Life is richer when you live in a space you love.
Our full-service interior design is a great choice if you’re ready for someone to handle your project from start to finish. We take on full home furnishing, new construction, and renovation projects.
This includes a kick-off meeting during the getting to know you phase, a comprehensive design plan, and an in-person design presentation of your completed space, as well as project and order management, site visits, installation, and styling.
The Design + Build method simplifies the entire process.
Improved collaboration reduces design changes and mistakes, leading to customization, innovation, and less time and material wasted.
Ultimately, this approach results in a smoother, higher quality deliverable with increased client satisfaction.
We are the central management source, saving time, money, and ensuring all needs and objectives are met within the schedule and budget.
Our process begins with an initial in-home consultation. During this meeting, we'll explore your space together, discussing your desires, lifestyle, and preferences. We'll also take preliminary measurements, photos, and discuss budget considerations before moving forward.
We thrive on bringing your dream home to life. Show us your inspiration through photos and boards, letting your creativity flow. With your space dimensions and design preferences in mind, we'll craft a to-scale floor, cabinetry, or furniture plan as the foundation for your new design.
Let's bring your dreams to life! With your to-scale plan as our guide, we carefully select each piece for your space, offering budget-friendly advice. For new constructions, we enhance aesthetics through color palettes and material selections.
We coordinate with all necessary parties to turn your dream into reality. From sourcing high-quality, unique products to loading up the Joyeux van, we swiftly transform your empty space into your dream home in just a matter of hours!

Design fees depend on the total cost of your project. In a smaller project, design fees can be around 10% of your total cost. The bigger the project, the smaller the percentage of the overall cost. In a larger project, design fees can be as little as 2% to 4% of your total cost.
The best way to think of interior design costs is as a percentage of your project cost. This will provide a budget to start the conversation with. Of course it can vary depending on the complexity of the design, how efficiently decisions are made and how many rounds of revisions are required.
Phase 1 - Initial consult - up to 2 hours (information gathering session)
Phase 2 - Conceptual Design and Preconstruction estimates - typically about 1-2 + months to create and gather estimates
Phase 3 - Detail Planning and designs - typically 1-2 + months refine the design and about 1 month to gather accurate construction quotes
Phase 4 - Build – most renovations take about 8-12 weeks depending on size and complexity. Note this timeline is based on selections finalized and product ordered and available prior to starting the renovations. New builds typically start at 9 months for construction and more complex and large homes take min 1 year +. Note this timeline is based on selection finalized and product ordered and available before construction starts.
