Begin your project
A thoughtful way forward
Good design begins before anything is selected. It begins with listening—to the house, to everyday life and to the things that already mean something.

Flow, function, feeling and the pieces worth keeping.
Before the first selection
Paige’s interior design process for Downers Grove, Chicagoland and virtual projects is personal by design. The exact path changes with the service and the home, but every project begins by listening.
The journey
Know what is being considered, why it matters and what comes next—without pressure to have everything figured out before you begin.
Share your home
Tell Paige about the rooms, routines and unfinished questions already on your mind. You do not need every answer.
Goals, location, timing and approximate investment shape the first recommendation.Meet in your home
A 90-minute working consultation uncovers how the home feels today, how you want to live and where the greatest opportunities may be.
The in-home consultation is $300. Continue into full-service design within 14 days and the fee is credited toward your design fee.Define the direction
If continued support feels right, Paige outlines the recommended service, priorities and tailored scope.
The pace and deliverables reflect the rooms and support involved.Design & decide
Layouts, furnishings, color, materials, lighting and the pieces you already love become one connected story.
Each recommendation is presented with context.Bring it home
Selections, placement, styling or implementation move the design toward a home that feels cohesive, useful and personal.
The final layer belongs to the people living there.
What the process protects
The home should feel recognizably yours, not like a designer’s signature placed over it.
Furniture, art and vintage finds can become part of the direction rather than an obstacle to it.
Comfort, circulation, storage, children, pets and durability belong in the design conversation.
Throughout the work
Thoughtful communication is part of the design—so each decision feels connected to the home taking shape.
Recommendations are explained in context, with the next decision made visible.
Your priorities remain part of the work as the design becomes more detailed.
Individual choices are considered together so the finished rooms feel naturally connected.
Your first step can be simple
Share a little about your home, the questions already on your mind and where you hope to begin.
No need to choose a service first. Every enquiry is personally reviewed by Paige.
