INTERIOR DESIGN FEE STRUCTURE
-
Design shouldn’t feel uncertain. With hourly billing, there are too many variables — pace, experience, efficiency — all of which can change the final number and create unnecessary stress.
At Curated Home, we prefer clarity.
We operate with a flat-rate design fee structure so you know exactly what your investment will be from the beginning. No surprises, no hidden costs — just transparency and peace of mind.
Over a decade of experience means more than refined taste — it means deep industry knowledge, trusted relationships with exceptional trades, and the ability to navigate the complexities of a build or renovation with confidence.
Naturally, seasoned expertise carries a higher rate, as it should. It reflects the skill, insight, and mastery required to guide your project smoothly and thoughtfully from vision to completion.
Once we’ve completed an on-site consultation or reviewed your pre-build plans, we provide a tailored flat-rate proposal for your project.
Clear. Considered. Designed to support your journey with ease.

Our clients are thoughtful, busy, and discerning — and we honour their time by ensuring every meeting is meaningful, efficient, and grounded in clarity.
To support a smooth and structured design process, each project begins with a clearly defined meeting cadence. This gives you a sense of rhythm from the start and ensures you always know what to expect as your project unfolds.
For full-home builds or large-scale renovations, twenty or more design meetings is not uncommon as we move through the layers of visioning, selections, and refinement. Smaller furnishing projects may require only a handful of sessions. The number is never arbitrary — it’s shaped by the scope of work and the level of detail your project deserves.
Much of the value we bring happens behind the scenes: curating with intention, coordinating with trades, refining details long before they reach your hands. The meetings themselves are the moments where we align, present, adjust, and ensure the project continues to move with momentum and clarity.
By establishing a schedule that reflects the scope of work, we create a gentle but effective structure of accountability — ensuring decisions are made in a timely way so your project stays on track, and so every phase builds gracefully into the next.

Every project is held with depth, discernment, and seasoned expertise.
With over a decade of experience, we’ve learned that the right guidance can save clients both time and costly missteps — especially in the early phases where even a single decision can influence the entire project.
At Curated Home, every detail is thoughtfully considered and overseen with care. From construction decisions to fine finishes, you’ll have a trusted expert ensuring your vision is protected and elevated at every turn.
While we always honour our clients’ preferences, we also bring clear, grounded direction when desired. If decision-making ever becomes overwhelming, we gently guide you toward choices that align with your home, your lifestyle, and the feeling you want to cultivate.
You hired a designer for a reason — to feel supported, confident, and at ease.
Our role is to ensure your project unfolds with clarity, coherence, and excellence from start to finish.

A beautifully executed home is never the result of chance — it’s the result of thoughtful orchestration, skilled coordination, and a team who handles every detail with intention.
Our white glove project management ensures your design is not only envisioned with clarity, but brought to life with the same level of care. From coordinating trusted trades to overseeing installations, deliveries, and finishing touches, we manage the moving pieces so you can experience the process with ease.
Every element — from millwork to furnishings to the final layer of styling — is handled with precision. We oversee your project with a discerning eye, ensuring that the integrity of your design is honoured at every step and that no detail is ever overlooked.
Our goal is simple: for you to walk into your newly designed space and feel a sense of clarity, beauty, and deep exhale — the feeling of coming home to something that was crafted just for you.
-
At the heart of every meaningful project is genuine connection. The design journey is intimate — you’re inviting someone into the rhythm of your life, your story, and the way you dream of living. Because of this, choosing the right designer isn’t simply about expertise; it’s about resonance.
Before any commitment, we take time to connect and sense whether the partnership feels aligned. A well-matched designer–client relationship creates ease, clarity, and joy throughout the process. When there is trust, chemistry, and mutual respect, every decision becomes lighter, every step more grounded.
Our role is to truly see you — to understand the way you live, what you value, and how you want your home to feel. When we attune to that essence, the design unfolds naturally. You’re not just another project; you’re the keeper of a story we’re honoured to help shape.
A beautiful home begins long before the first sample is chosen. It begins with connection.
If this resonates and you feel drawn to explore further, we would love to connect.
