A standing relationship with a designer for ongoing projects, refreshes and questions throughout the year.
Homes and businesses keep changing. A new season, a new baby, a new job or a new purchase can all call for design help. A design retainer gives you ongoing access to a designer who knows your space and style. Clients in Nashville use retainers for steady progress on large homes, rental portfolios and busy households.
We begin with a Free Estimate and agree on a monthly or seasonal rhythm that fits your needs. We keep a plan of your home and style, handle small projects, refreshes and purchases as they arise and schedule regular check-ins. You receive priority scheduling and a designer who already understands your preferences. A retainer makes design feel easy. Instead of starting over with each question, you work with someone who knows your home, your family and your style. We can plan seasonal refreshes, help you shop sales for planned purchases, coordinate repairs and keep a running list of upgrades. For landlords and small businesses, we can maintain a consistent look across properties or locations. The relationship grows more efficient and more personal over time, saving you effort and money. We also send a short seasonal checklist with ideas for refreshing rooms, rotating decor and planning upcoming purchases, so your home stays fresh without a large project each time.
