Hiring an interior designer does not need to be a mystery and transparency is one of our core values which is demonstrated throughout our design process. Working with an interior designer can be (and should be!) stress free, and enjoyable. Along with creating beautiful spaces, they can assist with defining project scopes, developing timelines, creating budgets and providing tradespeople recommendations to help ensure that no detail is overlooked. Their expertise can be used in new builds and renovations as well as curation of floor plans and furnishings. If you are unsure if you need an interior designer, don’t hesitate to reach out – we would love to hear from you!

The first course of action is for you to fill out our contact form. This give us enough information to understand your project and how we will best be able to assist you. From here we like to set up a time to meet over a coffee or cocktail. We want to get to know you, and you us- to ensure we are the right fit. Following this, we do an in home (ideally) consultation to discuss all design aspects including timeline, budget, and desired scope. This allows us to create a personalized design proposal. In this proposal you will find the complete scope of work, and estimated timeline and budget. With every project, we collect a retainer which is then applied to any accrued design hours – the retainer amount is determined by the project scope. Once the proposal is approved, and retainer is collected we are ready to move forward.

Every project scope is different which means every cost will be different. The first phase of our design process is executed in a way that we are able to gather all of the information on your project to then present you with a design proposal. This proposal will outline the full scope of the project, timeline, and the total estimated project cost. This way everyone is united on these expectations once the project kicks off.

The complete scope of work will determine the project timeline. In our experience, furniture procurement and renovations are completed in 7-12+ months and new construction projects are a year minimum.

Absolutely, we encourage them! Collaboration is one of our favorite parts of the design process. As designers we work closely with you each step of the way to create a curated design that feels personalized to both your individual aesthetic and your functional needs. Our goal in every project is to design a space that genuinely reflects our clients perspectives and lifestyle infused with Park Nine’s characteristic style. 

Every design project is unique so we charge hourly based on the amount of time spent working. This is typically $150/hour but can vary depending on the project and scope. Following the end of phase one you will be presented with a design proposal. This proposal will outline overall budget, scope of work, timeline and projected design hours, so you will understand all associated details and costs. We are committed to full transparency with our clients so hours are billed biweekly with a detailed description of what is being worked on.

We are always looking for ways to give back to our community. If you are working with an organization in need of design services or a consultation don’t hesitate to reach out – we would love to hear from you!

Absolutely not! We work with clients across the US. If you have an international project we would love to hear from you and see how we could work together.
