All of our services start with an intake form and a clarity call to get to know you better and understand your project needs. Please choose from the service offerings below to get started.
Our Elemental Interiors service is our signature offering at JSD. Originating in China over 5,000 years ago, the five elements - Water - Wood - Fire - Earth - Metal - are still very much applicable in our modern world and living environments. These fundamental elements, which have evolved from yin and yang energies, work in a creative cycle to achieve harmonious balance in our living space. When balanced, these elements provide a supportive energy that is found in all things that are a part of any creative process. Our approach is to creatively and intentionally apply the five elements through the use of color, shape, texture, & pattern. Further, because these elements are energy systems or patterns, not only do we create a space that looks aesthetically pleasing, but we ensure it is energetically aligned as well. In turn, creating a space that feels just as good as it looks.
What is the process for getting started?
The first step is filling out the inquiry form on our site. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to schedule a clarity call with you so that we can ensure we are a mutually beneficial fit. Once we decide to move forward, a paid, in-home consultation will be scheduled to meet in person and review the project further. During this 90 minute consultation, we will discuss the scope of your project in further detail, as well as take photos and preliminary measurements. From here, our team will be able to draft a scope of work proposal. Once the scope is agreed upon and the contracts are signed, work will begin on the agreed upon start date.
What does a typical project timeline and investment look like?
While project scopes vary greatly, clients can expect a 6-12+ month timeline; longer for renovation projects. To avoid further delay, the sooner our team can be engaged with your project, all the better. Jade Scott Design specializes in highly customized interiors and boutique commercial properties. Because we are heavily involved in all aspects of the design and renovation phases, we typically see project investments over the $100k range.
How are design fees determined?
Jade Scott Design uses a combination of a flat fee and hourly rate. This varies greatly based on the project scope and designers role in the project. Once we review the scope of work in detail during the in-home consultation, we can accurately provide a designer rate & fee for the project. For a general estimation, residential projects can expect our fees to be 10-15% of the total project cost which includes construction and furnishings.
Do your fees include furnishings? And, am I responsible for purchasing all of the furniture and decor?
No. Our fees are separate from the construction and furnishing budget.
As part of our signature service, furnishings and decor are invoiced in full at the time of approval. Jade Scott Design provides all ordering, tracking, warehousing, and installation services. Additionally, all items are inspected upon arrival at our receiving warehouse and stored until we are able to perform a full installation.
Feng Shui
What is Feng Shui?
Feng Shui is the ancient art of placement developed in China thousands of years ago. Literally translated to Wind - Water, Feng Shui seeks to enhance and improve the flow of energy through a space, known as qi (chi). The walls of our home is what connects us to the natural world outside. Therefore, when we intentionally connect with nature through the lens of our living spaces, we create a sense of harmonious balance that transforms the energy of our homes and lives. Energetic alignment within the home is as essential to our well-being as it is for the mind and body. Adjustments made to your home are done intentionally to bring balance to your life.
How can Feng Shui help me?
Below are a few common ways in which Feng Shui can assist you:
Seeking more abundance in wealth or success
Finding passion and purpose in our career
Seeking or improving more loving relationships
Cultivating self love
Showing up with more confidence and joy
Healing issues around health or family burdens
Buying, selling, or staging real estate, as well as floor plan analysis for those working with a trusted architect or home builder
What is the process for getting started?
The first step is filling out the intake form on our site. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to schedule a clarity call with you to better understand your needs and lifestyle desires. From there, we will schedule an in-home consultation.
*Remote options are available to those outside the immediate Pittsburgh area
When is a good time to schedule a Feng Shui consultation?
There are several reasons as to why anyone would benefit from a Feng Shui consultation, but below are some common suggestions:
You know that something is “off” but you’re not sure what “it” is
You are seeking a safe, nourishing space that promotes healing or overall well-being
You are experiencing any sort of life transition
You are ready to make changes in your life and welcome in new opportunities as they relate to your career, relationships, or wealth & abundance; amongst many others
What does a typical consultation look like?
As you’ll note on the intake form, there are many areas of life and home where we can begin to assess. You can expect a typical consultation to take approximately 90 minutes. During our time together, we’ll evaluate your floor plan and furnishing layout to ensure it is in alignment with your goals and desires. Afterwards, you will have a greater understanding of how your home's energy has been potentially creating blocks in your life that have been hindering you from living the life you’ve intended. We will also discuss adjustments and recommendations to help shift your home's energy back into alignment with mind & body.
How much is a Feng Shui consultation?
Our 90 minute consultation fee is $450, due at the time of service. We accept cash, credit, or check.
Is there a follow up after the consultation? Sometimes I struggle with committing to take action on my own.
We do offer a one time 30 minute follow-up via Zoom typically 4-6 weeks after the in-home consultation.
For some clients, however, the energetic shift that comes with a Feng Shui adjustment can be overwhelming. There are times when we are processing deeply rooted physical, emotional, and mental blocks. In addition, some of the recommendations and adjustments can take time to process and/or accomplish; for example, a decluttering process. Because of this, we offer 3, 6, or 9 month accountability coaching services in addition to our 90-minute consultation. This will be discussed during our clarity call.
