Space Planning

The main objective of space planning is to understand an area’s attributes related to how the room can best function and flow within those details. As a space is planned, your goals of lifestyle, needs and how the space should be experienced are paired together. The result is a collection of drawings and layouts that include specific measurements so they may be read and developed into real applications. Most drawings are digital 2D or plan view and elevations, however we will provide digital 3D renderings when needed to understand the circulation of a space.

May Include:

  • Project layouts from schematic to fully developed digital 2D and or 3D drawings
  • Elevation drawings for wall designed elements and allocation
  • Furniture layout for optimization of the space - can include repurposing existing pieces
  • Lighting designation 
  • Custom Furnishings, Cabinetry or Built-In Designs - specified and developed for trade to execute

Custom Window & Bed Coverings

It’s not always only about the pretty. When designing your window or bed coverings we dive deep into function and needs before the concern of fabrics and color, because these elements of a space have to work hard for you to comfortably enjoy living in your environment.

Window Treatments not only add to the aesthetics of a space, they are the workhorse of the space. When talking about your windows we discuss finite details of light control, privacy, sound buffering and multi-tasking products that complete the liveable environment. Well, sometimes they just have to look fabulous!

  • Evaluate needs to proper product 
  • Hard goods: shades, blinds, shutters 
  • Soft goods: drapes, roman shades, valances, cornice boards including stationary or functional treatments
  • Hardware: customized and motorized
  • Materials that make it all perform beautifully and complete the room’s story with balance of ambience and visual appeal

Bed coverings add the personality to the private spaces of your home, but they have to be easy to recreate to maintain that haven. They tell the story of who lives here and what they need to feel at home. A “close the door” to a get-away room for the busy parents, or a fun filled children’s adventure space for the twins; SSI creates bed dressings to give your signature to your sanctuary.

  • Establish what comfort layers you need: different styles have weight, warmth and details to consider
  • Consider what components to use for use, style and overall look
  • Measure for specifications to your bed
  • Bespoke ensembles fabricated with selected custom fabrics, trims and fills
  • Fully customized or a design of store purchases mixed with custom accents
  • Refreshed accent pieces to complement new facets in the room

Color Consultation

Color consultations are more than just the paint. A color consult investigates relationships of color from space to space or within a room and its parts and the feelings it promotes to those living within it. It's our passion to educate you on how colors work together. Our ultimate goal is to harmonize all the surfaces in a space from fabrics, to flooring, countertops, shutters, cabinets, and more to achieve a flow or feeling throughout the home. Color is personal and not necessarily about being trendy—it's about what color evokes in you while surrounding you. Let us help you make it yours.

  • We look at existing surfaces, evaluate the color tones and collect options to induce a harmonious palette for all surfaces and fixtures in the project scope
  • Discover and adopt your color scheme preferences for all new products
  • Suggest paint colors, finishes and fabrics within that palette and scheme
  • Guide and select products and colors to engage the profile established 
  • Paints, tile, cabinetry, counters, flooring, fabrics

Fixtures & Finishing Details

When design meets decorating and feeling like it’s all yours to love and live in! Whether we start a project with you from the beginning or come in at the end to tie a space together, our goal is to get the feel and styling just right after so much planning.

Sarah Schultz is a talented professional who is easy and fun to work with. We have been working together in renovating my home for almost two years now. She has exquisite taste and is incredibly creative. When we started working together, she listened intently to all of my needs and wants and also opened my eyes to ideas I never would have thought of. Her design skills amaze me. I never felt pressured to make choices in a hurry. We have worked together and decorated a living room, kitchen, den, sunroom, and are presently renovating and decorating a master bedroom. I am grateful every day that I have Sarah Schultz in my life to help me accomplish my goals toward enjoying beautiful, colorful, and functional rooms in my home.
