What Is Designer for a Day? 

Designer for a Day is our interior design consultation service built for clients who need expert guidance without a long-term commitment. In a single, highly productive session, your designer will work alongside you to prioritize goals, assess your space, and give you a concrete, actionable plan you can actually execute.

This is not a casual walkthrough. It’s a focused, professional consultation designed to cut through the overwhelm and give you clarity on layout, selections, and what to do next.

Each session includes up to 10 hours of dedicated designer time. The session begins with a prioritization meeting to understand your goals, followed by hands-on work in your space. You leave with a detailed plan, sourcing direction, and the confidence to move forward.

Pricing:
$4,000 per room

How Your Interior Design Consultation Works

Step 1: Book Your Discovery Call
Schedule a brief call so we can understand your goals, confirm your space is a good fit for Designer for a Day, and answer any questions before your session.

Step 2: Pre-Session Priorities Meeting
Before we arrive, we’ll connect to understand your top design goals, what is not working in the space, and what you want to walk away with. This ensures your time with the designer is focused from the first minute.

Step 3: Your Designer for a Day Session
Your designer arrives on-site for up to 10 hours of dedicated, hands-on consultation. Expect real guidance, honest feedback, and a clear direction forward.

Step 4: Your Design Action Plan
After your session, you receive a written plan summarizing priorities, sourcing recommendations, and next steps so you can move forward with confidence.
