WHERE FUNCTION AND STYLE MEET
From interior design consultation on new construction and large-scale remodels to finding the perfect pieces for a room refresh, we have a design plan that works for you. Our staff of interior design experts and furniture professionals aims to make the process approachable and fun with results that will exceed your expectations.
Our interior design consultations generally fall into two categories.
INTERIOR DESIGN CONSULTATION
For clients working on remodels or new builds that also have a need for furnishings, art or accessories from Mix Home Mercantile.
Our initial consultation meeting is free of charge if you bring design inspiration images, builder plans and photos, and measurements of your space to us at Mix Home Mercantile. Our designers can also schedule a time to meet with you in your home to take photos and measurements for a fee of $150. Your total hourly design fee will be determined after the initial consultation meeting and is based on scope of your project and specific needs. For hourly design fees, a credit of $1,000 from your design fee will be applied to every $10,000 spent on Mix Home merchandise.
FURNITURE CONSULTATION
For clients seeking our designer’s input to select furniture.
Email us photos and dimensions of your space or pay our flat fee of $150 for one of our experts to come to your home to take measurements and photos. Once we receive this information, our team will curate your space at a rate of $500 per room. Our room designs include a floor plan and mood board, showing how our furniture selections will fit in your space. For per room furniture design fees, this $500 charge will be credited back for every $5,000 spent on Mix Home merchandise.
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
YOUR TASTE + OUR EXPERTISE
The approachable design team at Mix Home Design Studio creates refreshingly modern and timelessly classic interiors for residential and select commercial new builds and remodels. We thrive on developing lasting client relationships and strive to capture your personal style through thoughtful collaboration.
We’d love to design with you! The first step for new clients is to complete our New Client Questionnaire. Once submitted, we will review your answers and be in touch within a week or two to schedule an initial meeting.
Please note: Due to high demand and full schedules, we currently have a 15-45 day wait list for new clients, depending on the scope of your project.
