Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here are the answers.

  • You'll send photos of your space along with information about your lighting, existing finishes, furnishings, and the look you're hoping to achieve. I'll review everything and create personalized paint color recommendations tailored specifically to your home. You'll receive a clear color plan designed to help you move forward with confidence and avoid costly paint mistakes.

  • Yes. In-home paint color consultations are available throughout the Baltimore area. During the consultation, we'll look at your home's natural and artificial lighting, existing finishes, and overall goals to select colors that work well in your space. If you're located outside the Baltimore area, virtual paint color consultations are available nationwide and provide the same personalized guidance.

  • Absolutely. Open floor plans often require a more thoughtful approach because multiple spaces are visible at the same time. The goal is to create a color palette that feels connected and cohesive while still giving each area its own identity. Since these projects typically involve more rooms and more decision-making, open floor plans are quoted separately.

  • The information needed depends on the service you choose. Most projects require photos, basic measurements, and details about your goals for the space. For paint color consultations, photos of flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and furnishings are especially helpful. For space planning and virtual design projects, floor plans and room measurements allow me to create recommendations that are tailored to your home.

  • A space planning consultation focuses on how your room functions and how furniture is arranged within the space. You'll receive recommendations for furniture placement, traffic flow, and ways to make the room feel more comfortable and functional. This service is ideal if your room feels awkward, crowded, or difficult to use. Please note that space planning focuses on furniture layouts and does not include architectural drawings or structural changes.

  • Not necessarily. Many clients already have pieces they love and simply need help arranging them or creating a more cohesive look. Whenever possible, I work with what you already own and recommend new pieces only when they help solve a specific problem or support the overall design plan.

  • Send me a message and describe what is going on with your space. I would rather help you figure out the right fit than have you book something that is not quite what you needed.

  • Space planning focuses specifically on the layout of your room and the placement of furniture. Virtual room design goes a step further by addressing the overall look and feel of the space. In addition to layout recommendations, virtual room design may include color direction, furniture and decor suggestions, styling guidance, and a shopping list to help you bring the design to life.

  • Many clients aren't sure where to start, and that's completely normal. If your biggest concern is choosing paint colors, a paint color consultation is usually the best first step. If your room feels awkward or isn't functioning well, space planning may be the right fit. If you're looking for guidance on the entire room, including color, layout, furnishings, and decor, virtual room design is likely the best option. If you're unsure, reach out and I'll help you determine which service makes the most sense for your project

  • Yes, and that's often the best approach. Paint colors should work with the elements that already exist in your home, such as flooring, countertops, cabinetry, furniture, and textiles. Rather than choosing a paint color in isolation, I look at the room as a whole to ensure the final selection complements everything around it.

  • Because each project involves reserving time on my calendar and preparing personalized recommendations, services are non-refundable once work has begun.

    If you need to reschedule your consultation, please contact me at least 48 hours in advance and I'll do my best to accommodate your request.

    My goal is always to provide thoughtful, personalized guidance and ensure you feel confident moving forward with your project. If you have questions about a service before booking, I'm happy to help determine whether it's the right fit for your needs.
