limited basis, we suggest you submit an inquiry so we can learn more about the place that you call home.

The cost varies depending on the size, scope, and timeline of your project. We bill at hourly rates for Shea and the design team’s work. In general, you can expect to spend roughly 10% of your overall budget on design services. Once you submit an inquiry and our capacity for your project opens, we will reach out to learn more about your project needs and provide a more accurate bid.

For new builds, the project timeline is typically determined by the builder and/or contractor. Many builders and contractors provide us with an idea of their build timeline, and from there we’ll layer in our design work at the corresponding stages. New builds typically take two to three years to complete, from start to finish.

Your collaboration style is entirely customizable. As your dedicated design team, we adapt to your preferences and work in the manner that suits you best. Some clients prefer active participation, engaging in discussions and providing input at every step. We also have clients who prefer a more hands-off approach due to time constraints or other reasons. Regardless, part of our expertise involves pushing the boundaries of design. This means gently nudging you beyond your comfort zone and presenting new, exciting design elements that you may have never been exposed to before. Trust us when we say that embracing this process will yield incredible results.

We do not have minimum or maximum project size restrictions; however, our Full Service Interior Design projects are typically entire home builds or remodels, reserving single rooms or spaces for our Virtual Interior Design Services . We take on a variety of home types and projects—everything from urban brownstones to sprawling beachside vacation homes.

We can provide you with recommendations on contractors or builders that we have worked with in the past, but we leave the hiring of your team up to you. We do, however, work closely with all contractors, builders, and architects that are involved with the creation of your home.
