Our Proper Process
1
Let’s get this design party started.
Like any good relationship, let’s make sure the good juju is flowing and our services are a good fit for your project needs. Every client and space is unique and we truly want your experience to be inspiring, simple, and joyful. (And fun! We like fun.)
The first step is simply to reach out. We’ll start with a brief style questionnaire that provides us with helpful insight into your project. We’ll get a baseline feel for your interior style, your current design challenges and goals, as well as your ideal budget.

Getting to know you.
The next step is a complimentary 30-minute chat to get properly acquainted with your project. Not a deep dive – more of a meet & greet.
Whether you need help with something small (choosing paint colors, wallpaper patterns, styling a gallery wall) or completely refreshing one or more rooms, we’re positively pumped to help.

Diving into
the details.
At this stage, your project officially begins. We like to start with a Client Design Discovery session (in-person or virtual, although we prefer to see your space in person) where we get into the nitty-gritty. This is a meaningful time to get to the heart of your project goals.
Share those home inspo pics, internet bookmarks, Pinterest boards, phone snaps, and dog-eared magazine pages – these really help us knock your project out of the park. If you aren’t sure where to start, that’s fine, too – we’ll help get the inspiration flowing.
Lastly, we’ll work together to establish a project timeline. Ready to roll? Drop us a line! We can’t wait to work with you.

How much
does this
cost?
Great question! No secrets or hidden surprises here.
One of the most important philosophies of The Proper Possum is simplicity. Not only in our process but in the pricing, too.
We charge a flat rate of $100 per hour for all design and client services,
and if applicable, a customary small markup – but only on furnishings/goods we directly purchase and hand deliver to you.
That’s it. Yes, it’s really that simple. We love the flexibility a flat hourly rate offers – affording you ultimate control, whether you want to cap a project at a set number of hours or customize time in multiple spaces or projects.
