What are some Design Strategy Session example questions?

Typically we're able to review a couple of these in a session! We recommend creating a priority list, and we will get through as many as we can.

  • I want my space to look and feel better. Where do I start?!

  • My layout isn't working well. How can I make my space function better?

  • I'd like to transition to a different style, but what should I buy first?

  • How can I make my space feel beautiful and inspiring?

  • What vintage/antique piece would work well here? How much should I expect to spend?

  • I'm moving to a new house — what furniture should I keep and where should I put everything?

  • What should I do with this weird space?

  • Can you help me create a quick mood board to see colors and styles together?

  • What size and type of rug should I buy?

  • Can we find a few options for this particular piece of furniture?

  • Where should I hang my art?

  • How should I style my shelves to make them look amazing?

How do I prepare for my in-person Design Strategy and Styling Session?

  • Create a priority list of things to discuss and review in order of importance.

  • If the focus of your session will be styling — you can shop at local stores and buy pieces you love and that might work well in your space. With these items laid out before our session, I will work to incorporate them into your space.

  • Purchase greenery from or forage a pile of large cut greens or flowers from your yard that we can use to style with

  • Create a wishlist of any items or elements you definitely want to be included in the space, as well as note any current items you'd potentially like to utilize in the design.

Can you provide advice for my remodel project during our session?

During our session, we discuss everything that does not require construction. We discuss furniture, accessories, light fixtures, and paint colors, but we don’t provide advice for interior design construction elements such as flooring, cabinets, countertops, and architectural elements that require a contractor. We know many amazing interior designers and are happy to connect you to some!
