Twin Cities
interior design.

Beautiful and livable space grounded for how you actually live.

“I don’t even know where to start.”

You don’t have to know what you want. You just need to know that you want help, or that you need it. That’s enough to begin. The style questionnaire, the conversation at your consultation, the back and forth as we go, that’s exactly how we get from “I don’t know” to a room you love. You don’t have to have answers. You just have to reach out.

CONSULTATION Up to two hours – $300

Every great design project starts with active listening. Before I arrive at your home, you’ll receive a style questionnaire through my design platform. Complete it at your convenience and send it back when you’re ready. Your answers help me understand everything that matters: the rooms you want to focus on, what’s staying, what’s new, your budget, timeline, style preferences, and how you actually live in your space.

When we meet, we walk through your rooms together, talk through what’s working and what isn’t, and discuss real solutions. By the end of our consultation most clients have a clear sense of how they’d like to move forward. Afterward you’ll receive a written summary of our consultation along with proposed services and investment details.

DESIGN CONCEPT AND PLAN Per room – $400

Once you’re ready to move forward, I translate our consultation into a detailed, room-by-room design plan that includes a floor plan and design board featuring actual furniture, flooring, lighting, and décor recommendations with direct links to retailers. One revision is included. Your completed plan is delivered digitally so you can reference it anytime. Contractor referrals to my network of vetted Twin Cities tradespeople are also available as needed.

Furniture and Décor Sourcing – $100/hour

Rather than spending hours searching on your own, let me do the shopping for you, or with you. I know where to shop, what to look for, and how to find pieces that work beautifully together within your budget.

On-Site Installation and Styling – $100/hour

When your furnishings arrive, I can be there to bring it all together, placing rugs, arranging furniture, hanging drapes and wall art, and styling décor on built-ins and tabletops. There’s no substitute for having a designer on-site when the pieces finally come together. Styling only, without new purchases, is also available as a standalone service.

“Roberta was tremendously helpful when I was moving into my new townhouse. She quickly evaluated each room’s function, flow, and focal point, and arranged furniture to complement each space as well as meet my needs. Not only did she incorporate my existing furniture and accessories but made recommendations for some new pieces based on the look and feel I wanted. I love my new home.”

“In the beginning of moving from our suburban home of 20 years to a downtown Mpls condo, it was easy to get overwhelmed by how many items we needed to purchase. Roberta helped us to prioritize our furniture purchases and broke the design process down into phases. She was friendly, relaxed, and always responsive to email and texts. A true professional!”

“I have sought out and relied on Roberta’s advice on home décor for years. She has excellent taste, and I trust her to help me choose just the right paint colors, furniture and accents. She brings her trained artist’s/designer’s eye to the job as well as a practical approach that works with your budget and current furnishings. She’s organized, reliable, detail-oriented, friendly, and she really cares about and always comes through for her clients. A joy to work with!”

“Roberta helped us with the daunting task of redecorating following a full remodel of our main living areas. She provided valuable input on paint colors, furniture, light fixtures all the way down to throw pillows. She worked around existing decor we wanted to keep and found new items that tied in with the existing. I definitely recommend working with her!”

Questions people ask me.

A few things homeowners often want to know before reaching out.

My process starts with an in-home consultation to learn about your design goals, lifestyle and preferred design styles, budget, and timeline. From there, you can choose from services including but not limited to floor planning, design solutions, and sourcing of furniture, lighting, flooring, window treatments, and other decor items.

You can avoid costly mistakes by working with a designer upfront rather than during a re-do that didn’t work out the way you hoped. I also pass my trade discounts on to my clients whenever possible.

Very often you will receive your initial, in-home consultation within a week or two of your first contact with Birch Hill Interiors. Design solutions will be provided within the following week. The length of the whole process is more dependent on the homeowner’s response time in providing feedback.

Yes. Birch Hill Interiors belongs to the Real Estate Staging Association which has about 40 local members who are designers as well as stagers. We often refer contractors to each other.

A design style questionnaire is emailed to you before your initial consultation which will help you define one or more styles that you prefer. Sometimes homeowners think they like one style and along the way, they learn that their preferences have actually evolved. It’s a process.
