A Day With a Designer: What Really Happens (and Why Clients Say It Saves Them Money)

Hiring an interior designer doesn't always mean committing to a full renovation or long-term project. Sometimes, what homeowners need most is clarity—someone experienced to help them make confident decisions before mistakes are made.

That's exactly why A Day With a Designer exists.

This service is designed for clients who want professional guidance, real answers, and a clear path forward—all in one focused day.

What Is "A Day With a Designer"?

A Day With a Designer is a 6-hour, hands-on design session where Josh Petty works directly with you to tackle the most important decisions in your project.

This Option Is Ideal If You

Feel stuck or overwhelmed by choices
Want expert input before committing to purchases
Need direction but not full-service design
Want to avoid costly design mistakes

It's a highly efficient way to access professional design expertise—without long timelines or ongoing commitments.

What Happens During the Day?

Before your design day, we gather information about your goals, preferences, and investment range. This ensures our time together is productive and tailored to your needs.

Paint Colors & Finishes

Nail down the palette that sets the tone for your entire space.

Space Planning & Layout

Optimize flow, function, and furniture placement.

Cabinet Styles & Hardware

Select details that elevate kitchens and bathrooms.

Countertops & Materials

Choose surfaces that balance beauty and practicality.

Lighting & Furnishing Direction

Define the pieces that bring your vision to life.

Every session is customized. Some clients focus on one space; others use the time to guide decisions across multiple rooms.

Why This Service Saves Clients Money

One of the most common things we hear after a design day is: "I wish I had done this sooner."

Here's why:

Avoid purchasing items that don't work

Gain clarity before committing financially

Stop second-guessing decisions

Create a plan instead of reacting

Professional guidance upfront prevents expensive mistakes later—especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home updates.
