“I chose to work with Candice because I liked her personality, responsiveness and general enthusiasm. She eased my initial fears about the design process and budget. When I first saw my space, I immediately felt proud to see what we had been working on finally finished. It looked cozy and chic, while still keeping with the charm I loved about my place.”

Full-Service Interior Design
When you invest in us, you’re investing in much more than an interior design firm. You’re investing in a high-touch, luxury experience that’s just as enjoyable and rewarding as the end result. Through our signature 5-step process, you’re able to share your vision, then sit back and let us work our #BlackGirlMagic, trusting that we’ll be on time, on budget, and on point.
Our Process
1
Design Consultation
We start all new projects with a Design Consultation. During this 90-minute meeting, we’ll tour the space(s) you’d like our help designing, and assess the furniture pieces you’d like us to incorporate. We’ll act as a sounding board for your ideas and provide advice on anything design-related from paint colors to tile selections and beyond.
Some people find the design consultation is sufficient for what they need and are happy to move forward on their own, while others choose to enlist our help.
The important thing to know about the consultation is they are free-standing appointments. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know one another. It’s low commitment but it’s also a paid meeting which means I’m giving you all of my expertise and not holding anything back. So even if you decide at the end of that meeting that you don’t want to commit to going any further with me, I’ve still given you my very best for the 90 minutes that we were together.

Presentation, Budget, & Revisions

You’ll see a comprehensive floor plan, explore swatches and samples, and finally be able to visualize the beautiful transformation that’s in store for your home.

Procurement + Project Management
Once you approve your design, our Purchasing Coordinator starts processing your orders and making sure all of your furnishings are being made, assembled, and delivered on schedule. If your project involves construction, we will organize the design, construction, and administration of your project, including any necessary working drawings and documents needed for permits. For this phase of the project, your Project Manager will serve as your point person, providing weekly project updates via our online design studio.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will my project cost?
That depends on how much you want to invest. Candice Prather Interiors charges a flat rate per room and has a two-room minimum. To get the Candice Prather Interiors look, you should expect a minimum furnishings investment of $30K per room.
More than what you’re ready to invest? Our Designed In A Day or Design Anywhere services may be a great alternative.
How long will my project take?
Generally, six months is a good rule of thumb. Smaller projects can take as little as three months. Larger new construction or whole house renovation projects can take upwards of one year.
Will you work with my existing pieces?
Yes, we will work with your existing pieces, particularly if they are meaningful to you. However, we do our best work when we can design the entire room from scratch.
How quickly can we get started?
As a boutique design studio, we only take on a handful of projects at a time. And with high demand, clients can expect start dates to be 4-6 weeks from initial inquiry. The good news is that when you submit an inquiry, we can meet with you, see your space and, if it’s a good fit, submit a proposal right away; and with a signed contract and retainer, we can schedule your project start date. We know this seems like forever when you want to start NOW, but good design takes time, and we’re worth the wait.
This sounds great! How do I get started?
We begin every project with a complimentary Discovery Call with Candice. During the call, we’ll talk through your goals for your home, and answer any questions you may have. If we feel like we’re a good fit, we’ll move forward with scheduling a 90-minute in-home design consultation. Click “Inquire” and complete our intake form and schedule your call.
