SERVICES

Full-Service Design

Full-service design is modeled for renovations, remodels/tenant improvements, and custom new construction for both residential and commercial projects. Fair Oaks Studio handles every detail with intention resulting in a seamless and enjoyable experience. Each project is carried through concept development to completion.

Fair Oaks Studio's commercial division creates spaces that reflect your unique brand and ethos. Our services are limited to retail shops, boutique bars/cafes/restaurants, and small-scale boutique inns/hotels/vacation rentals.

Full-Service Furnishing & Styling

Full-Service Furnishing & Styling is for those looking to have a complete refresh of their home without the hassle of creating any major structural changes. Similar to our Full-Service design package, we devote the same attention, care, and level of detail when sourcing each and every one of your furnishings while incorporating your existing pieces to transform your house into a home.

Full-Service Furnishing & Styling is often managed simultaneously with our Full-Service Design package.

Limited Scope Design

Our Limited Scope Design Services are perfect for remote clients, those who are willing and able to tackle home renovation or new build projects on their own, require some design guidance, or have existing small spaces that need that finishing touch.

Our design team offers professional support and a variety of a la carte services that cater to your personal and unique design needs, budget, and timeline.
