Interior Design Consultation NYC: Start Here

Curious about booking an interior design consultation in NYC, but not sure what actually happens? We’ve made the process simple, fast, and (dare we say?) fun.

No endless meetings, no cryptic hourly billing. Just a clear plan, expert guidance, and a stylish space you’ll love, delivered in as little as two weeks. Here’s how it works:

The Call That Starts It All

Your design journey begins with a complimentary phone or Zoom call. This is where you share your goals, ask questions, and choose the flat-fee plan that best fits your project. No pressure, no jargon, just clarity.

Once you’re booked, you’ll fill out our quick style questionnaire. Many clients come to us saying, “I don’t even know my style.” That’s okay. That’s where our custom quiz and questionnaire come in; they help uncover your aesthetic in minutes, so your designer has the insights to hit the ground running.

Your Design Session (NYC or Beyond)

Next comes the heart of your interior design consultation in NYC: the design session itself. If you’re local, you’ll meet your designer in person.

Not in the city? No worries, we do this virtually, too.

During your session, your designer creates a custom floor plan in real time. You’ll see your space reimagined right on the spot, whether it’s a tricky studio layout, a living room that needs better flow, or a bedroom begging for personality. Depending on your package, you’ll also get advice on paint, finishes, and styling details.

Think of it as design meets strategy: practical, collaborative, and instantly actionable.

The Two-Week Reveal

Roughly two weeks later, you’ll reconnect for a virtual reveal call. By then, your designer has sourced and curated everything you need:

  • A floor plan tailored to your space
  • A mood board that reflects your style
  • A clickable shopping list with direct links (and no markups)
  • Paint or styling suggestions, if your plan includes them

This isn’t a generic Pinterest board. It’s a personalized roadmap you can actually use to shop, style, and live beautifully, without spending hours scrolling online.

Options After Your Plan

Once you have your plan, you’re in control of how to bring it to life. Want to shop and style at your own pace? Go for it. Prefer us to handle the orders? Our optional shopping service makes it seamless: we purchase on your behalf, pass on our trade discounts, and never add markups.

For clients who want full support, overhaul packages include designer-managed installation and a final reveal moment (yes, just like on TV).

More Than Just Consultations

Depending on your needs, you can book:

  • Consult Plans: Focused advice for paint colors, finishes, or layout challenges.
  • Makeover Plans: Floor plans, mood boards, and shopping lists for one or multiple rooms.
  • Overhauls: Comprehensive redesigns with project management included.
  • Add-Ons: Extra rooms, gallery walls, wallpaper, handyman help, and more.
