PERFECT FOR YOU IF
Create a completely bespoke home in Darien with Atelier Roux’s Full Service Interior Design Services. From top to bottom, you’ll partner with our team to hone in on your vision and seamlessly bring it to life.
Whether it's a new build or a renovation, our process begins with an in-depth architectural review. We work alongside you and your architect to optimize your floor plan for flow and function. This includes planning your reflected ceiling plan (RCP) and furniture layout to ensure cohesiveness and address your needs. This foundational step is crucial to creating a space that is both beautiful and functional.
We collaborate closely with you to understand your aspirations, budget, and timeline and define a clear scope of work. The discovery phase is pivotal in uncovering the essence of your project and understanding your vision, lifestyle, and needs. Through this phase, we conceptualize your home's potential, offering preliminary floor plans and programming to bring your ideas to life.
As our initial plans take form, we develop technical space plans and detailed architectural drawings. We’ll source unique materials, furnishings, art, and objects and present these through visual and tactile presentation to help you understand how your new home will feel and function. The final proposal is presented with the selections, and once approved, we move into production.
In the furnishings design phase, we carefully select pieces that are both functional and beautiful, including furnishings, art, and decor that align with your personal style and practical needs. We prioritize craftsmanship, working closely with skilled artisans to create unique, bespoke items. Additionally, we emphasize quality by choosing durable textiles and sourcing timeless pieces that will define and enhance your home. Our approach ensures that each element contributes to a cohesive and elegant living environment, combining aesthetic appeal with enduring comfort.
Once the design is finalized, we initiate the procurement process by requesting funds to execute our meticulous white-glove approach. We handle everything from ordering fabrics, materials, and furnishings to ensure a seamless execution. Our team meticulously tracks and inspects every item, coordinating closely with our trusted vendors to maintain exceptional quality throughout. Additionally, we manage the project closely, overseeing construction drawings and conducting site visits to ensure that key milestones align with the intended design vision.
Our installation process is meticulous and structured to bring your vision to life seamlessly. Our team carefully places furnishings, art, and décor according to detailed floor plans, paying special attention to lighting and layout to create functional and harmonious spaces. We prioritize your preferences, making adjustments as needed to ensure a flawless transformation. A final walkthrough guarantees that you are delighted with every aspect of the completed design.
Crafting your living space should be a delightful journey. With our white-glove approach, we prioritize your time and investment throughout the entire process. From discovery to installation, we seamlessly guide you, ensuring your design experience is effortless and rewarding.

We’ve designed our process to be as hands-off for our clients as possible (that’s why you’ve invested in working with us, after all!). But it’s your home, and we’ll get the best results when you’re involved in a few key stages of the process.
Set aside time to prepare and attend all the design meetings and to provide timely feedback after each presentation. These key milestones are critical to keeping your project on track and on budget. In our proposal, we will incorporate all planned meeting dates and schedule them in advance to ensure the timely progress of your project.
We source from an extensive network of exclusive suppliers, artisans, and showrooms. We meticulously select pieces that exemplify quality, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Our team's expertise ensures that every item chosen for your project aligns with your refined aesthetic and meets the highest standards of luxury.
Yes. We are based in New York and Paris, but we work on projects worldwide, including Darien, depending on your needs and project scope.
It's crucial to define your preferred style before assembling your team. Ideally, the interior designer, architect, and builder should collaborate from the start to maintain design integrity. An experienced designer oversees every detail, streamlining selection decisions and establishing a cohesive material palette and furniture/lighting plans that guide construction. These elements are interconnected, so hiring the trio together is essential.
We aim to create a home that reflects your personality and preferences. The number of revision rounds depends on the project type and the work scope.
Most designers, like Atelier Roux, have two primary sources of income: design fees and product sales. Designers derive a substantial part of their income from fees associated with their design services, covering aspects like conceptualization, planning, project management, and execution.
Clients pay for their expertise, creativity, and guidance during the project. Additionally, designers can access diverse suppliers and manufacturers to select and source products that match the design vision, sometimes adding a markup or commission, which enhances their overall earnings.
Start by thinking about how many items it takes to get a room pulled completely together. Now imagine someone else doing it for you! This is an investment. While we obviously must account for our time and business practices, we save you money in the long run by avoiding poor buying choices, overspending on the wrong pieces, and making too many misguided mistakes. The cohesive process, including our design time, should always save you money in the long run!
