THE STUDIO SERVICES
Well-Crafted Home Design for Fostering a Lifestyle Where Living Fully Comes Naturally
Thoughtfully designed and filled with the essence of family values to achieve a refined yet cozy, collected home.
Specialty AREAS
FOR GOING ALL IN
Whole Home Design
Welcome a clean slate — whether through a complete renovation or design-only restoration. Feeling a sense of overwhelm? Lean on us. Because we’ll care for all the details while we work in phases, going from one high-priority room to the next to establish a functional, aesthetic flow.
FOR A MODEST INTERIOR FACELIFT
Living Space(s) Refresh
You know what they say: small changes, big impact. A room refresh with Cottage & Key brings fresh energy into one (or a few) of your favorite living spaces — without going full reno mode. Out with the old, in with the new as we walk through design decisions and selections, including furnishings, decor & accessories, paint, and window treatments.
Make the most of those labor-of-love tasks: cooking, cleaning, and much-needed moments of self-care. We’ll put our creativity and energy into crafting the areas of your home that require more time, thought, and potentially major construction. Our team is prepared to handle cabinetry and custom countertops, tile, mirrors, and lighting to achieve a seamless design.
FOR LIGHTENING UP HARD-WORKED SPACES
Kitchen, Bath, or Laundry Restoration
When it comes to making a home feel complete, it’s all in the details. If the larger pieces of your design project are in place, but you want an expert touch to wrap up remaining nooks and crannies, Cottage & Key is here. We’ll source products from Cottage Home Shoppe and our tried-and-true vendors to curate a personal, put-together look for you. Perfect for shelf styling, selecting and placing artwork, choosing drapery, and other accessorizing possibilities.
FOR THE FINER DETAILS
Interior Styling
Making it so you can do without saying, “I wish I had called you sooner.” Invite us in to be your sounding board — your designer on call — when those inevitable home design questions and challenges start taking up real estate in your mind (and life). Book your preferred virtual session length at a time that works for you, and we’ll give you creative advice and non-gatekept resources you need to feel encouraged to move forward.
FOR SOLUTIONS TO DESIGN DILEMMAS

Looking for virtual home design services?
While our design studio is based in Austin, Texas, we love to take the lead on projects situated in far-away locations. From interior styling to a refresh of your living spaces, and even whole home design, we maintain our well-designed, well-crafted approach — even from a distance.
The EXPERIENCE
PHASE 04
Putting It All Together
This stage in the process looks a bit different for everyone. Depending on the nature of your project, this might mean any or all of the following: our team orders the pieces for your space, oversees construction, and delivers and installs furnishings. In cases where anything feels undone, the invitation always stands for a design session with Cottage & Key.
PHASE 01
Gathering for Pre-Project Conversations
Let’s get to the heart of the matter: designing your home. But to do that, we want you to feel at ease bringing us in. Before anything else, we’ll have a discovery call to get to know you. You'll later receive an invitation for a detailed in-home or video consultation if you feel our design studio is the perfect match for you.
PHASE 02
Building Your Desires into Designs
Time to gather the details from those initial conversations and make sense of it all. Cottage & Key’s design team gets to work to create well-crafted solutions, drafting mood boards and room renderings that turn your preferences and desired functionality into tangible designs.
PHASE 03
Hands-on (Pre)viewing & Refining
Put eyes on the materials. Feel the fabrics and textures between your fingertips. Experience the elements you’ll engage with daily during our hands-on design presentation. We'll review and discuss your feedback so we can make any necessary refinements before bringing everything to life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! At our studio, we specialize in tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of every client.
Once you inquire, you can expect to receive an invitation to schedule a complimentary discovery call soon after. We’ll chat about your ideas and preferences so we can then craft a custom proposal that reflects your requirements and wishes.
We’re always happy to provide our design clients with a carefully selected list of contractors. When you reach out, be sure to specify the type of work you need help with and any requirements you have. That’ll help us customize our recommendations to align with your needs.
Cottage & Key Homes, our sister company, now offers limited renovation construction services – exclusively for our design clients. We invite you to get in touch today to learn more about this latest addition.
Of course! Our virtual design sessions are perfect for this. You’ll get one-on-one time with Melissa – our principal designer – to address lingering questions or decisions, whether it’s about floor plans, lighting selections, or anything else on your mind. Send us a note to schedule yours today.
