WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
Most design starts with a Pinterest board and ends with a room full of decisions nobody actually made. What if it started with a feeling instead?
Fabric First begins with how you want to feel walking into the room. The fabric, the palette, the furniture all follow from there.
If You Need:
✓ Someone else making the decisions
You've stood in the paint aisle holding four whites that all looked the same in the store and different at home.
That decision fatigue ends here.
✓ A room that actually tells one story
It's a mix of pieces you liked one at a time that don't quite connect. One fabric ties it all together.
✓ To stop second-guessing the
big-ticket pieces
Furniture, lighting, art — the purchases that are expensive to get wrong. You'll have a plan for all of it before you spend a dollar.
THIS IS FOR YOU
if:
You know your closet is better curated than your living room,
and you're finally ready to
close that gap.
You’d like to be booking your ideal clients and working on projects that bring high reward — both financially and creatively.
WHAT MAKES this DIFFERENT
Most designers start with furniture. I start with a feeling, then find the fabric that carries it through the whole room.
How it works:
1. The questionnaire. We get specific about how you actually live in this room, and how you want it to feel. Summer breeze. New Orleans speakeasy. Whatever the mood is, we name it.
2. The statement fabric. I bring back a multi-colored textile, rug, or wallpaper that carries that feeling, plus a few supporting fabrics to round it out. You approve the direction here, before anything else gets built.
3. The anchor color. I pull the paint color straight from your fabric — tested against your floors, trim, and light, so it works in your room, not just on the swatch.
4. The full story. Furniture, lighting, accessories, a floor plan, and art get layered in to finish the room, plus the resource list with links.
5. The doing is yours. Every decision is already made — the plan says what goes where, the links say where to buy. Decided for you, done by you, on your timeline.
THIS IS A GREAT FIT iF:
You who want a designer's eye on the whole room, from the statement piece down to the light switch plates, without deciding
it all yourself.
Anyone who's repainted a room twice already and would rather get it right the first time than keep guessing at swatches.

IF YOu'VE EVER THOUGHT TO YOURSELF:
“I know this room isn't working, I just don't
know why.”
“I've bought throw pillows four times and the room still doesn't feel finished.”
“I'm scared to commit to a paint color
because what if I
hate it in six months.”
“I have good taste,
I just can't seem to
bring the vision in my head to life.”
“I don't want to pick everything myself.
I want someone to just tell me what goes.”
“I know what I don't want. I have no idea what I do want.”
THEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU.
