Q: Is it possible to hire a designer for help on a small project, or do designers only work on larger projects?

A: We’re happy to take on projects of any size, from finding one item to designing a whole house. At Gabberts, our design team works on an hourly consultation fee of $125. But when you purchase new furniture items from us, we provide the design consultation free of charge. Our approach to the design process depends on your preference. Some people like to see everything available—100 options. Others ask for only two. We can do all of the work and share resources and give our opinions along the way, or we can let you do the work, too, and just step in as needed. You decide.
