Services
Full Service Design
Our premier service creates a custom design tailored to your exact needs—from the overall concept to the smallest details of finishes and transitions. The Moore House team guides your project from concept, to design, into procurement and installation using a four step process. Then we work with our construction teams to seamlessly execute your vision.
No matter where you are we can manage your design project.
It’s no problem if you don’t live on the east coast. We love meeting you and visiting other locations throughout the country.
Distance Design
For this option we fly out for the initial meeting and consult, then fly back to complete the final install. We’ll tailor the experience based on how hands on you’d like to be, so the client gets as much of the custom treatment as they’d like, but it also puts them in charge of working with their on-site contractor during the renovation process. With our distance design, we can be more hands off, and the client is more hands on. When it comes to sourcing furniture, we find a mix of trade, retail, antiques, and custom pieces.
FAQ
Will Moore House still work with me if I don’t live in New England?
Absolutely! We have a distance design option for clients who don’t live where we’re based. Contact our team and we will craft a custom proposal for you.
How long will my project take?
Good design takes time and is always worth the patience and investment. The complete design process can take anywhere from 4-8 months, while full-scale renovations can take a year or more.
How do you set your design fees?
Each project is tailored to you and your home. After the consultation, our team will prepare a project scope and proposal and deliver it within 48 hours. In this proposal, we review the scope of the work and deliver an estimate of our design fees based on projected hours. We’re committed to transparency with our clients and will provide regular updates so you always know where you stand.
What if I have no idea how much my project will cost?
At Moore House we’re happy to work with you to develop the right budget for your project. There are always ways to save and splurge; our team will help you navigate which areas we can do that for based on your design. Contact our team for your free 20-minute phone consultation so we can help you figure out how to get the look you want within your budget.
Where do I start?
The best place to start is with an in-home or virtual consultation. We’ll talk through the details of timeline, budget, and specific concerns. We use this information to craft a proposal unique to your project that details a plan for executing the design.
What if I want to make changes to my design?
We’re here to make your space beautiful for you! Throughout the design process, we use samples, drawings, and renderings, to show colors, textures, and styles, so you get an accurate idea of how the final design will look and feel. We discuss what you like and don’t like as we move forward. Revisions are built into the design process. We love client feedback and are always open to amending a design to create exactly what you envisioned. Design is a collaborative process, so we love hearing your thoughts, ideas, dreams, and concerns. A beautiful and functional design tailored to your needs is always our ultimate goal.
What sets Moore House apart from other interior designers/ decorators?
We pride ourselves on our ability to think beyond what’s trendy right now. Our philosophy is always to curate a space with intention, layering items that bring depth and sculpture into the home while reusing and repurposing original materials. Our team thinks like architects, but we blend technical function with design and comfort. We take a holistic approach throughout the structure. We’re always asking what will add value to your space? What will create comfort and ease for the client? And what’s timeless and won’t go out of style?
Why should I hire an Interior designer? How are they different from an architect or design-build firm?
We might be biased, but an interior designer is as crucial to a space as a builder or architect. We focus on the flow and function of a space using a cohesive design story throughout the home. We partner with our clients to make sure the build, flow, and function work for you and the proportions of your furnishings. We’re here to make sure your home meets your lifestyle needs. Great design is timeless and creates a connection between you and your family for years to come. Designers collaborate with other professionals—like architects and contractors—as needed, based on the type and scale of the project. Architects expertise is in building and structure like exteriors, so they will need to be looped in to move or remove walls. A contractor will build from the design plans created by the architect and/or designer.
