frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an interior stylist and an interior designer?
An Interior stylist (aka interior decorator) offers space planning, furnishings and finishing touches to your home. This includes room decor plans, design concepts, decor sourcing, installation and clarity of your unique home style profile.
Interior stylists can consult you on renovation cosmetic finishes (i.e. hardware, tiles, paint colors), but do not create completed design or architectural plans for construction (TS would need to outsource concepts to a licensed architect for approval).
Tweaked Style offers design services for furnishings and custom carpentry built-ins.
How much should I budget to furnish my space?
Every home is different and every client has different needs and wants for decor including personal taste, custom decor, number of decor pieces needed and size of space. Cost of furnishing a room can range anywhere between $15 - $100 per SQ FT depending on client’s decor requests, amount of decor being repurposed and the existing space upgrades needed. A few things that add to the budget are custom/one-of-a kind decor, carpentry work, wall coverings (wallpaper/paint), focus on high-end quality, vintage furniture sourcing, custom window treatments and original large scale art. Tweaked Style works with our clients to set a budget prior to sourcing decor. Our clients always have the final approval for purchases. This does not include service fees, shipping, or decor installation fees.
How long does it take you to decorate a client’s home?
We don’t know the exact amount of time a project will take because every space is unique, but our average time for furnishing a room is a minimum 3 months. Styling takes more time if decor deliveries have a long lead time, there’s custom decor orders, multiple rooms are being styled at the same time, or if client delays decisions, communications and budgets. This does not account for renovation design time.
Do you offer hourly consulting services for decorating tips?
Definitely! We understand that sometimes you just need an expert consult to give you a little style assurance.
Not currently, but we love curating renovation material selections for you!
TS focuses primarily on quality decor plans and styled finishes.
Do you design kitchens and bathrooms for renovation?
Yes! We love outdoor spaces. Remember to book your project 9-12 months in advance of when you’d like your project complete, especially if you will need building permits (3-6 months for furnishings only).
Do you design outdoor patios and roof decks?
