Your questions, answered abut Partners in Design

Almost anything design-related — space planning, furniture selection, finish choices, paint colour guidance, sourcing recommendations, contractor meeting support, and more. Think of it as having a designer in your corner for whatever you need most. We'll establish a plan of action at the start so your hours are used with intention.

Absolutely — Partners in Design works beautifully alongside an active renovation. If you already have a contractor in place, we step in as your design expert — guiding finish selections, on-site decisions, and keeping everything visually cohesive. For full project management and trade coordination from start to finish, Full-Service Design would be the better fit.

Full-Service Design is a fully managed, end-to-end experience — we handle everything from Trade Day through to Reveal Day. Partners in Design is more collaborative and flexible. You're in the driver's seat; we're your expert passenger. It's ideal for clients who want professional guidance without handing over full control of the project.

Your 10 hours are purchased as a block and used as needed across your project. We track time transparently and keep you updated so there are no surprises. Additional blocks can be purchased if your project grows — we'll discuss timing and pacing at your consultation.

Both — and that flexibility is one of the things our clients love most about this service. We can meet in your home, at the studio, or connect virtually depending on what the task calls for. Studio hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm, with evenings and weekends available by appointment.

Yes — additional 10-hour blocks can be purchased as your project evolves. We'll let you know well in advance when you're approaching the end of your block so there's no interruption to your momentum.
