"WOW, Raili was phenomenal. We have a midcentury project and we were stuck on the kitchen layout and style, wanted it to fit the house but not be stuck to midcentury. Feel like she quickly smoothed out the rough edges, gave us great suggestions on color, cabinet design, lighting and backsplash designs, everything really. Told her it felt like she pulled a paintbrush over the whole design and made it look good. She's the real deal, and the nicest to boot! Really love her style."

"Perfect. Hayley showed up prepped for the conversation and busted right into sharing fun ideas for the 3-5 different areas of our home we're refreshing and designing. By the end we felt excited and validated, and are totally ready to start executing on a couple of different interior deco/design projects - bringing it all together with more personality and style. Exactly the brainstorm session and confidence boost we needed as a couple."

"Prior to my appointment, I was a little on the fence about whether or not I wanted to spend this much for a consultation. It was well worth it! Raili was extremely helpful in helping me to create a cohesive look for a few rooms in my house. She gave me some fresh, new ideas for all the areas I needed help with and was able to incorporate her signature style. On top of all this, she’s super easygoing and very pleasant to talk with. It’s like talking to a friend. So glad this service is available!"

"It was awesome. I’ve been a big fan of Raili’s for years and use her for inspiration constantly in my home. I’ve been stuck on my girls room for over a year on what to do in there so I convinced my husband to allow me to do an hour zoom through here with her. Within about 10min she understood my style, while incorporating the girls request of pink without being too girly. It was awesome and I’m so excited to do their room now. We had about 20min go look at my closet and laundry room too. Thanks!"

"I did a 25 minute consultation with Raili for my master bathroom renovation and it was amazing! She got right away what the design aesthetic I was going for & what I needed to do to bring the design across the finish line. I had been working on the design myself for the past 3 months and had everything outlined with diagrams, dimensions, photos of the space, chosen materials and open questions I had to help me finalize. Raili helped get me across the finish line and I'm excited to get started!"

I only intended to focus on one area of my living room, but we were able to quickly cover that, and she was able to take the adjoining areas into consideration. She showed me examples in her own house so I knew what she was talking about. I will definitely be signing up for more sessions as I progress through the rest of house. I highly recommend!"

We blew through the layout for all the common areas in the house including the cabinetry, finishes, and even light suggestions. I never felt like I had to keep the convo moving, she 100% handled that and maximized every minute. My head is still spinning a bit from all the information she dropped in such little time!"

"Just finished my third session with Raili for our new build. She's got so many ideas and she's able to help me visualize in a way that I can't do on my own. Right down to specific colors, fixtures, and styles and vendors. It's such a relief to have this resource as there are just too many decisions to make on my own. I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of so many elements before our call, and now I feel like I have a solid set of options and concrete ideas that I can build upon. Thanks Raili!"
