FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Xela Andrews Interiors is a full-service residential interior design firm specializing in new construction, renovations, and furnishings.

From initial concepts and space planning to material selections, furnishings, and final installation, we guide our clients through the design process to create timeless, thoughtfully layered homes that reflect the people who live in them.

Ideally, as early as possible! We recommend involving an interior designer during the initial planning stages, before architectural plans are finalized or construction begins.

Early collaboration allows us to thoughtfully consider space planning, cabinetry, lighting, architectural details, and material selections before decisions become costly or difficult to change.

We work alongside your architect and builder to help create a cohesive vision for your home.

Every project is unique, and our design fees reflect the scope, complexity, and level of involvement required.

Our services range from thoughtfully curated room refreshes to comprehensive renovations and new construction projects. Design fees are established based on the specific needs of your project and are presented in a detailed proposal following our initial consultation.

Design fees are separate from construction costs, furnishings, materials, and other project-related expenses.

We believe in transparency and helping clients understand the overall investment before moving forward.

Your design fee covers the professional expertise, creative development, planning, documentation, and coordination involved in designing your space.

Your project budget covers the actual investment in construction, materials, cabinetry, lighting, furnishings, and other elements needed to bring the design to life.

We discuss both early in the process to help establish realistic expectations and align the design direction with your investment goals.

While contractors focus on the construction and execution of your renovation, an interior designer focuses on how your home will look, feel, and function.

At Xela Andrews Interiors, we thoughtfully consider everything from space planning and cabinetry design to lighting, material selections, and the finishing details that bring a home together.

By involving an interior designer early in the process, we can help you make informed decisions, avoid costly changes, and create a cohesive design plan before construction begins.

We believe the best results come from collaboration. Your contractor brings the expertise to build your home, while we bring the creative vision and detailed planning that make it uniquely yours.

Absolutely! We believe the most successful projects are built on collaboration.

We're happy to work alongside your existing team or help connect you with trusted industry professionals when appropriate.

Our role is to ensure the interior design vision is thoughtfully developed and clearly communicated throughout the project.

While we specialize in comprehensive new construction, renovations, and full-service furnishings, we also consider smaller projects when they align with our services and availability.

Whether you're refreshing a living room, reimagining a primary bedroom, or planning a more extensive transformation, we begin by learning about your goals and determining the best approach for your space.

Our process is designed to make the experience collaborative, organized, and enjoyable.

We begin with a complimentary discovery call to learn about your project, goals, timeline, and anticipated investment. If we're a good fit, we schedule an in-person design consultation to evaluate the scope of work before preparing a customized proposal.

Once engaged, we move through conceptual design, detailed design, purchasing and execution, and, when included in the project scope, final installation and styling.

Throughout the process, we guide decisions, manage design details, and help bring your vision to life.

Xela Andrews Interiors is based in the Nashville area, serving clients throughout Brentwood, Franklin, Nashville, and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities.

We also work with select clients in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and consider projects outside our primary service area depending on scope and location.

We'd love to hear about your project!

The first step is to schedule a complimentary discovery call, where we'll discuss your project goals, timeline, anticipated investment, and how we might work together.

If we determine we're a good fit, the next step is an in-person design consultation ($250). This allows us to walk through your space, better understand your vision, and evaluate the scope of work so we can develop a proposal tailored to your project.

Following the consultation, we'll prepare a customized proposal outlining our recommended services, design fees, and next steps.

Our goal is to make the process thoughtful, collaborative, and transparent from the very beginning.
