frequently asked questions

01. What is holistic interior design?

02. WHAT IS FENG SHUI?

03. WHAT WILL YOU DO IN A FENG SHUI CONSULTATION?

Prior to our consultation, you will fill out a consultation worksheet where we’ll ask you to share some of your goals, the likes/dislikes about your space, and why you feel called to do a reading. In the Feng Shui reading we will overlay the BTB Feng Shui Bagua map with the floor plan of your space and look at the areas you want to improve in relation to your personal and professional goals. Using the bagua, we will also identify areas of your home that could benefit from a Feng Shui adjustment due to stagnant, leaky or rushing chi (energy). When the consultation is finished, you will walk away with tangible and intangible Feng Shui adjustments to help you on your unique journey.
Additional offerings for those interested in Feng Shui include Tarot readings and Nine Star Ki Numerology readings.

04. HOW DOES HOLISTIC INTERIOR DESIGN DIFFER FROM TRADITIONAL              INTERIOR DESIGN??

Traditional interior design often focuses solely on aesthetics and functionality. Holistic interior design, on the other hand, considers the well-being of the occupants, as well as the environmental impact of design choices. It incorporates principles of sustainability, mindfulness, and energy flow into the design process.

12. Do I have to purchase all of my furnishings through you?

We strongly encourage you to purchase your furnishings through us, as we take the time to procure high-quality, unique items that are meant to last. We have trusted vendors that will make sure the items are free from flaws and are made responsibly. Based on the project size and/or budget, we do require a paid retainer for purchases to be made from. This retainer can be paid via direct deposit/ACH bank transfer. If a credit card is the preferred method of payment, the client will be responsible for any incurred processing fees.
