Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL
When is the best time to reach out?
When's the best time to reach out? It's great to start while you're under contract so we can dive right into the project.
How long does a project take?
Project timelines may take 2-6 weeks, depending on your chosen service and project scope and size of the property.
Virtual design project takes up to two weeks.
In-Person installation projects can take up to 6 weeks. We'll set a precise handoff day when you sign on. The initial weeks are spent on market research and strategy development. Next, we spend 2 weeks sourcing furniture and designing the property. Lastly, for on-site installation only the remaining weeks are spent preparing for our team to be onsite 1 week for a smaller property and up to two weeks for a larger home.
Do you help choose which amenities go in the property?
Yes, we assess the market during our research to recommend amenities that can boost your property's nightly rate.
DESIGN
How much should be budgeted for furniture?
A good estimate is $5,000 per bedroom and $6,000 per common space (living space, outdoor space, game room, etc).
What are your design fees?
Virtual design packages start at $3,500 and increases depending on the size of your project and number of rooms we’re designing. Fees for in-person design/project management design vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. We provide a detailed quote after an initial consultation to better understand the project requirements, needs and preferences.
Where do you source furniture?
We source quality furniture from retailers like Amazon, Wayfair, Joss & Main, Target, Etsy, and Burke Decor making sure it's a smart investment by determining quality and reading reviews. On occasion we will source from other elevated brands like West Elm and other trade retailers if the type of property warrants a high-end aesthetic.
IN-PERSON INSTALLATION
After the design is complete what is the timeline in order to launch my listing?
After the design is finalized, generally your property will be set up and photographed in 5-6 weeks. Furniture delivery and some contract work occur in the first 4 weeks, followed by installation and a photoshoot in week 6.
What costs am I responsible for outside of your design fee?
In addition to our design fee, you will are responsible for the furniture/decor and household essential items and contractor labor such as painters, wallpaper installers, photographer, etc.
What types of contractors do you work with?
We collaborate with painters, wallpaper installers, muralists, movers, furniture builders, floor installers, electricians, and photographers to name a few. We handle the vetting, coordination and management of all these contractors for your project.
How long will you be onsite?
Depending on the size and complexity of the project we may be onsite for up to 7 days to oversee the entire installation, decorate, stage, and direct the photoshoot. Before this, we'll place and track all orders and coordinate with contractors like painters, muralists, and wallpaper installers to complete their work before our arrival.

As an investor myself, I know a little about what it feels like to launch a new property (in one of the most saturated industries right now, might I add!)
That said, I’ve been where you are and understand how it feels to stress about the sheer amount of money, time and energy it takes to setup a property that stands out in a crowded market and is PROFITABLE.
But can I let you in on a little interior design secret?
