Full-Service Residential
Interior Design & Renovations in Toronto

How are design fees calculated?

Smaller design engagements are typically billed at $199 CAD plus applicable HST per hour. For larger projects, we agree a design fee based on the scope of work. Project management can also be engaged separately, with fees agreed for the services required. Furniture procurement is generally included within design fees; your proposal confirms the purchasing services and costs for your project.

What does the initial consultation cost?

Residential projects begin with a two-hour in-home design consultation at $499 CAD plus applicable HST. If your project proceeds, the consultation fee may be credited toward a subsequent design agreement, subject to confirmation. We confirm whether the credit applies before you commit to the next stage.

Do you have a minimum project budget?

We do not have a fixed minimum project budget. The budget needs to be realistic for the scope of work, whether you need focused design advice, a room update or a larger renovation.

Do you pass designer discounts on to clients?

Yes. We pass our designer discounts on to clients. Your proposal explains the procurement services included in your engagement.

How do you plan and manage the budget?

We gather quotes, prepare estimates for approval and plan the project schedule around the agreed work. If you request changes after the budget is approved, those changes may affect the scope, fees, overall budget or schedule. We discuss the implications before proceeding.

What does full-service include?

Full-service means the studio handles the interior design from concept through final installation and, where renovation management is part of the engagement, manages the renovation process through completion. The detailed scope for your project is set out in your proposal.

Who coordinates the work between design and installation?

The studio coordinates the work from design through installation, with responsibilities defined in the agreed project scope. Your proposal sets out what your project includes.

Does the studio manage the renovation through completion?

Yes, where renovation management is part of the engagement. The studio manages the renovation process through completion, coordinating the builder, architect, engineers and contractors involved, with responsibilities defined in the agreed project scope. Your proposal sets out what your project includes.

What residential projects does the studio take on?

Full-home and gut renovations, condo renovations, kitchens and bathrooms, and new builds, including space planning, custom millwork design, and furnishing and styling.

Does the studio provide engineering or architectural services?

No. The studio does not provide licensed engineering or architectural services. Structural engineering, architectural drawings and permit documents are prepared by licensed professionals, and the studio coordinates with them. The studio's interior design drawings document layouts, finishes and details.

How does the consultation work?

The first step is a two-hour in-home design consultation with Parishi to discuss your vision and project. Consultation fee: $499 CAD plus applicable HST. If your project proceeds, the consultation fee may be credited toward a subsequent design agreement, subject to confirmation; we confirm whether the credit applies before you commit to the next stage. Scope, budget and travel arrangements for the project are then confirmed in your proposal.

How much does a project cost?

Fees depend on the scope of work and are agreed in your proposal. Design fees, project management and the initial consultation are explained under fees and ways to engage above.

Can I use my own contractor?

Yes. We can work with your existing contractor and trades. Your proposal sets out which design, coordination and site oversight services we will provide and how responsibilities are shared.

How often will you visit the site or update me?

Site visits and updates depend on the scope and stage of the work. Some projects need visits several times a week; others need less frequent involvement. We agree the approach for your project rather than applying one schedule to every engagement.

How involved do I need to be?

You can choose a more hands-on approach or ask the studio to manage more of the coordination. We agree when your input and approvals are needed so your involvement fits the project.

Who prepares the drawings and manages approvals?

The studio develops design concepts and floor plans and coordinates with the appropriate project professionals. Architects, engineers and millwork companies prepare the specialist documentation required for their work. Permit and condominium approval coordination can form part of the agreed scope; approval is determined by the relevant authority or building management.

What happens if I want to revise a concept?

We usually present more than one option and refine the direction with you. Your agreement confirms how many revisions are included and any additional fees.

How long does a project take?

Your project schedule is established after we confirm the scope and requirements.

Do you work on new construction and renovations?

Yes. The studio handled a new-build residence and a residential renovation from concept through completion.
