Frequently Asked Questions
How can coaching work if you can’t see my home in person?
As experts with over a decade of experience, we have solved every manner of dilemma (it takes a lot to surprise us!) and we are also accustomed to looking at spaces online. This means that we can solve many problems without ever setting foot in your place.
For example, in a recent phone conversation with a client, she proposed to use Lexicon White paint colour on the wall. We were able to advise her that this colour is a cold white with blue tones and was not going to achieve the warm home she wanted, so the mistake (and associated time and expense of fixing it) was avoided. That’s the benefit of coaching!
What does 1-on-1 Decorating Coaching cost?
We are confident that your investment in a Coaching Session(s) will be equal to or less than the amount you will save with our advice. Simply choosing the right size sofa for your home can save you thousands of dollars! And that is just one decision in a room full of many.
To fit a variety of needs, we offer two pricing options. A single Coaching Session is $400, while our 6-Session package is $1,500 and can be used within 6-12 months at your pace.
How do I know if 1 or 6 Coaching Sessions are right for me?
If you feel stuck on a particular design dilemma or unsure which next step is best for moving your project forward, a single Coaching Session can give you the clarity and confidence you need to proceed. If you want long-term support, decorating help, and maybe even some accountability to take your project all the way to completion, 6-sessions is the way to go.
Do I need to have a specific decorating budget to work with you?
No. We have experience working at a variety of budget levels and can give you the best advice for maximising your investment for your decorating goals.
How do I know if 1-on-1 Coaching will work for me?
If you have been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, indecisive, or eager for advice you can trust, coaching is right for you. In fact, we are so confident it works that we will refund or redo the session if you aren’t satisfied.
What if I don’t get coaching for my decorating project?
This is what we have seen and heard from our clients…
Procrastinating or saying “someday I’ll do it” usually results in years of suffering the conflicting advice of friends and family. You will likely spend more time and money on items that don’t create the look and feel you imagine. (This is when we usually get called in to fix it.) The combined disappointment is often so exhausting that time passes by and you may never achieve your forever home. This is heartbreaking!
You deserve to live your life in beauty, peace, comfort, and pride, and even small yet consistent steps can help you get there. This is why coaching is so powerful and life-changing.
