A fun + effective new take on Interior Design Consulting

Ever wish you had a personal designer just for the day?

Expert Advice When You Need It Most.

Our Design Bites Service allows you to stay completely involved in the design process, yet have a design professional guide you along the way.

By the end of our time together, the goal is to have:

  • Decisions made

  • Selections established

  • Items sourced

TYPES OF BITES.

  • SHOP.

    Shopping days. So Fun.

    Visiting showrooms and shops, we make selections + you make purchases (in real-time). We can go together or we can do it for you. In-person or online.

    Some things we can shop for: Furniture, Fabric, Art, Lighting, Tile, Stone, Rugs

    ▫️

    Product Focus

  • DESIGN.

    In-home or virtual design session.

    Focusing on areas you need help with most + bringing your ideas into focus. We help you arrive at decisions, guiding you toward what works + avoiding what doesn’t.

    Focus examples: Spatial Planning, Renovation, Style Development, Fabric + Furniture, Sourcing

    ▫️

    Brainstorm Focus

  • RENOVATE.

    You have a contractor + a boatload of ideas.

    The contractor is asking for material selections: types of tile, countertops, cabinet door style, grout colors … the list goes on. And on.

    You want to make the best decisions for style, quality + investment. That’s where we come in.

What People Are Saying

“My biggest regret was not involving Drea sooner.

I spent months laboring over the possible options before I reached out to her.

After just 3 hours together I had so much more clarity and direction and had gained the confidence to make decisions.”

— Lucy S. ▫️ Design Bite Client

“I was able to walk away from my Design Bite session with a plan and a shopping list of what to order.

It's the exact thing I had been struggling with in terms of indecision and where to go / what to buy.”

— Lauren H. ▫️ Design Bite Client

“The value far outweighs the costs.

Dréa + her team are lightning fast. We got to the finish line With so much accomplished + way faster than me doing it alone.

I felt such relief because it was getting done correctly the 1st time.”

—Margot W. ▫️ Design Bite Client

FAQs

  • During our call + initial meeting, we discussed what would likely be achievable. Our initial working meeting allowed us to get clear on your top priorities for your session. If we do not finish everything there are a few options:

    • Purchase another Design Bites session

    • Purchase Design Time (55min)

    • Purchase Beyond The Bite (10hr)

    If you are unsure, please reach out to us for guidance before booking.

  • Drawings are not provided during our Design Bites session. You can potentially add those on later.

    If you decided to do a Drawing Add-on, hourly rates would apply.

    Another site visit may be required to obtain dimensions or you can supply them to the design team.

  • I am able to bring a small amount of samples based on the nature of your design session including paint, fabrics, wallpaper, and some hard surfaces.

    Items like stone can be viewed online for design direction.

    A separate Design Bite can be purchased to visit a stone yard + see these types of samples together in person.

  • Please do not invite guests to our session. The only people who should join and participate are you and your partner/spouse.

  • No. The Design Bite fee is for our time and years of expertise. Due to the nature of this intangible service, we cannot offer refunds.

  • We get it, life happens to all of us. Due to the limited # of offerings per month, rescheduling is acceptable with a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice.

    Your scheduled services cannot be gifted to other people.

  • Due to the nature of the Design Bites service, we cannot commit to acting as a project manager.

    We can certainly meet your contractors and trade professionals with you. This can be done during future Design Bite or Beyond The Bite Sessions.

    If you would like someone to do the heavy lifting of managing contractors, we recommend our full-service design offerings instead.

  • Discounts is a dirty word in our industry. Designers receive trade pricing and are considered "retailers without the storefront".

    Either way, due to the nature of the Design Bite service, extending our trade pricing is not applicable.
