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.
