Working with Modern Fox Interiors
Do you need to have a clear vision for you space before working with us?
Not at all! Whether you have a full Pinterest board or just know how you want the space to feel, we’ve got you. Our job is to guide you through the process, help uncover your style, and create a space that reflects you, whether you come to us with a detailed plan or no idea where to start.
Can we work within your budget?
Yes! We design with your budget in mind. We believe great design doesn’t have to mean overspending. We’ll help you make smart, intentional choices so your investment goes where it matters most. Whether you're working with a modest budget or going all-in, we’ll create a plan that works for you.
Do we handle renovations and contractor management?
Yes! We offer full-service design, which includes working closely with your contractor, or bringing in one of our trusted partners, to help manage the renovation process. From layouts and material selections to site visits and final walkthroughs, we’re there to keep things running smoothly and ensure the design is executed properly. You don’t have to juggle trades or track timelines, we’ve got it handled.
What happens if you want to make changes during the design process?
We get it, sometimes ideas evolve, and that’s totally normal. If you want to make changes, we’ll walk you through how they impact the budget, timeline, and design direction so you can make an informed decision. We keep things flexible, but also clear, so that every change is intentional and aligned with your goals.
Process & Pricing
What’s the typical timeline for a design project?
Timelines can vary depending on the size and scope of your project. Smaller styling projects might take a few weeks, while larger renovations or full home designs can take several months from start to finish. During our consultation, we’ll map out a realistic timeline so you know what to expect, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
How much do our services cost?
Our pricing depends on the size and scope of your project. We offer flexible options, including flat-rate packages for smaller projects and hourly rates for more customized or large-scale designs. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through a tailored proposal so you know exactly what to expect, no surprises. Our goal is always to deliver exceptional value, no matter your budget.
Do we require a deposit before starting a project?
Yes, we require a deposit to secure your project in our schedule and begin the design process. The deposit amount depends on the size and scope of the project and will be outlined clearly in your proposal. This ensures we can dedicate the time, resources, and planning needed to bring your vision to life.
