A considered
menu.
Four ways to work together, from a single styled room to a renovation managed in your stead. Every engagement is led by Cacau, and the fee is set out before we begin.
Styled Room
A single day of considered styling — rugs, art, bedding, table objects and the small decor that lifts a room. No furniture rearrangement, no structural work; just the finish.
- What's included
- Sourcing & procurement of decor on your behalf
- Rugs, art, lamps, textiles, ceramics, small accents
- One full styling & install day on site
- Photograph-ready styling of existing pieces
- Returns coordination for anything that doesn't land
Full-Service Design
The whole of it, held by us. We plan, specify, buy, coordinate the trades and style the install — you approve twice and move back in.
- What's included
- Discovery, brief & two concept directions
- Space planning, elevations & joinery drawings
- Full material, lighting & furniture specification
- Trade coordination & site visits
- Procurement & logistics handled on your behalf
- Final styling, install day & reveal
E-Design Packages
Custom design with the flexibility of remote communication. You measure and photograph; we deliver a complete plan and shopping list on a timeline that suits you.
Renovation Management
We hold the drawings, the trades and the calendar. Weekly site presence, one point of contact, and decisions made before they become delays.
- What's included
- Weekly site visits & written site reports
- Trade scheduling & contractor liaison
- Drawing set maintenance & change orders
- Finish sign-off & snag list to completion
Not sure which fits? Start an inquiry and the first question does the sorting.
Five quiet stages.
One point of contact from the first note to the last cushion, and a decision at a time.
We're the right studio if…
- You plan to live in this home for years, not stage it for a sale.
- You want one person accountable for the design, the trades and the budget.
- You like rooms that look lived-in on a Tuesday, not only in photographs.
- You'd rather make two good decisions than forty small ones.
We're probably not if…
- You want a room copied from a photo you already have.
- The timeline is fixed before the scope is.
Before you write.
How do we start?
Start an inquiry. We read every one and reply within two business days. If it's a fit, we find a half hour to talk, then send a proposal with flat fees and dates before anything is committed.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. E-Design Packages run anywhere in the U.S. In person, we work across New Jersey and New York.
How long does a full home take?
Three to six months for a full-service project, depending on construction. A styled room takes two to three weeks; an e-design package two to six, by tier.
Do you take on renovations?
Yes. Full-Service Design carries a renovation from concept to install. If the build is already underway, Renovation Management puts a designer on site weekly.
What is your style?
Yours, made legible. We don't impose a house look; we work out the one you already live in, and we buy through trade accounts so the pieces you can't find arrive without the markup.
What if you're not the right studio for us?
We'll say so kindly and point you somewhere better. A room copied from a photo you already have, or a timeline fixed before the scope is, is better served elsewhere, and we'd rather tell you in week one.
A designer on site.
We work alongside builders and architects on projects already in motion, and with realtors whose clients need a home finished before or after a sale. Renovation Management is usually where it starts: weekly site presence, a maintained drawing set, and finish decisions made before they become delays. Referrals are handled personally, and quietly.
