Q: How much does a consultation cost?
A: At-Home Consultations are a flat rate of $250.
Q: How long do they last?
A: All consultations last an hour and a half. Depending on your location, they typically start at 6:45pm and go until 8:15pm.
Q: Where will you travel?
A: All consultations in Boston are included in the flat $250. We can arrange to travel outside of the city for a travel fee of $50 per hour.
Q: Who conducts the consultation?
A: All consultations are conducted by founders and owners, Miggy Mason and Roisin Giese. We believe two heads are better than one!
Q: What can I expect during the consultation?
A: We start with a tour of your space and then discuss the specific design challenges you'd like to focus on. We often take time to brainstorm ideas and come up with an action plan before calling you back into the space to present our worked-through solutions. Our suggestions include ideas for arranging furniture, creating a color story, displaying art, selecting window treatments, and discovering additional pieces for your space.
Q: What is your availability?
A: We typically conduct all consultations on Wednesday evenings. We occasionally have availability on Mondays during the day and/or Thursday evenings.
Q: What do you need from me ahead of time?
A: It is always helpful to have a few images of the space you'd like to focus on, as well as a list of your priorities.
Q: What do you leave me with?
A: During our visit, we suggest having a notebook handy for suggestions we make regarding furniture and decor sources, paint ideas, floor plans, styling, etc. We aim to leave you with an action plan for creating a well-designed space.
Q: How do I know if a consultation is right for me?
A: At-Home Consultations are great for clients that would like insight and advice from interior designers, but are interested in executing the design on their own. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes and a proposed design direction is just what you need.
Q: Can I have you come back again?
A: Of course! We often return to clients' homes for repeat visits. Whether it's help with another room or assistance with making the final decisions on furniture and decor choices.
Q: How do I schedule an At-Home Consultation?
A: We'd love to hear from you! You can email us at hello@twelvechairsboston.com, call us at 617.701.3496, or stop by the shop and visit with us in person.

Every piece that was selected here has something special about it, yet they all work together without trying to upstage one another. It all comes together effortlessly to create a bright and cheerful space with real substance. A little peppy-ness with a whole lot of polish.
It's been a little over a year since the official launch of the design services side of Twelve Chairs (the "studio" in Twelve Chairs | Shop + Studio). In addition to full service interior design, we also offer at-home design consultations. For an inside look at how it works, we've put together a list of frequently asked questions.
The layers and layers of pattern give this room it's wow factor. By mixing up the print sizes/ styles of the headboard, window treatments, wallpaper and even the wall decor, what could have been your typical traditional bedroom (with mahogany four-poster bed and all) becomes a fresh, upbeat space.
I am a huge fan of breakfast nooks. The name alone sounds like a cozy way to begin the morning routine. I especially like the elements of this one. In addition to coveting the chairs and light fixture, I like that the flooring tile adds pattern in a subtle way and that drawers are built into the banquette for extra storage. This lovely nook is both beautiful and functional - the perfect combination!
This navy linen bench with antique brass nailheads is just one of the pieces we still have available as part of our 50% off floor model sale. An update on what's sold and what's still available can be found here. Stop in or call with any questions!
