Question 2

What interior design services does Wendy Combs Studio offer?

Full-Service Interior Design is a comprehensive design experience for both furnishings and renovation projects.

Question 3

What is a Design Immersion consultation?

Accepted Answer

A Design Immersion is a high-touch, 1-to-3-day in-home experience where we spend dedicated time together walking through your space, talking through your goals, and creating a complete design direction in real time. You walk away with an online personal design studio containing all design choices, curated selections, and any drawings or concept renderings.

Question 4

How much does an interior designer cost in Portland, Oregon?

Accepted Answer

At Wendy Combs Studio, design fees are structured as a flat fee paid in installments. You can expect to spend roughly $3,000 to $5,000 per room for design fees. Furnishing a home with a designer starts at a minimum of $20,000 to $30,000 per fully designed room, with investment increasing based on size, quality, custom pieces, and the mix of furnishings. Interior renovation projects for kitchens, bathrooms, and multi-room updates usually begin around $100,000 depending on scope.

Question 5

Where does Wendy Combs Studio work?

Accepted Answer

We primarily work with clients throughout the Portland metro area, including Lake Oswego, West Linn, Dunthorpe, the West Hills, and close-in Eastside neighborhoods like Irvington, Eastmoreland, and Laurelhurst. We also take on select projects throughout the United States when the fit and timing are right.

Question 6

What styles does Wendy Combs Studio specialize in?

Accepted Answer

We lean toward warm modern interiors with clean lines, natural textures, layered materials, and a collected feel. We tailor every project to reflect each client's tastes rather than following a template or trend. Whether eclectic, classic, or a blend of contemporary and vintage, our expertise is in creating polished yet livable homes.

Question 7

How does Wendy Combs Studio charge for interior design?

Accepted Answer

We structure design fees as a flat fee paid in installments based on your particular scope of work. Every project is unique, so we begin each full-service design project with an in-home consultation to develop the scope and calculate the fee. This avoids the mystery of hourly billing and surprise invoices.

Question 8

How do I know if I need a Design Immersion or Full-Service Interior Design?

Accepted Answer

Design Immersions are best for homeowners who want a focused, in-home design experience where we solve the right problems, make key decisions together, and create a clear direction. Full-Service Design is for homeowners who want a complete, end-to-end experience where we create the full vision, develop all furnishings and decor, provide renovation design, and handle procurement and installation.
