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.
We’ll begin by aligning on your style vision for the space, then I’ll put together a styling and finishing plan. This plan includes design boards, product links, any installation information and more.
Like my Design Plan service, the Homeowner is in charge of bringing the plan to life as their schedule and budget allow.
Yes. I always source with your budget in mind and typically mix more affordable finds with quality investment pieces to create a balanced plan. No matter the budget, my goal is to help you get the best possible look for what you're comfortable spending. If you have specific budget parameters, just let me know upfront and I'll design accordingly.
Absolutely! That's exactly what this service is designed for. I love incorporating pieces you already have and building the design around them to create one cohesive look.
Your home, your rules. If there's a piece you love, we'll find a way to make it work or I'll help you understand why it might be holding the room back. But the final call is always yours.
Design Plans are for complete room makeovers—new furniture, layouts, the whole thing. Styling & Finishing is for rooms where the foundational pieces (sofa, dining table, bed) are already in place, and you just need help with that final layer to pull it all together.
Yes! As long as you can provide photos and measurements, we can work together no matter where you're located.
Most styling plans take 2-3 weeks from start to delivery, depending on how quickly we can align on direction and make any needed revisions.
I'll provide detailed installation guidance in your plan, and I'm happy to recommend trusted professionals if you need someone to help with execution.
