The Dwell Design Process ✨️📋🛋

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work with the Dwell design team, here’s the short answer: it’s personalized, collaborative, and completely tailored to your life and style.

We start with an in-studio visit to walk the showroom, get a sense of your preferences, and talk through your needs, budget, and vision. From there, we come to your home to measure, assess the space, and make sure everything we choose works with your home not against it.

Then comes the best part: the design presentation. Think floor plans, moodboards, curated furnishings, materials, and access to over 250 top brands all brought together in a look that’s uniquely you.

We refine. You approve. We handle ordering, tracking, and communication with vendors so you don’t have to. And when it all arrives? Our white glove team installs it, piece by piece, just as planned.
Thoughtful design from start to finish without the overwhelm.

Let’s make your home work beautifully, in real life. ✨️🤍
