Kansas City Interior Decorator FAQs & Pricing Answers

In Missouri, the title "interior designer" is a legally regulated designation that often involves architectural remodeling, moving load-bearing walls, structural drawings, and permitting. We are professional residential interior decorators and stylists.

We focus on what brings warmth and personality into your space: custom furniture, vintage and antique sourcing, spatial flow, paint color palettes, lighting, rugs, window drapery, and art placement. There is zero demolition, zero drywall dust, and zero construction delays.

We believe in upfront, transparent pricing:

• Design Fees: Start at $2,500 per room for spatial planning, 2D concept boards, 2 rounds of revisions, and full styling day coordination.
• Furnishings Budget: We recommend a minimum furnishings investment of $5,000 per room all-in.
• Sourcing Transparency: All vintage finds and retail items are billed transparently at wholesale/acquisition cost plus our stated sourcing fee.

Full-room decorating typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from your initial discovery call to final reveal day. Because we hunt for authentic vintage and antique anchors across estate sales and regional dealers rather than ordering flat-pack copies, this unhurried timeframe guarantees extraordinary results.

Yes, absolutely. A well-collected home should celebrate your personal history. During our in-home consultation, we catalog your favorite heirloom furniture, art, and sentimental objects, designing the overall room concept around them.

Every vintage piece undergoes rigorous inspection for joinery tightness, frame alignment, and solid wood stability. We thoroughly clean, sanitize, recondition dry wood with natural waxes or oils, and coordinate custom reupholstery with high-performance fabrics when needed.

Because authentic estate sale and antique discoveries are unique and non-returnable, we provide high-resolution photos, detailed condition notes, dimensions, and total pricing for your review and written approval before we make the purchase. Once approved, vintage selections are final sale.

Our service areas include Brookside, Waldo, Crestwood, Hyde Park, Plaza, Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, Mission Hills, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Parkville, Independence, Blue Springs, and Kansas City KS.

Yes! While many clients choose to decorate their entire main floor, we frequently take on single rooms such as a primary living room, formal dining room, den, home office, or bedroom suite.
