What clients say

“We had lived with a half-finished house for three years. Ember & Oak had a plan in two weeks and the whole first floor installed in a day. It finally feels like our home.”

Questions people actually ask

How do you charge?

A flat design fee based on the rooms in scope, plus trade pricing on anything we source for you. You see the full number before we start.

Do you work with my contractor?

Yes. We produce drawings and finish schedules your builder can price and build from, and we stay on the job through install.

How long does a full home take?

Most full-home projects run 14 to 20 weeks from concept approval, depending on lead times on upholstery and stone.

Do you take smaller projects?

We take single-room furnishing projects when the calendar allows. Kitchens and full floors get priority scheduling.
