At Rachel James Interiors, we collaborate with you to create your "auto-biography." The design process will result in a style that compliments your lifestyle, preferences, and tastes. Here are a few FAQs that will help guide you, our special clients.

FAQ's

1. What is the benefit of hiring Rachel James Interiors?

   Clients hire us because of our vast experience and excellent design skills. RJI provides special furnishings, fabrics, and resources that are not available to the general public. RJI Designers are project managers for your design job. Our turnkey service helps to avoid costly mistakes that a non-trained decorator may encounter. We also handle all the scheduling, phone calling, and special arrangements to save clients time and money. Often clients come to us for problem solving, sourcing, or even daring!

2. How does the process begin?

   We begin the process by an Initial Consultation, conducted in your home. At this time, we gather copious amounts of client information, which include but are not limited to:

   • Design Style Preferences (ie, modern, contemporary, transitional, traditional)
   • Color Preferences
   • Space Planning Details
   • Lifestyle (ie, Gourmet cooks? Entertainers? Family retreat?)
   • Determination of family needs (ie, pets, children, in-laws, empty nesters, nanny space).

3. What are the costs?

   RJI designers are paid for all time on the project, which includes initial consults, home visits, shopping for furnishings, sketches and floor plan diagrams, coordination of contractors, and administrative functions. Travel time is charged for locations over 1/2 hour from office.

   Hourly rate is $135/hour. In some circumstances, we charge a percentage of the total design cost as opposed to an hourly rate. We are happy to offer you discounts on furnishings when available.
