frequently asked questions.

  • q: Can we meet in person?

    A: My design packages include a 1hr Zoom meeting with myself, but if you prefer I can meet with you in your home if you live within 30 minutes of Newport.

  • Q: Can we make changes to any ideas or furniture items you propose?

    A: Yes the Manea Mini has an allowance for one round of edits of the selection board. Both the Manea Master Plan and Manea Master plan (full service) includes the opportunity to make two rounds of edits to the selection board.

  • Q: I want to restyle my whole home can you do this?

    A: Yes, restyling your whole home or multiple rooms is certainly an option. If you are wanting to style multiple rooms or even an open plan space I will provide a bundle package price.

  • Q: Can I keep some of the furniture I already own?

    A: Yes, I am more than happy to work with items you currently own. Just keep in mind that the style of these items will inform and lead what style we use.

  • Q: Can I shop on my own while working with you?

    A: You have hired me to implement a vision for your space and I suggest you don’t buy anything on your own while we're working together. Your choice may not be a fit for the design, layout or investment which can ultimately add more time, and money to your project. Once you have received your design, you will have a comprehensive list of all items for you to buy.

  • Q: I have a small budget for my project, is that ok?

    A: I can work within all budgets, as a guide you will typically need a minimum budget of $10,000 to spend on one space/room.
