Design Services

Every space should work for your life and reflect who you are.
Here are a few ways we can work together to get you there.

An on-site consultation where we'll discuss your goals, evaluate the space, answer your design questions, and provide expert recommendations. You'll leave with a clearer vision, actionable next steps, and a real understanding of the best path forward. Some clients use it as a standalone service, while many continue into a larger design project.

This is for clients who want professional guidance before beginning a project, or who are considering working together and would like a low-commitment place to start. It's ideal if you have questions, need direction, or simply want an expert's eyes on your space before deciding on your next steps. If this feels like the right fit, inquire here.

Consultation

Expert guidance before you begin your project. One focused on-site session that leaves you with clarity and confidence as you move forward with your next steps.

AMI Service — Design Block

Ten hours of dedicated design time to use however your project requires, valid for six months from the date of purchase. It's well suited for paint and finish selections, collaborating with your builder on interior finishes, selecting finishes and materials for a small office, or styling and accessorizing a space.

This is for clients with a defined, smaller-scope project like finalizing paint colors or selecting finishes for a build, who want expert guidance without a full design retainer. If this sounds like the right fit, inquire here.

Design Package

A flexible block of design hours for focused projects that don't need a full-scale engagement.

AMI Service — Room Design Refresh

A Room Refresh includes furniture, lighting, rugs, window treatments, artwork, and styling, pulled together into a cohesive, finished look. When needed, Alison can also coordinate contractors for small updates like lighting or paint.

This is for clients who are ready to refresh their space, or who aren't quite sure how to make it work for them. It's ideal if the bones of the room already work and you simply want it to feel more finished, cohesive, and truly yours through new furnishings and styling. If this sounds like the right fit, inquire here

Room Refresh

Your space, reimagined.

AMI Service — Renovation Design

Renovation Design may include space planning, finish selections such as cabinetry, lighting, flooring, tile, and plumbing fixtures, plus paint color guidance, along with close collaboration with your contractors and trades to keep the vision consistent from plan to build.

This is for clients remodeling one or more spaces who want thoughtful design decisions made before construction begins. It's ideal if you're renovating and want a clear plan for your layout, finishes, and materials, so every choice is intentional and nothing is left to guesswork once the work starts. If this sounds like the right fit, inquire here.

Get Started

Ali K. – Fairfield, CT

"Alison McGovern is a miracle worker and an absolute dream to work with! Her process began with getting to know me & my decor style, which I so appreciated because her recommendations along the way were in line with my likes & taste. Not only did she design my son’s room exactly as I envisioned, but she also elevated my dining room from blah to beautiful and helped me design the bare walls of my family room. Ali is everything you want in an interior designer... professional, patient, creative & caring, and I feel as though our work together has just begun!"
