Home design, decorating, and remodeling is our expertise.
We have transformed hundreds of properties – from historic bungalows to 28,000 sq. ft. estates that required months of planning and design, to vacation beach houses that needed an update.
We work on luxury residential projects where clients want a unique, custom-designed environment that reflects their story, their essence, and how they live. We employ a mix of art, function, and innovation to create not just pretty rooms, but, delicious sensory experiences.
How you benefit from working with us, your life gets better:
You don’t have time to manage a design project? We give you time.
Are you building a new home? We organize and simplify this complex undertaking.
Do you lack the confidence and clarity in selecting finishes, fixtures, and furniture? We bring years of project experience and design knowledge, so you are confident and love your completed project.
You have conflicting opinions and tension within your family or project partners. We can take on the role of a design mediator with the goal of finding common ground and consensus.
All projects start with a discovery call. This step in our process provides the Home Frosting team with needed information so we recommend the best path forward.
From here, if we are a good fit, a consultation is booked.
The first on-site consultation is a flat $500. This consultation covers Home Frosting’s pre-meeting preparation, and an on-site meeting time (about an hour). During this time, we will provide you with some initial insight from the designer, and in 5-7 days a custom report addressing your wish list, a more defined scope of the project, and the investment range needed to move forward. This document is full of value, and it is yours to use whether you choose to work with Home Frosting or take a different direction.
The next step is, when all the parties feel a positive chemistry, a strong sense of trust, and agree to starting project scope and investment range, a contract is prepared.
Full-service interior design, decorating, new construction, and remodeling. Projects start at $30,000 for design services and generally take no less than 90 days.
In addition to the design service fees, there is a budget for furnishings, finishes, construction and materials, lighting, surface products, and the trade skills required. See our budget range brochure to help you plan a budget and know what to expect things to cost.
With most things in life, there are levels of product quality.
- Good/silver
- Better/gold
- Premium/platinum
We can deliver great design work with all levels of product. From our experience, we know there can be certain investment areas that may not need premium selections, other areas do. Once we know what you are comfortable with investing in your projects, we will provide honest feedback and guide you accordingly.
Not sure you are ready for a full-service design project?
We offer several consultation packages that can be a perfect solution for your project when you are:
Struggling with a project you started and can’t seem to complete it?
We can be a sounding board to validate your vision or make recommendations.
Merging furniture from several places.
We can be your Decluttering team and an editing plan to create a polished, elevated space.
Overwhelmed with options?
We help bring clarity and a professional aesthetic and point of view to the project.
Starting at $3000
Not sure where to begin your interior design project, or possibly your budget is better aligned with design expertise and guidance package, instead of a full-service approach?
Our designer for a day-and-a-half package may be ideal for you.
How it’s priced and how the service works:
The cost starts at $3000 and provides approximately 10 hours of consultation.
At least one week prior to the one-on-one appointment, forward all of the following information to Home Frosting:
- Up to 25 inspirational images of rooms and homes you admire, photos, or Pinterest pins
- A video of your home or spaces that need design attention
- Photos of your home exterior and interior
- A range of your budget for home changes, improvements or furnishings, finishes, and window treatments
- Floor plan (if available)
After receiving it, your designer will review all of the provided information and address your priorities within the window of time in design report. After digesting the ideas and approach, you have 10 days to schedule a call and ask the design team any questions. If you need more time or consultation, the design team will prepare a change order with expanded scope of your needs.
** Should you need to cancel or reschedule a session once booked, we require at least 48 hours’ notice, or you’ll be considered a no-show appointment and 100% payment of the service will be used.
- If you need art or mirrors installed, we can help here too. This is billed at $150 an hour with a 2-hour minimum by our in-house art installer. Pieces must be under 100 pounds and not require stair ladders or scaffolding. Art installations with these complexities may require more than one person and an estimate will be prepared project by project.
- If you need a designer present at the installation, add hourly rate of $250 an hour.
- Any driving distance outside of 30 minutes from Tampa will incur an additional $100 fee.
- Purchasing products from Home Frosting is in addition to the design fees. We charge a fair retail price for our products. You may find products on the internet for a lesser price, as many internet sellers buy more volume from manufacturers, remember there may be nontransparent fees, and added costs.
