A thoughtfully designed home is both a creative and financial commitment. Whether furnishing multiple rooms or undertaking a full renovation, planning for the appropriate level of investment allows for layered, enduring results that reflects your home’s architecture, your lifestyle, and the level of craftsmanship required to execute it beautifully.

 

Below are general guidelines to help you plan realistically and confidently.

​

Full-home and Multi-Room Transformations

Investment is guided by the overall vision for the home and the level of detail, craftsmanship, and customization desired.

​

For larger, comprehensive home transformations, investment frequently ranges between $300,000 and $600,000+, particularly when multiple rooms, custom millwork, bespoke upholstery, window treatments, and detailed styling are included.

​

For more focused furnishing projects involving select rooms, clients often invest in the $200,000–$300,000 range, depending on scope.

​

Individual rooms typically begin around $35,000+, with kitchens and primary spaces requiring greater investment.

During our discovery process, we work closely with clients to refine scope and ensure alignment between vision and budget.

​

Design Fees

Design fees are determined based on scope, complexity, and level of involvement. For planning purposes, clients should anticipate design fees representing approximately 20–22% of the overall project investment.

This reflects the comprehensive design leadership, documentation, procurement oversight, and project management required to execute a cohesive and fully realized home.

​

Renovations

Renovation investments vary widely based on spatial conditions, structural needs, finish selections, and bespoke elements. The following ranges offer a planning framework for high-quality, design-driven work:

​

• Kitchen renovations: $400–$700+ per square foot

• Primary bathroom renovations: $300–$550+ per square foot

​

These figures reflect typical ranges for projects involving custom cabinetry, premium stone, specialty finishes, and performance-grade appliances. Final investment will depend on scope and selections.

​

We also recommend setting aside a 20–25% contingency within your renovation budget to accommodate unforeseen conditions that may arise during construction.

​

Planning Thoughtfully

Investment planning is not simply about what you are willing to spend, but about aligning scope with long-term value. Thoughtful budgeting ensures that renovations enhance both daily living and overall home value without overextending or underbuilding.
