THE DESIGNER’S EYE

Not more things.
Better decisions.

The right edit makes the pieces you already own feel intentional. It then identifies the few changes that will move the whole room forward.

BEHIND THE HOTLINE

A practiced eye.
A very honest
second opinion.

I’m Sumedha, an interior designer and artist with professional experience at an established interior design firm, where I worked on high-end residential projects. I hold an MFA in Interior Design from Pratt Institute and studied at Politecnico di Milano. I created The Design Hotline for rooms that may not need a full-service design engagement, but still deserve a trained eye, thoughtful rigor and clear direction.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Questions,
answered.

Everything you need to know about working together virtually.

Can you help me if I don’t live in California?+

Yes. The Design Hotline is a completely virtual interior design service available worldwide. Recommendations are tailored to your location, preferred currency and access to retailers.

Which service should I choose?+

Choose The Design Check for one specific decision, The Designer Edit for broader direction in one room, and The Extended Edit for multiple rooms or connected functional zones.

What counts as one room or zone?+

A room is one enclosed space with a primary function. In an open-plan space, separately functioning areas may count as individual zones. A living area and dining area, for example, count as two zones even when they share one room.

Do we have to schedule a call?+

Everything is handled virtually through your questionnaire, photographs, measurements and links, so you can complete the process around your schedule. If clarification is essential, The Design Hotline will contact you by email.

Can you work with what I already own?+

Absolutely. Every service begins by identifying what should stay, what should change and what—if anything—needs to be added.

Do you help renters?+

Yes. Tell us about any restrictions in your questionnaire, and the recommendations will prioritize renter-friendly solutions where needed.

When does my delivery timeline begin?+

Your turnaround begins once your payment, completed questionnaire, photographs and necessary measurements have been received. You will receive an email confirming your official delivery date.

Are revisions included?+

The Designer Edit and Extended Edit each include one follow-up question for clarification. The Design Check is designed as one focused recommendation, while additional directions or redesigns can be scoped separately.

Will you purchase products for me?+

You’ll receive clear product recommendations while remaining in control of purchasing, delivery and returns. Always confirm dimensions, finish samples, shipping, pricing and availability with the retailer before purchasing.

Do you provide renderings or construction drawings?+

The Design Hotline is centered on practical design direction—furniture, décor, layout, scale, styling and product recommendations. Photorealistic renderings, technical drawings, architectural services and contractor coordination fall outside this focused service.

START WITH YOUR ROOM

Tell us what feels off.

Share the room and the decision you’re facing. We’ll review it and recommend the right level of help.

If another service—or no paid service—is more appropriate, we’ll tell you honestly before any payment is taken.

Do I pay now?

No. This is a short initial inquiry. After reviewing your room, we’ll email the recommended service, availability and payment link.

Can my home be outside the United States?

Yes. The Design Hotline is virtual and available worldwide.

What happens after payment?

You’ll receive the full room questionnaire for photographs, measurements, links and the details needed to begin your edit.

No payment is taken today. You’ll receive a personal response within two business days with the recommended service and next steps.
