Small Space Consulting

I am offering one-on-one specialized Small Space Design Consultations. Combining over 15 years of experience in design and construction project management and advocating for living small, I want to help you make the most of your space. Some especially relevant reasons to have a consultation would be:

Adding a baby to a small space
Adding a second kid to a small space
Working from Home
Downsizing
Overwhelmed by your current layout and furniture/clutter
Creative storage and layout solutions to make the most of your small space
Personalized Furniture, Art and Lighting solutions
Encouragement from someone who has been there living in a small space with kids

THE MINI ONE X ONE - a mini one-on-one x 45 min virtual consultation. We will review your space together and I will offer real-time support, ideas and solutions for your space. A short questionnaire will be sent out prior to the consultation and you can send photos of your space prior to the session.

We spend 45 mins on google meet reviewing your space. You can show me around while we chat. Sometimes we talk layout. Sometimes we focus on a specific room like a kids room or a living room. Then I come up with real-time solutions for your space and you give me feedback on whether they work for you. It's a conversation about space and family needs/wants and it's very unique to you. I share links for furniture and lighting recommendations and inspiration images as we chat. I work within your budget and tailor suggestions to you. Sometimes we are measuring your space and finding exact furniture to fit it. Sometimes it's more about removing furniture and talking about habits and shifts to make the space work better for you. It's really about what you need to be comfortable and calm in your space. And I love getting to help one on one.

Feedback from past consults…

The 45 min. consult with Alison was easily the best design money I have ever spent. With a new baby in our downtown condo, I felt so strapped on space I even started house hunting, but Alison easily extended our time in the apartment by another 3 years! The call has been a game changer in how I appreciate our existing space. I am so grateful to have found her - she is not only a design genius, but really empathetic to a variety of clients' evolving needs and challenges.

Alison, thank you for sharing your talent and making it so accessible for families around the world.

Teresa L, Texas

“Her interior design skills are incredible, and she was able to creatively offer suggestions for making the entire space feel not only better utilized, but also far more beautiful than I could have done on my own. I was so impressed by her ability to, on the spot, suggest products and even DIY solutions that addressed my biggest concerns for the space. I am so happy to have worked with Alison, and I can't recommend her services enough.”

Amber O, California

“I found Alison’s blog and was thrilled to quickly have a consult with her. Her ideas for leveraging our space were simple but powerful. I was afraid we’d have a massive to do list ahead and we wouldn’t know where to start but at the end of the consult we felt excited and empowered to transform our home into the vision that Alison laid out. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Monique M, Toronto

“The consult was great. It helped to focus my energies on our problem areas and really push to get the most out of our space… We streamlined bedding and lighting to make everything feel less cluttered. And we are really maximizing vertical storage! Thank you for your time and for being such an amazing resource.”

Amanda G, NYC

“Alison may be 3,000 miles away from our home but thanks to her amiable and strong disposition - and the miracle of the internet - it just feels like she’s right there, next to you, giving invaluable advise. She did an amazing job researching and communicating choices and redecorating our space. Top notch professional with great taste!”

Ricardo M, NYC

“Our consult with Alison was amazing! My eldest, Claire, had been really frustrated about sharing a room with her younger sister, and the conflict had been escalating in the past several months. After one session with Alison, Claire's feelings completely changed and she became so excited about having her own space within the small shared room. Since the consult, Claire hasn't complained once that she needs to share a room and we haven't even applied all of Alison's personalized recommendations yet! After the session, I had so many ideas about how to increase space efficiency, make it more inviting, allow each child to have their own space, and declutter the room. Alison also provided suggestions that were easy to implement and that could fit any budget. She made it so easy and stress-free. I can't recommend Alison's services enough. We'll definitely book again if the need arises.”

“Alison is such a wealth of information and resources. This is the second consult I have done with her. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She has such a great eye.”
