Styling & finishing

Let’s knit together the existing pieces you love with new items to create one cohesive design.

This service focuses on that final layer—wall art, rugs, lighting, coffee table styling, sofa pillows—those finishing touches that make a room feel complete.

Making Your Pieces Work Together

You've got the couch, the coffee table, maybe even the rug—but something's still off. The pieces don't quite talk to each other yet. This is where we bridge those gaps. By adding the right layers and connecting what you already have with thoughtfully chosen additions, we create a room that finally feels pulled together instead of pieced together.

A Simple, Approachable Process

Every project is different, but the process stays simple and collaborative. I provide the expertise, detailed plans, and ongoing support—while you stay in control of your timeline, decisions, and budget. It's design partnership that keeps you at the center of your project, not on the sidelines.
