Frequently Asked

A few common questions.

Where are you based and who do you work with?

The studio is based in the north suburbs of Chicago (Wauconda, IL). We work in-person with homeowners locally and serve clients across the country virtually through e-design.

What is a 3D rendering and why does it matter?

A photorealistic 3D rendering is a picture of your future space, made before any of it is built or purchased. It removes the guesswork from layout, finishes, lighting, and scale — and saves clients real money by catching changes before construction.

What's the difference between White Glove, Hands-On, and E-Design?

White Glove is full-service: we handle purchasing, receiving, delivery, and install. Hands-On gives you the plan and selections, and you execute. E-Design is a fully remote service delivering a shoppable room plan with direct purchase links.

Do you take on small projects?

Yes. The Refreshing service exists for paint colors, floor stains, and small refreshes. If you’re unsure whether your project warrants a designer, the discovery call is the right starting point.

How long does a project take?

It depends on scope, selections, and lead times. The studio is known for speed and clear, responsive communication.
