There is a particular kind of relief that comes with handing something over to someone who knows exactly what to do with it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
You’ve felt it before. The right financial advisor. The right surgeon. You describe the situation, they ask the questions you didn’t know to ask, and then they handle it. You’re involved \u2014 but you’re not managing it. That’s their job. That’s what you hired them for.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
That’s what full-service design is supposed to feel like.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
If it hasn’t felt that way for you before, or if you’ve never worked with a designer and aren’t sure what you’re actually getting when you do \u2014 this is the post I’d want you to read first.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

We don’t hand you a shopping list<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n
There’s a version of interior design where a designer gives you a mood board, some vendor contacts, and a general direction \u2014 and then you execute it. You make the calls. You track the orders. You coordinate with the contractor. You follow up when the tile arrives damaged.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
At EH Design, full-service means we run the project. Every selection is made by us, presented to you for approval, and ordered by us. Every vendor relationship is ours to manage. Every lead time is on our radar before it becomes your problem. You make the decisions that are yours to make \u2014 what you love, what feels right, what fits how you live \u2014 and we handle everything else.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
You hired us so you wouldn’t have to become a project manager. We take that seriously.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
We start before you think we need to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n
The most valuable thing a designer can do on a new build or a remodel isn’t choosing the tile. It’s being in the room before the tile is even a conversation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
We get involved early \u2014 before floor plans are finalized, before permits are pulled, before a builder has been selected in some cases. We’re looking at the project the way a conductor looks at a score before the orchestra starts playing. Where are the decisions that have to happen first? What needs to be resolved before anything else can move forward? What are the lead times we need to be tracking from day one?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
By the time construction begins, every selection is complete. Every material is ordered. Every vendor knows what’s coming and when. The build runs cleaner because the design was finished before it started.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
That’s not an accident. It’s the process.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
We speak the language<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n
A new build or remodel involves a lot of people \u2014 the architect, the builder, the project manager, the site supervisor, the subcontractors, the vendors, the workroom. Each of them has their own timeline, their own terminology, and their own set of priorities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Part of what you’re hiring us for is fluency. We know how to talk to a builder about rough-in locations and how to talk to a plumbing about lead times and how to talk to a workroom about fabric yardage and repeat. We know which questions to ask and when to ask them. We know when something is a problem and when it’s just part of the process.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
You don’t have to translate between us and the rest of your team. That’s our job.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

We protect your investment<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n
Every decision in a design project has a cost implication \u2014 not just the obvious ones. The finish you choose affects the maintenance requirement. The layout affects the resale. The material affects how the room functions ten years from now.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
We think about all of it. Not because we’re trying to slow things down, but because the homes that hold their value \u2014 and their beauty \u2014 are the ones where every decision was made with intention rather than convenience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
We’re not here to give you a beautiful home for right now. We’re here to give you a home that’s still right in twenty years. That’s what luxury is actually supposed to mean.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
What you’re responsible for<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n
Your job in this process is to know what you love. To tell us how you live. To show up to the presentations we put in front of you and give us a clear yes or no. To trust that when we bring you a recommendation, we’ve already done the work to know it’s the right one.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
That’s it. Everything else is ours.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
The clients who have the best experience working with us are the ones who came in ready to hand it over \u2014 and then did. Not because they weren’t engaged. Because they understood that engagement doesn’t mean management. It means partnership.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
What full-service actually costs<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n
We charge a flat rate per square foot for full-service design. It covers everything \u2014 the process, the selections, the project management, the vendor coordination, the installations. No ambiguity about what’s included. You know what you’re investing before we begin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
For the clients we work with, the question has never really been whether to hire a designer. It’s been whether to hire the right one.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
We’d love to show you what that looks like.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
