The Experience
Whether you're planning a new build, renovating, or furnishing an existing space, we help you decide where to begin and how to move forward.
You don't need a finished vision or an existing design to work with us. A Clarity Session gives you guidance and priorities for a property you already have. With Comprehensive Design, we create the design with you and manage sourcing, coordination, installation, and styling from the start.
We begin with how your space needs to work.
Before recommending changes, we take time to understand how you use the property, what works, and what feels unresolved. Your routines, preferences, budget, and plans for the space shape the direction. We build on your ideas and consider how layout, lighting, materials, and furnishings work together.
We explain the thinking behind our recommendations and make room for questions and feedback. Clarity gives you a property assessment and an order of priorities. Comprehensive Design continues that collaboration through planning, coordination, and completion. Both begin with understanding what you need now and what you want the property to become.
Clarity Session
Property-wide · Up to three hours
A Clarity Session is usually our first paid engagement: a property-wide walkthrough of up to three hours with Lauryn. The entire property is in scope. We focus our time on the areas and decisions with the greatest impact; the depth in each area depends on the property's size and your priorities.
Before you book, we begin with a brief call, about five minutes, to understand your project and see whether we are a fit. We discuss the session fee on this call and confirm it in writing before you book. During the walkthrough, Lauryn helps you put words to what doesn't feel right and see what the space could become.
Within five business days of the session, you receive your Property Assessment & Priorities. Lauryn revisits the walkthrough to prepare a tailored document with an overall direction, observations, recommended changes, and practical next steps. It identifies what to keep, what to address first, and what can wait, including where further design support would help.
Choose this if you want to understand what your space needs and have written recommendations to return to as you decide your next steps.

Who it’s for
People who already have a space and want experienced guidance before deciding what to do next. You may have ideas but need help understanding what the space needs and where to focus. If you want the studio to design and deliver the full project, Comprehensive Design is the next conversation.
Comprehensive Design
Designed for effortless living.
Comprehensive Design is end-to-end interior design, carrying one vision from the first idea to the final photograph.
It supports new builds, full renovations, and existing spaces that need furnishing and styling. Our work spans private residences, hotels, restaurants, and retail spaces.
We develop and present a complete design, then refine it with your feedback. We narrow the options into considered choices and manage the details, so creating your home doesn't become another job.
We manage ordering, tracking, delivery logistics, and coordination with your project team, with clear updates throughout. Our scope covers architectural details, furniture, lighting, rugs, and curtains. From furniture placement to linens and tableware, we consider the details that make a home ready to live in.
Choose this if you want the studio to create your design and manage the project from the first plans through installation.
Included
- Overall design direction and concept, presented through mood boards.
- Spatial planning and flow, including floor plans, elevations, and renderings.
- Selection of materials, fixtures, and finishes, with material samples and specification sheets.
- Custom cabinetry, built-ins, and architectural details, as the project requires.
- Furniture, lighting, hardware, plumbing fixtures, and appliances.
- Art curation, styling, rugs, curtains, and upholstery.
- Florals, plants, outdoor furnishings, and landscape coordination when included in the project scope.
- Coordination with your architect, builder, and artisans to carry the design through consistently.

Not included
- A standalone property assessment and written recommendations. These are offered through a Clarity Session.

Questions Answered
How do I start?
Inquire on the contact page or email hello@laurynsimasdesigns.com. Tell us which service interests you, or that you’re not sure. We’ll help you choose the right next step.
Do I need to know what I want before we start?
No. Some people arrive with a clear picture. Some don’t. The first conversation is how we find out what the space needs, and which way in fits.
How involved am I in the decisions?
As involved as you want to be. In Comprehensive Design you receive the full design as a complete presentation, with a recorded walkthrough so you can sit with it on your own time. There is a feedback window to comment and request revisions, and we refine until it feels right rather than until the clock runs out.
Who handles purchasing, delivery, and installation?
The studio handles sourcing, purchasing, delivery, installation, and styling as part of Comprehensive Design. A Clarity Session includes guidance and written recommendations, but not purchasing or installation.
How long does a project take?
A Clarity Session is a property-wide walkthrough of up to three hours. Your Property Assessment & Priorities arrives within five business days of the session. Comprehensive Design runs on the project's own timeline. A furnishing and styling project moves in months; a new build or full renovation follows construction. We set expectations for your specific space in the first conversation.
Does a Clarity Session cover the entire property?
Yes. The entire property is in scope, with a maximum of three hours in person. We focus on the areas and decisions with the greatest impact. The depth in each area depends on the property’s size and your priorities.
If I start with a Clarity Session, can it lead into Comprehensive Design?
Yes, and it often does. If you move into Comprehensive Design afterward, the Clarity Session fee is credited toward the studio’s design fee.
How are design fees discussed?
Clarity is a paid engagement. We discuss the session fee during the brief fit call and confirm it in writing before you book. For Comprehensive Design, we quote the studio’s design fee after understanding your project’s scope. Your budget for furnishings, materials, and construction is discussed separately, so you know what each amount covers before you proceed.
Do you work outside Dallas-Fort Worth?
Yes. The studio is based in DFW and takes projects beyond it. Travel is arranged as part of the engagement and discussed up front, so there are no surprises.
Who is Lauryn Simas Designs?
Lauryn Simas is founder and principal designer. Interior Design degree from the Art Institute of Dallas. Sixteen years of professional work.
Do you only design homes?
No. Residential and commercial, from a private residence to a hotel, a restaurant, or a retail floor.
Do you offer styling or staging on its own?
Occasionally, yes. We consider standalone styling and staging projects by inquiry, including projects for realtors. Tell us what you need, and we’ll let you know whether it fits the studio’s scope and availability.
How do you handle privacy?
We respect the privacy of our clients and their spaces. Project details are shared with the people who need them to carry out the work. Our agreement allows us to photograph and share the finished project unless we agree otherwise before the engagement.
How many clients do you work with at one time?
We keep our active client list small. We take on a limited number each year, which is how every client gets the attention that the work requires.
The process begins with a conversation.
If you're looking for someone to build something beautiful with you, all the way through, we should talk.
