Frequently Asked Questions
What does a residential interior designer actually do?
Think of us as your trusted guide throughout the design process. From renovations and new construction to whole-home furnishing projects, we help homeowners navigate countless decisions with confidence. We create the vision, coordinate the details, collaborate with your project team, and ensure every element works together seamlessly—so you can enjoy the transformation without managing every detail yourself.
Why should I hire an interior designer?
The most successful projects begin with thoughtful planning. An interior designer helps you avoid costly mistakes, streamline decision-making, maximize your investment, and create a home that feels cohesive from room to room. We help bring clarity to a complex process while ensuring the finished result reflects both your lifestyle and long-term goals.
How much does interior design cost?
Every project is unique, which means every investment is unique as well. Fees are based on the size, scope, complexity, and level of service required. Whether you're furnishing a single room, renovating a kitchen, or transforming an entire home, we create customized proposals tailored to your project's specific needs.
What types of projects do you take on?
Fitz Haus specializes in renovations, new construction, and whole-home furnishing projects throughout Central Pennsylvania. While we occasionally take on select room transformations, our focus is partnering with homeowners seeking a thoughtful, highly personalized design experience and a cohesive vision for their home.
Do I need a huge budget to work with you?
Not necessarily. We work with clients who view their homes as a long-term investment and value thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and professional guidance. During the inquiry process, we'll discuss your goals, priorities, and investment expectations to determine whether we're the right fit for one another.
What does your design process look like?
Every project begins with completing the Inquiry Form and consultation so we can understand your home, lifestyle, goals, and project scope. From there, we develop a tailored design plan, guide selections and decision-making, collaborate with your architect, builder, and trades as needed, and remain involved through implementation to help ensure the original vision is thoughtfully executed.
Do you take on a limited number of projects each year?
Yes. As a boutique design studio, we intentionally limit the number of projects we accept in order to provide each client with a highly personalized experience and direct access to Abby throughout the design process. This allows us to remain deeply involved in every detail and deliver the level of service our clients expect.
Can Fitz Haus assist with selecting furniture and accessories for my home?
Absolutely. In addition to renovations and new construction projects, Fitz Haus provides comprehensive furnishings and styling services. We help clients select furniture, lighting, artwork, window treatments, rugs, accessories, and custom pieces that create a cohesive, functional, and beautifully finished home. Whether furnishing a single room or an entire home, every selection is thoughtfully curated to reflect your lifestyle and design goals.
