How it works

You don't pick a designer; we match you with one for your room and style.

    Choose

    A 15-minute chat for quick questions, or a 30-minute call for the whole room.

  2. 02

    Book

    Pick an open time. Tell us about the room.

  3. 03

    Meet

    Your video or chat link comes by email. Your designer is ready on the minute.

Questions

Can I choose my designer?

No. We match you with one of our designers. Tell us about the room and your style when you book.

Chat or call?

A chat for a few quick questions, with photos. A call to walk through the whole room on video.

Who is it for?

Anyone stuck on a room: before you buy, before you build, or for a second opinion on a layout.

How soon can I meet?

Calls from 24 hours out, up to six weeks ahead. Chats from two hours out, up to three weeks ahead.

Can I show my room?

Yes. On a call, walk your designer through it on your phone. In a chat, send photos.

Can someone join me?

Yes. Anyone with you is welcome, and a partner or contractor can join a call from the video link.

What do I need?

A phone, tablet or computer. The video link opens in your browser; a phone is easiest for a room tour.

Can I record it?

Ask your designer first. Recordings are for your own use only.

What if we run out of time?

Sessions end on time. Book another for the rest; designers don't take questions between sessions.

Can I book again?

Yes, as often as you like.

When do I pay?

A payment link follows by email, before your session.

Can I move or cancel?

Move it up to 24 hours before, from your email. Cancel any time for studio credit. A missed chat rebooks for $45.

What if my designer cancels or is late?

You choose a new time or a full refund.

What if I don't like the advice?

It's a designer's opinion, so we can't refund for disagreeing with it. If something went wrong, write to info@studio-dea.com.

Is this the same as hiring a designer?

No. It's advice in the session. Drawings, sourcing and installation are a full design project.
