our mission
FREE SHOPPING RESOURCES
If an e-design does not fit your budget or timeline, we offer free design and shopping resources, including: our style survey, shoppable design boards (on the blog), access to the same 'to-the-trade' furniture we source for clients (via the PHI Home Shop), and more.
CUSTOM E-DESIGN
We put together a selection of pieces that reflect your unique style - creating a curated, layered look within your budget, to purchase on your own timeline. Whether you have a half-completed room that needs to be tied together, or a blank slate, Peggy will design a beautiful space that you will love to do life in.
"I am a working mother and do not have the expertise or time to design a room on my own. Peggy takes on all of the work and makes the design process much more fun. The room that she designed fits my style, and also feels so complete since she takes every detail into account." -kate P.

PHI charges a fixed fee per room. Costs vary depending on the type of room (i.e. kitchen vs. living room) and the extent of design (décor only vs. full room). The prices range from $575 - $1,500 per room. We also require a $500-$1,000 (refundable) furniture/décor retainer. When you contact us about a project, we will send you the full price list and more details.
Video consultations are $350 / 55 minutes.
WHAT IS YOUR PRICING STRUCTURE?
The process usually takes 2-4 weeks per room (once a spot is available) and includes:
- Inquire / Join Waiting List and start a Pinterest board!
- Submit Payment, Measurements, & Online Surveys
- Phone / Video Consultation (optional)
- Design Board Review & Feedback (2 revisions are complimentary)
- Design Package Delivery (includes a 2D and 3D floor plan/furniture layout, shopping list, final design boards, and install guides)
WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND TIMELINE?
Virtual design is for those who need help with an overall vision and sourcing, but can execute the project themselves (purchasing and installation). PHI charges a fixed fee to do all the shopping for you, and you decide what you want to invest in on your timeline. It's easy, fun, personalized to your style and budget, and all done via e-mail/phone!
Peggy also offers one time video consultations ($350 / 55 minutes)! Click here to learn more and book an appointment time.
WHAT IS VIRTUAL INTERIOR DECORATING OR 'E-DESIGN'?
Questions
Typically shopping lists are a combination of both, depending on the budget. If budget allows, trade items are sourced from the very best furniture manufactures, and clients purchase selected pieces through PHI. We are proud to offer our clients access to the highest quality trade furniture. It is PHI's expectation that clients purchase trade items on their shopping list through the PHI Home Shop. Any commissions we receive on product allow us to offer lower design fees and a fixed fee structure.
do you source retail or trade?
No, Peggy will only communicate with you. Changing kitchen, laundry, or bath layouts is not included in our scope of fees. If a new layout or cabinetry is required, PHI will recommend one of the kitchen / semi-custom cabinetry experts that we partner with to assist with cabinetry selection and layout (our partners charge additional fees starting at $400). PHI will provide suggestions for all hard finishes, cabinetry, fixtures, flooring, and more, but recommends seeing all the selections in person at local showrooms or ordering samples.
DO YOU WORK WITH CONTRACTORS, ARCHITECTS, OR BUILDERS?
In order to keep an affordable pricing structure for online designs, PHI does not do any purchasing for you. Interior designer discounts with most major retailers range from 10-25% off (regular priced items only). This level of discount is available to the public by signing up for emails, or by waiting for a sale.
Trade items from PHI Home are never above the internet minimum advertised price ("IMAP"), plus shipping and sales tax. We offer 10% off IMAP/retail prices, before shipping, to our clients on all PHI Home items.
