WHY TURNSTYLE?

Most of us go through a long and hard debate in our heads on whether we should engage someone’s help for our home. We understand. We love helping homeowners tell their stories, wholeheartedly believing that the process of designing / remodeling a home should always be an enjoyable one. We are here to help you through it.

What sets us apart from other designers is our very artistic, yet approachable methodology. A home should directly reflect the best of its inhabitants and function in a way that is entirely inspiring and comfortable. We push you out of your comfort zone into the unusual and unexpected, because we believe that’s where you’ll feel most at home.

WHAT IS TURNSTYLE’S AESTHETIC?

Yours. We have a broad understanding of historical and modern design and we are here to interpret your style through our bold and unusual way of seeing things. Whether you prefer contemporary, vintage, traditional or anything in between, we are expert at translating what you love into something entirely unique.

HOW DO WE BEGIN?

The first place we begin is always with an initial consultation. If you live locally, then this first meeting is in person, and preferably in the space(s) you wish to transform. This preliminary meeting is crucial in our eyes; not only does it allow us to understand how we may add value to your project, but it also enables us to determine if we are the right fit for one another. Namely, we see this process as a very personal one – a good partnership fit is essential.

IN MY HOME, WHERE DO I START?

That’s one of the first decisions we’ll help you make. As part of our initial consultation, we learn your needs, walk-through your space and provide direct input to help you narrow down and prioritize what makes the most sense for your family and the value of your home. From this we flesh out a plan to move us into the design concept phase.

WHAT IS A DESIGN CONCEPT?

A design concept is a specifically tailored plan that encompasses all the necessary ingredients for us to realize your project. Serving as a map if you will, this building block helps you see what we envision, and serves as our mutual guide to complete your project. As a direct visual demonstration of what we plan to do, concepts include such things as fabric swatches, hardware and finish samples, renderings, space planning, custom designs and all cost estimates for labor and materials. Typically the development of a design concept takes about 3-4 weeks, dependent on the scope of your project.

HOW YOU DO YOU CHARGE?

Turnstyle’s initial consultations and design concepts are charged at a flat fee, regardless of time spent. From this point on, implementation transitions to an hourly rate. All product and labor estimates are provided to you at the time of our design concept presentation, and a retainer is required in advance of all project purchases.

WHAT DOES FULL SERVICE MEAN?

Full service means that we take care of everything for you, A to Z. We bring long, well-established relationships with our contractors and workrooms ensuring quality throughout. We think of everything. Down to the finest detail, it is our priority to think through how a space lives, feels and functions. While all projects flow through our Lead Creative and Founder Lieve Saether, your project is assigned a dedicated Project Manager that will serve as your main point of contact for everyday guidance.

WHAT IS AN INITIAL DESIGN CONSULTATION?

 This in-person or virtual meeting is how we’ll determine the best approach for your project, establish a plan for moving forward and set you up for great long-term decisions. Our process begins with an initial consultation with Lieve Saether, our owner and creative mind. 

 Whether you are located in Austin, Texas or farther afield, we offer full-service white glove, highly personalized interior design. No matter what stage your project is in, we are here to serve as your guide for approachable luxury and highly artistic interiors. 

 This meeting is a flat fee of $375. 

WHAT IS A DESIGN INSPECTION?

Our property walkthrough service enables you to envision how the houses shown to you by your realtor can be molded into the home your family needs. Design inspections with our designer/owner, Lieve Saether, start at $475 and can help you see the true potential of any space through a designer's eye.

We believe the process of buying / remodeling a home should be enjoyable. With a very artistic, yet approachable methodology, our goal is to provide the ultimate in functionality and aesthetics.
