It's a common misconception that interior design is only for the elite. But at Sims + Co Design, we believe interior design is for all. Every home can benefit from a design plan to make life flow through it with grace, poise, and a little fun!
Working with an interior designer can help you save time, money, and mental energy, allowing you to focus your attention on what matters most to you. We can help you access exclusive furnishings, identify the best trades experts for your job, and ensure that your home looks and functions exactly how you want it to.
Our design fee starts at a minimum of $2,900. We are a bespoke interior design studio, so we customize our proposals to you based on what we uncover during our 30-minute discovery call and 2-hour design consultation. Currently, we are only accepting projects with a minimum budget (including products) of $25,000.

We don't really ascribe to one specific style, as the client's need drives our design eye. However, we love interior designs that can stand the test of time, feel soothing, warm, and organic, and help improve health and wellness.
Our design team will manage your home's new interior design including our Principal Designer.

We are a boutique interior design studio based in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving Charlotte and nearby communities of Davidson, Lake Norman, Huntersville, Mooresville, Lake Wylie and Waxhaw, plus nearby Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Have a home outside of our area? By traveling and providing digitized design work, we are able to support robust design engagements across the United States.
Our discovery call usually lasts around 30 minutes and is followed by a 2-hour In-Home Consultation. We'll then invite you to our office for a 2-3 hour interior design presentation. Once this is approved, the design development or "envision" phase will take around 4-8 weeks.
When it comes to the actual implementation of your interior design, this varies significantly from home to home and depends on various factors. However, we can provide you with an estimated timeline early on in the process to help you plan accordingly.
Absolutely! We know that ordering different interior finishes, products, and materials can be painful, and so can overseeing deliveries and shipping, so we completely remove this headache for you! We order everything to our warehouse before delivering it to your property for installation at the end of the project.
We will generally invoice you separately for all interior finishes, products, materials, and furnishings and have you pay tradespeople directly.
Proactive, comprehensive, and transparent! We want you to feel fully supported throughout your interior design journey, so we'll make sure to keep you in the loop at every stage and only as much as you want. Together, we'll devise a communication process that works best for you—whether it's weekly check-ins or bi-weekly emails.
When life is in motion, the last thing you need is an extra surprise. Use our by-room guide to estimate your total interior design budget ahead of time.
