Frequently Asked Questions

1. What services do you offer?

At Abanishe & Co., we offer three signature design experiences:

Curated Full-Service Design - white-glove, end-to-end transformation including project management, site visits, procurement, installation, and final styling.
Designer By Your Side (eDesign) - a flexible, guided design experience for clients who want professional direction with the freedom to execute on their own timeline.
Curated in a Day (Consultations & Specialty Design) - floor plans, styling sessions, space planning, closet expansion, finish selections, and design refreshes.

2. How do I know which service is right for me?

If you want a hands-off, concierge-level transformation, Curated Full-Service Design is for you.
If you enjoy being involved, prefer to purchase on your own timeline, or love DIY with expert guardrails, Designer By Your Side is ideal.
If you just need clarity on layout, finishes, or styling ideas, a Design Consultation (Curated in a Day) is the perfect starting point.

3. What is your design process like?

While each project is unique, our process typically includes:

Discovery - understanding your lifestyle, goals, and aesthetic.
Design Development - mood boards, floor plans, and photorealistic renderings.
Refinement - collaborative edits to ensure every element feels aligned.
Execution - procurement, project management, and installation (for full-service projects).
Reveal - the Abanishe & Co. signature moment where your space becomes a story.

4. Do you work with clients outside your local area?

Yes! We offer virtual eDesign services and can support clients anywhere in the U.S. or internationally. Full-service projects may be available outside our region depending on scope and timeline.

5. What is included in the Designer By Your Side (eDesign) package?

This package includes:

Professional measurements (if local) or guided measurement support

You execute at your own pace, making it perfect for DIY-minded clients or those working within a flexible budget or timeline.

6. Can I purchase items on my own?

Payment requirements vary by service:

Curated Full-Service Design: A retainer is required to begin, and procurement is billed separately.

Payment plans may be available for select services; please inquire during your consultation.

8. How long does a design project take?

Timelines depend on project scope, materials, custom work, and contractor schedules. Most full-service transformations take 8–16 weeks, while eDesign projects typically take 4–6 weeks for deliverables.

9. What if I already bought some furniture?

No problem! We can incorporate existing pieces if they support your design goals. During your consultation, we’ll assess what stays, what goes, and what needs a refresh.

10. Do you offer construction services?

We do not perform construction directly, but we collaborate with vetted trade partners and contractors. We guide selections, ensure design intent is upheld, and oversee key checkpoints.

11. What makes Abanishe & Co. different?
