Do you love your community, but feel stuck in your home?

As much as you love the location you're in, are there dysfunctional spaces in your home that bring more stress than joy? If you've been holding off on hosting guests, or dreaming about your kids sticking around for more quality time at home, that's where we come in. Our signature services transform your most-used living spaces into luxurious retreats that you, your kids, and your neighbors, never want to leave.

Full-Service Interior Design

From photorealistic visual renderings to the final execution of turning your homebody dreams into a luxurious reality, our full-service implementation will ensure everything is taken care of. We will manage your entire project from start to finish. This includes space planning, design creation, material selection, procurement, liaising with third parties, and styling the finishing touches.

In-Person Consultations

If you're unsure about how to maximize your space, you can invest in an on-site walk through. The in-person consultation can serve as a launching pad to our full-service interior design services, or it can stand alone as a highly focused, specific problem solving session. We can chat about details like furnishings, finishes, floors, and paint. Or we can cover big-picture concepts like functionality, budgeting, and future-proofing.

Virtual Interior Design

Whether you reside outside of the Saint Louis area or simply wish for a clear visual guide to follow that you can implement yourself, our virtual interior design services may be the right fit for you. You'll provide the measurements & photos, and we'll create photorealistic 2D renderings along with a itemized shopping list.

Tailored for you.

Our services are designed to cater to your specific needs. Whether you select one of our stackable lighter packages or our comprehensive full-service design package, we've got you covered.

How it works.

1) Research

What do you really want? During the quick Discovery Call, our goal is to take up no more than 20 minutes of your time as we gain insight into your general vision. Following that, we'll send you a simple questionnaire to cover more of the details about your design preferences and lifestyle.

Then we'll move onto the virtual Meet & Greet, where we'll cover more about who we are, our overall process, how investing in our signature service can benefit you, and next steps to expect. We'll also formulate some recommendations and set intentional goals that align with your unique needs.

The last step to the research phase is the Initial Visit. We'll meet you on-site to take general measurements, photos, and notes. Beyond that, we're checking to see if the original vision is viable or if it may need to be expanded in order to provide the right solution.

2) Development

After carefully considering your unique needs and personality, we'll schedule a Proposal Presentation. We'll present a customized project mood board and reference images that give insight into our initial design concepts. We'll break down the Scope of Work (SOW) by the recommended deliverables and services for each space, along with details about the investment and timeline.

Upon mutual agreement, we'll get moving on the fun stuff – the Design Presentation!

After our team takes more precise measurements of each space, we'll craft detailed renderings that bring the vision to life. A curated palette of materials and colors will be presented, allowing you to get a peek into the potential look and feel of your soon-to-be transformed space.

Our goal is to eliminate the guessing game so you can clearly visualize the end result — a retreat that you and your family will never want to leave.

3) Procurement

At Elm Hallow, we know time is your most precious resource, which is why we handle every step of the Procurement process for you.

This includes:

  • Creating and sending out purchase orders (POs) to vendors, including contractors

  • Following up with vendors to ensure the order is in process

  • Tracking deliveries at the receiving warehouse

  • Handling any problems (damaged or incorrect items, delayed shipments, or general miscommunications with vendors)

There's no need for you to play phone tag with vendors or handle returns — we've got it covered.

4) Installation

Fast forward to the moment you walk into your "new" space. Envision the soul-deep joy of stepping into a home that truly loves you back.

Installation is the final phase in our four-part process. Depending on the scope of your project, installation can either happen all-at-once or in separate installments.

If you give us a key, we'll notify you when we'll be there and put all the puzzle pieces together. Once the larger items are in, we'll style each space so that your home tells a harmonious story.

That leaves us with the last and most important step: Coming Home.

Bonus Step: As our way of celebrating your investment in yourself and your home, we offer a special complimentary photoshoot of your space(s) to all of our full-service clients.

FAQs

Can we see the design first?

Before we can present customized design solutions to achieving the home of your dreams, we first need to discover who you are and identify your unique needs. We put in the research up front so we can be completely confident that once we get to the Design Presentation, the solutions we're sharing are the right fit. Ultimately, a home should reflect and cater to those who are living in it.

Do you handle remodels?

Yes! Residential renovations are our specialty. We'll provide a list of reputable contractors we trust to implement your vision. During procurement, we'll collaborate with them to ensure your project stays on time and on budget. At every step, we're your advocate. We proactively look for contractors that we feel are a good match in terms of communication style, personality, and quality of workmanship. If any issues arise with your team of contractors, we'll be there to step in.

What's your fee structure?

We charge a flat design fee for every project, so you'll know exactly what you’re paying us. In addition to the design fee, we also take care of the procurement and installation, which are separate line items on your invoice. We're happy to separate your home transformation into phases to compliment the pace at which you’re comfortable investing in your home. More details about specific costs for your project will be discussed during your free Discovery Call.
