Good design. Straightforward from the start.

There are different ways to work with Chic, depending on your home, your project, and how much help you need.

What doesn’t change is how we work. You pay us for our time, ideas, and expertise. Furniture, fixtures, and materials are purchased at cost, with our industry pricing passed directly to you and no hidden markups.

We’ll be clear about what we recommend, what things cost, and where we think your money is worth spending. And when it isn’t? We’ll tell you that too.

You don’t need to know which service you need before you call. Tell us what’s going on, and we’ll help you figure out where to start.

Initial Consultation.

A good place to start.

An hour in your home with a Chic designer to talk through what’s working, what isn’t, and whatever questions are on your mind.

Maybe that’s all you need. Maybe it turns into something more. Either way, you’ll get our perspective, answers to your questions, and a better idea of what makes sense from here.

$300

Pricing may vary outside our local area.

À La Carte Design.

More help, when the project calls for it.

For projects that need more than a consultation but don’t need us involved from beginning to end, à la carte gives you dedicated time with your Chic designer.

Selections, layouts, furnishings, finishes, sourcing, or just having someone there to help make the decisions as everything comes together. We’ll agree on the scope before we begin, so you know how your time will be used and what to expect.

$195 per hour, 25-hour minimum. Travel and design time are included.

Flat-Rate Design.

For the bigger picture.

Renovations, new homes, and larger projects come with a lot of decisions. And very few of them happen in isolation.

With flat-rate design, your Chic designer is there throughout the project: establishing the direction, coordinating selections, working with contractors and suppliers, solving problems, and making sure all of those individual decisions actually work together.

The fee is based on the size and scope of your project and agreed upon before we begin. You pay contractors and suppliers directly, and furniture, fixtures, and materials are purchased at cost without hidden markups.

Paint Color Consultation

Sometimes, it really is just the paint.

In this focused 90-minute consultation, Amanda Patella helps you choose colors that work with your light, furnishings, finishes, adjoining spaces, and the rest of your home.

You’ll leave with a clear color plan, ready for you or your painter.
