+ sourcing (optional)

includes:
• Guidance on a specific project
• Help with developing a unique and personal style
• Time and project management
• Client interactions (achieve a successful trusting relationship, create kind boundaries, & balance a professional but warm demeanor)

FAQs
At what point in the project should I reach out?
As soon as you know you are renovating! The best outcome in a project is when there is a collaboration from the start with the architect and builder/contractor. That way we can work on all the layouts and exterior choices with the architect from the start.
Do you work on remote projects?
Yes. Every project that comes our way is evaluated for fit, location and availability.
Do you work with your own vendors and contractors, or others as well?
We work with all. Our vendors are trusted and vetted by us which is always a plus for your project. But we can work with your own choosings as well. Contractors are usually hired by you, the client, but we can help with references or final choices.
How do I know if I’m a good fit for the weekly consultations?
The weekly consultations and sourcing are geared towards someone with either a small project or one who has done most of the work on their own and needs some one on one assistance. It is also for someone who needs finishing work on their project. And for others who need remote work.
I'm not an interior designer but would love design coaching for myself, can I book a coaching session?
The design coaching that is offered by Silka is geared specifically to interior designers who currently have projects. Having a degree is not necessary, but having a practice/ clients is. There will be future course offerings that would be geared towards learning design.
