FAQ

Working with Dwelling Place Interiors

What types of projects do we
work on?

To put it simply, we work on top-to-bottom transformations! This includes full-home renovations, design for new construction, complete room design and furnishing projects, or multi-room decorating projects. If you think your project might apply, I warmly invite you to book an initial discovery call with me.

What locations do we serve?

We’re based in Winnabow, NC and serve clients across Brunswick County and coastal North Carolina, including New Hanover, Leland, Ocean Isle Beach, Kure Beach, Sunset Beach, Shallotte, Wilmington, Hampstead, Carolina Beach, Oak Island, and beyond. Don't live here? No problem, we are delighted to work remotely on your project.

When is the best time to involve us in your design project? 

As early as possible! The sooner you can bring us into the conversation, the more impact we can have on the way your home looks, feels, and lives. 

For new homes and renovations, bringing us in alongside your architect and builder during the planning process is the perfect time. If your home has already been built or is under construction, we’re happy to be involved in furnishing it. For existing homes that you’re looking to refresh, you’re welcome to invite us in any time.

What trades do we work with during your project?

In short, all of them. We can work with any architect, builder, or contractor or refer you to several we know and trust. We also have our own extended network of expert painters, installers, seamstresses, carpenters, wallpaper hangers, and more. Part of our process can include assembling the perfect team for your project, as needed.

Do you need to be present during your design project?


Nope, your presence is not a requirement. In fact, many of our clients reside up north during their project, and we’re well-versed in managing everything for them. We can conduct meetings over Zoom, mail you physical materials samples for your approval, and email you weekly on-the-ground progress reports as your project evolves. 

Of course, if you’re in the area, we’re happy to meet in person… and we’ll still email you weekly progress updates anyway! We are your eyes and ears and the liaison between you and your building team. Plus, maintaining a great relationship and clear communication are part of our core values.

How would we describe our style?

Although each of our projects is a unique expression of our clients, our portfolio shares a commitment to enduring and livable quality, classic yet fresh style, and a love for the rich emotions inspired by color, texture, and pattern. You can expect a comfortable, personal, and WOW home!

How long can you expect your project to take?

The timeline of every project differs based on its scope, contractor and builder schedules, product lead times, and more. We will work with you to define your project’s most realistic timeline and keep you updated on its status as the work evolves. We aim to keep all of our projects within the original timeline estimates.

What can you expect to invest in the design of your home?


Like timelines, your overall investment will also depend on the details surrounding your project: its scope, the materials and level of customization you would like, current market rates. We will listen to your desires and work together to create an investment strategy that feels just right for you. 

Do you need to purchase your furnishings through us?

Yes… and you will want to! Our exclusive network of high-quality vendors is one of the biggest advantages of working with us. We have access to furniture lines and craftspeople that aren’t available to the public — and with those relationships comes greater customization options (for a truly unique home), wonderful customer service, professional installation, and more.

What is the first step to working together?

As a relationship-first design studio, we believe that the best projects start with getting to know each other. I invite you to book a no-strings-attached Discovery Call with me, Rochelle, to start the conversation. We’ll discuss your project, share more about our services, and see if we’re the right fit for each other. You can book your call using the form below.
