Common Questions

Good design starts with clarity.

Here's what most people ask before we begin.

01. Why does a building science background matter in design?
It allows me to assess structural integrity, lighting constraints, and spatial flow at a deeper level, ensuring design decisions highlight a space’s strengths while remaining practical and sound. I see what’s working, what’s not, and why.

​

02. What areas do you serve?
Sage & Cove Studio is based in Kingston and serves Amherstview, Napanee, Gananoque, Belleville, Brockville, Picton, and surrounding communities throughout Eastern Ontario.

​

03. Do you offer staging for occupied homes?
Yes. We provide full staging for vacant homes and Styling & Refresh services for homeowners living in their property during the sale process. View more information on Styling & Refresh.

​

04. What’s the difference between Interior Design and Styling & Refresh?
Interior Design is a full-service engagement — spatial planning, sourcing, and installation.
Styling & Refresh is a lighter touch. We work primarily with what you already own, editing and rearranging to create a space that feels resolved. A consultation can help determine which is right for you.

​

05. What if I’m not sure which service I need?
That’s exactly what the consultation is for. We’ll walk through your space together and give you clear direction on what would have the most impact — no commitment required.

​

06. How much does staging cost?
Pricing depends on the scope of the project, the size of the space, and whether it’s occupied or vacant. A consultation gives us the information needed to provide an accurate quote.
