General:

1.) What is your decorating style?

I adore anything colorful, whimsical, and full of personality! I especially love transforming a space to feel like it belongs in a fictional world, like a fairy wonderland bedroom, a fantasy vampire budoir, or a pop culture technicolor dream living room. But if that's not your cup of tea, I also love styles like: Maximalism, Cottagecore, Dark Academia, Coquette, Whimsigoth, and Hollywood Regency.

But if your style doesn't fit into a neat, tidy box, don't worry! I love blending styles and helping you make your space feel like you!

2.) What is your stance on AI? Do you use it?

I hate generative AI with the passion of a thousand suns, so no, I don't use it. For full transparency, many of the softwares I use, such as Spoak and Canva, have an ever growing repertoire of AI features that they advertise. I do my absolute best to avoid those features as it has become impossible to find software that hasn't implemented AI in some way- and trust me, I tried! I would rather take more time on a project than feed your personal information to a database that is destroying the environment, livelihoods, and lives.  

About E-Design:

1.) Why should I choose E-Design over traditional design services?

E-Design works great for people who want interior design services without the hefty price tag or strict timeline of traditional services. While E-Design requires you to make your own purchases and implement the design ideas, it also gives you more freedom and control.  Unlike traditional design services where you have to sacrifice thousands of dollars up front and navigate the awkwardness of having a stranger in your home, the E-Design process is meant to be easy, virtual, and budget friendly. You can meet with me on your schedule, make purchases when it makes sense for you, and start transforming your space at your own pace.  This service also works well for people who aren't usually catered to with traditional design services: DIY lovers who want a hand in making their space theirs, thrifters who love hunting for the perfect piece of antique furniture, young adults whose apartments are entirely furnished with third generation hand-me-downs, or those who just want a space that reflects their personality instead of being a boring, beige box. 

2.) Will you purchase products for me?

Nope! To keep this process simple and streamlined, all furniture and decor should be purchased by you. 

3.) Will you come to my space and decorate/paint/build furniture?

I do occasionally offer in-person design services, so if you're interested in in-person services, please reach out to me at fayeshideaways@gmail.com! But no, I do not offer in-person services in any capacity for e-design clients. 

4.) Why do you not design kitchens/bathrooms/garages?

Great question! Kitchens/bathrooms/garage makeovers often require more structural changes than I am comfortable doing. These spaces also present more logistical challenges that are complicated by the virtual nature of E-Design. 

About Accessible E-Design:

1.) Who is accessible e-design for?

This service is for anyone who is disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, or dealing with any ongoing health conditions. It's designed to give extra time and attention for people who could benefit from their space being more accessible or adaptive for their needs. The only differences between this service and standard e-design are the amount of time allotted and the questions asked in both the intake form and the client call.

2.) Do I need to identify as disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent to access accessible e-design services?

No, not neccessarily. If you would benefit from a more adaptive and accessible space because of physical or mental health needs, you can access these services! 

About Payment for Design Services:

1.) How did you set your prices?

Fair question! As a solo designer and business owner, I do everything myself including: meeting clients, designing, marketing, and business admin-including making this entire website myself! Your business helps me keep my business going, pay my rent, and put food on my table. But, I believe in transparency, so let me break down why my prices are the way they are.

A standard E-Design package for one room with no add-ons or revisions costs $550. That helps to cover my monthly overhead business expenses for software subscriptions, website hosting, marketing, and miscellanious supplies, which average around $120. You're also paying for my time as each space takes between 10-15 hours to complete from our first meeting to the final design. That means for a one room project my average rate per hour, before taxes, is $35.  So, while I'm certainly not doing this to get rich, I love this work. Thank you for helping me fulfill my childhood dreams while also helping me pay for my healthcare :)

About the Art Shop

1.) Who created the designs and how?

I created them myself! All of the art prints were digitally drawn by me using Procreate and I occasionally use Canva Pro fonts for the typography. No AI was used in the process. 

I use Sellfy's print-on-demand services for the manufacturing of the art prints, clothing, bags, and other physical items available for sale. 

2.) Can I get a refund?

I am unable to offer refunds for any purchased digital downloads or print of demand items. If there is an issue with your order, please reach out at fayehideaways@gmail.com
