FAQS

What is full-service design?

Full-service design means your design team leads you through a collaborative process from the initial planning stages all the way through construction. At K Squared Design Studio we provide layouts + floor plans, cabinetry + lighting design, fixture selections, as well as construction drawings + specifications. In addition, many of our clients add furniture and decor design + procurement services to their projects which helps create the most cohesive design solution.

Full-service design creates a smooth client experience so you can sit back and relax while we handle the details and coordination.
