How much do your services cost?

Interior design can feel like a big decision — and we want to make it simple. At Tapa Interiors, we offer three main packages:

• Signature Space Package – from $6,500

• Room Refresh – from $2,500

• Virtual Interior Design (E‑Design) – $850 per room

Furniture, finishes, and styling are priced separately, often with a 15–25% markup on procured items. We recommend budgeting $30–$70/sq ft, depending on your quality preferences and project goals

How long does a typical project take?

Project timelines are as unique as your space:

• Signature Spaces: 8–12 weeks

• Room Refreshes: 3–6 weeks

• Virtual Projects: 2–3 weeks for deliverables, self-paced implementation

Your specific schedule depends on availability, ordering lead times, and whether installation support is included.

What exactly do you do as a designer?

Tapa Interiors doesn’t just decorate — we create spaces that tell your story. From layout planning to material selection, purchasing, and install coordination, we manage all the details so you don’t have to. Designers like us also prevent costly mistakes and bring access to trade-only resources

When should I hire an interior designer?

The earlier, the better! Ideally, you reach out before purchasing finishes, furniture, or hiring contractors. A designer adds value during planning by guiding selections and creating room flow—saving time, money, and headaches

Can I be involved in the process?

Definitely. Your input matters. Our process is collaborative: you can be as hands‑on or hands‑off as you like. We guide the journey, provide curated options, and listen deeply—but your voice is always part of the conversation

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Mesa, Arizona, and happily serve clients throughout the Greater Phoenix metro area. Virtual design services are available nationwide—no location limits.

How do you charge and when do I pay?

We work with flat-fee packages, not hourly. You’ll pay a non-refundable deposit at contract signing, two milestone payments, and a final ‘reveal’ installment at project wrap. For procurement items, you’ll receive vendor invoices directly—no surprises.

How do you handle construction or renovation coordination?

While we’re not general contractors, we can act as your trusted partner during construction. Our Signature Space and Room Refresh packages include coordination of design elements with your contractor. For larger-scale renovations, we offer a separate Renovation Support add-on to help with permit coordination and site presence.

Why should I hire an interior designer?

Hiring a designer is like getting an expert guide. We streamline decision-making, tap into professional trade channels, and ensure your home is functional and beautiful. Most importantly, we save you time (and money) by getting things right the first time

What if I’m just getting started and not sure what I need?

That’s okay! We offer a complimentary Discovery Call to get acquainted, review your project vision, and guide you to the right path — whether it’s full-service, refresh, or e-design.

Can you work within my budget?

Yes. We’ll ask you upfront about your total budget, and then design around it. Whether you're aiming for high-end finishes or seeking a beautiful balance of quality and cost, we’ll help you maximize every dollar

How often do you communicate during the project?

We communicate clearly and consistently. You’ll receive progress updates at key milestones (concept approval, sourcing, install), and during larger projects we conduct weekly check-ins via email or text—whatever works best for you.

What happens after the project is complete?

After the final install, you’ll receive a Project Close-Out Guide with care tips, contact info for any items, and a follow-up plan. We’ll check in after a month to ensure everything feels right and address any small adjustments.
