Residential Interior Design Services
Every client & project is unique, so we can customize our services accordingly. Please reach out and we will provide specific feedback and recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
What sets Cley Atelier apart from other Interior Designers?
We believe in efficiency, problem solving & paying attention to the details. Hiring an interior designer does not need to break the bank nore does it need to turn into a long drawn out process with tons of meetings and coordination. If you are planning to invest in new furniture or renovations then we highly recommend consulting a professional before jumping in. By asking the right questions, we can help you avoid potentially costly mistakes. Christine specializes in virtual design & has worked on projects remotely her entire 20+ year career (including large-scale, custom & luxury projects). Trust me it can be done! And it saves everyone involved time and money.

Typically full service starts at around $15k+ per room (on the low end) & can easily go up to into six figures for large new construction or major remodeling projects. Please also note that those are design fees only and do not include the furnishings or construction costs. Please also budget for furnishings, which can start at around $35K per room (on the low end) and furnishing a whole home will start at around $150K and go up from there.

A' La Carte
Hourly Assistance As Needed (15 Hours Min. to Start)
If you are planning to handle your design project mostly on your own but would love to hire a professional to help out with various things along the way then this may be perfect for you.
Does this sound like you?
You would love to hire an interior designer to go furniture shopping with you. (For feedback, recommendations, etc.)
​
You feel like your home is pretty much there but it's missing some details to help pull it all together and you'd love some extra help with the final touches.
​
Perhaps there is something specific you're looking for (say an amazing chandelier you found on pinterest) but you're not having any luck finding something similar, we can help!
​
Or perhaps you've hired an architect or contractor to design/build a new construction home for you. We highly recommend having an Interior Designer review the plans to provide feedback and recommendations from an interiors perspective. (Trust me, we have seen many a bedroom with very strange window locations where there's no wall space left for a headboard or oddly shaped rooms that would be very trick to accommodate furniture, or missed opportunities specifically when it comes down to the details of a kitchen or bathroom. )
Perfect if you’re someone who would like to have a professional at hand to be able to go to with questions or ask for help along the way but aren't really sure where to start or predict what you will want help with along the way. We highly recommend pairing this with an Expert Advice Consultation to start and this is a great way to wade in to your project slowly then the services can easily be added or adjusted as things develop.
