Three Popular Ways to Use Designer for a Day
Every Designer for a Day session is fully customized to your home, your priorities, and the decisions you need help making. Some clients use the time for broad design guidance across multiple spaces, while others prefer to focus deeply on one specific project.
1.
Full Home Design Guidance & Decision-Making
Perfect if you have multiple rooms or lots of decisions to make.
Use your session as a focused working meeting to walk through your home, talk through challenges, and get expert guidance on what to do next. We can discuss layout, furnishings, paint colors, finishes, lighting, styling, and more.
This option is ideal if you want clarity, direction, and a clear plan for moving forward.
You’ll walk away with:
-
Expert design advice tailored to your home
-
Clear recommendations and next steps
-
Help prioritizing projects and decisions
-
Confidence in your design choices
2.
Styling & Finishing Touches
Perfect if your larger furniture pieces are in place, but something still feels unfinished.
Sometimes a home doesn’t need major changes—it just needs the right styling, layering, and finishing touches to bring everything together.
We’ll work with what you already own and identify what to move, remove, add, or style differently to create a more polished, cohesive look.
This may include:
-
Styling shelves, built-ins, consoles, and coffee tables
-
Rearranging furniture or accessories
-
Improving flow and visual balance
-
Recommendations for finishing pieces if needed
Perfect for creating that pulled-together, designer-finished feel.
3.
One Room Design
Perfect if you want to fully focus on one room or project.
This is a more comprehensive, highly focused session centered around one space—such as a living room, bedroom, kitchen, or primary suite.
We can dive deeper into layout, design direction, materials, furnishings, and styling. Depending on your project, this may include inspiration boards, concept images, specific product recommendations, or even shopping together in-store or online.
Great for clients who want to make real progress on one important space.
This may include:
-
Space planning and layout
-
Design direction and style refinement
-
Specific furniture or decor recommendations
-
Product sourcing and shopping guidance
Designer for a Day Process
Prior to your session, you’ll complete a detailed Personal Design Profile and send photos of your home along with inspiration images that bring you joy. This allows our team to begin the creative process in advance and ensures your designer arrives fully prepared to make the most of your day.
By the end of our time together, you will have clarity around your priorities, confidence in your next steps, and a cohesive direction for moving your home forward.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
WITH A DESIGNER-FOR-A-DAY
Designer for a Day is a highly personalized, focused working session designed around your home, your questions, and the decisions that will make the biggest difference.
During our time together, you can expect:
• An experienced interior designer answering your questions, giving personalized recommendations, and sharing practical expertise
• Ideas you may not have considered that make a meaningful difference in how your home looks and works
• Practical solutions that work within your budget, lifestyle, and priorities
• Concrete sizing guidance on furniture, rug, décor, lighting, etc.
For example: “A 9' x 12' rug will fit best here,” or “This sofa should be approximately this length.”
• A logical, practical approach to decorating and updating your home
• A cohesive design direction that helps your home feel intentional, beautiful, and like you
• Clear “rules” to follow—or break with intention
• More confidence in the choices ahead, with less overwhelm and more excitement
• A vision for your home and a practical plan for moving forward
• Access to trusted tradespeople, installers, and resources when needed
• Access to wholesale pricing on flooring, cabinetry, and more when applicable
• Up to 5 hours of focused design time
Every session is customized. Some clients need big-picture direction for multiple rooms, while others want to focus deeply on one project, such as a kitchen refresh, bathroom update, or furniture plan.
At the end of our session, you will have notes that you take (feel free to record it) to reference as you move forward. Depending on the project and how we use our time, you may also receive a mood board, concept images, or select product and material links.
A detailed written design report is available for an additional fee for clients who would like their recommendations organized into a more formal document.
