When Should I Hire an Interior Designer?

Ideally, an interior designer should be your first call when planning a renovation or redesign. Bringing us in early allows us to anticipate potential issues, prevent costly mistakes, and avoid unnecessary expenses down the line.

An interior designer is also your strongest advocate—keeping contractors on schedule, holding vendors accountable, and ensuring your project runs smoothly. We manage the details so you can enjoy a cohesive, customized design solution with confidence.


What Types of Design Projects Do You Specialize In?

We specialize in full-service, design-build residential interiors, offering a true turn-key approach. Our services include, but are not limited to:

  • Whole-home remodels

  • Ground-up construction

  • Single-room renovations such as kitchens, bedrooms, and basements

We also design specialized spaces, including in-home gyms, closets, laundry rooms, home theatres, and dressing rooms. Architectural details and custom millwork are thoughtfully considered in every project.


What’s Your Style?

At E.L.P. Designs, we love working with clients who have clear goals for their space and are open to exploring unique design elements. Whether your style is antique, modern, traditional, transitional, or industrial—your style is our style.

Our clients understand that expert interior design is a worthwhile investment, creating a sanctuary that supports and enhances their busy lives.


How Do You Charge for Your Time?

Our creative design services are billed at an hourly rate throughout the project. A detailed fee structure is discussed and outlined during our initial consultation.

From the outset, we gather pricing from trusted contractors and vendors to establish a clear, realistic budget that guides the entire design and execution process.


How Are Purchases for My Project Handled?

To ensure quality and longevity, we source materials and furnishings through trusted manufacturers and exclusive, trade-only wholesalers. We are also happy to thoughtfully incorporate cherished heirloom pieces or your existing artwork into the design.


When Can We Start?

Initial design consultations are scheduled as soon as possible. However, project start dates may vary based on availability.

We intentionally limit the number of projects we take on to prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring each client receives our full attention and a highly personalized experience.
