Frequently Asked Questions

Working with a designer should feel like a conversation, not a chore.

We’re here to make the process easy, open, and even fun. We genuinely want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and understanding how everything comes together. Good design starts with great communication—and we’re with you every step of the way.

We blend high-end interior design with real estate insight under one roof. Our design team offers bespoke solutions rooted in lifestyle and architecture — not just trends — to ensure timeless, elegant results that reflect you.

Not at all. Many of our clients come to us for design only or real estate only. However, the benefit of working with Coton House is that we can seamlessly integrate both services if you’re buying, selling, or renovating — giving you a smoother, more cohesive experience.

From concept to final installation, we handle every detail — including space planning, material selection, furnishings, art curation, and contractor coordination. You walk into a fully styled, livable space without lifting a finger.

While we specialize in luxury and high-end properties, we take on projects where design intention and client collaboration are valued — whether that’s a primary residence, second home, or investment property.

That’s up to you. Some clients prefer to approve final selections only, while others enjoy being hands-on at every step. We tailor the experience based on your comfort level and availability.

Absolutely. We love incorporating sentimental or high-value pieces into the new design. Our job is to elevate what you already own and ensure a cohesive, polished result.

Timelines vary based on the scope. A single-room furnishing project may take 6–8 weeks, while full-home renovations can span several months. We’ll provide a detailed project schedule up front.

We offer design services for both. We love collaborating with architects and builders early in the process to make sure your home is both beautifully designed and functionally efficient.

Yes. Our Furnishings Design service is perfect for clients who don’t need construction or remodeling but want a professionally curated, elevated interior.

Our fees are customized based on the service level and project scope. We offer flat-rate packages for clearly defined projects and hourly rates for more open-ended or consulting-based work.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. While our aesthetic leans polished, livable, and refined, each project is a collaboration. We design around your architecture, lifestyle, and preferences — not a formula.

Yes — and it’s one of our specialties. At Coton House, we support families navigating the emotional and logistical challenges of downsizing from legacy homes. Our real estate team helps you sell or transition with confidence, while our design team reimagines your next space to reflect a refined, right-sized lifestyle.
