Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
How do I get started?
The first step is to reach out through the contact form. Once your enquiry is received, we will review your project details and be in touch to schedule an initial conversation to discuss your goals, scope, and overall fit.
Do you offer an initial consultation?
Yes. An initial consultation allows us to review plans, discuss your vision, establish a general budget range and timeline, and determine whether we are a good fit to work together. This conversation helps ensure clarity and alignment before moving forward.
What happens after I submit an enquiry?
After receiving your enquiry, we will review the details of your project and respond personally to discuss next steps. If appropriate, an initial consultation will be scheduled to explore your project in more detail.
Working Together
Will I be working directly with the designer?
Yes. Clients work directly with Gina Marshall, Owner and Principal Designer of Interior Styles Inc., throughout the entire project. As a boutique, solo-led studio, there are no hand-offs or assistants, ensuring personalised attention and consistent communication from start to finish.
How involved will I be in the design process?
The level of involvement is tailored to each client. Some clients enjoy being closely involved in selections and decisions, while others prefer to entrust the details to the designer. The process is collaborative, flexible, and guided by clear communication.
How do you communicate during a project?
Communication is organised, thoughtful, and consistent. Clients can expect clear updates at key stages of the project, with direct access to the designer for questions, approvals, and ongoing coordination.

The Design Process
What does your design process look like?
Our process begins with an initial consultation, followed by design development where concepts, layouts, and selections are created and refined. For projects, we manage procurement, coordination, and final installation to ensure a cohesive and well-executed result.
Do you work with architects and contractors?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with architects, general contractors, and trusted trades across Georgia to support new construction and renovation projects from start to finish.
Timeline & Expectations
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. New construction and whole-home renovations naturally require more time than smaller design projects. Factors such as construction schedules, custom furnishings, and material lead times all influence timing.
What factors can affect a project timeline?
Project timelines may be impacted by construction progress, product availability, custom fabrication, and decision-making. These considerations are discussed early to set realistic expectations for projects throughout Georgia.
Investment & Fees
How is pricing structured?
Design fees are determined based on the type of project and overall scope of work. For more information, contact us (link contact us to contact page)
Style & Approach
What is your design style?
Our approach is tailored rather than trend-driven. The goal is always to create a cohesive, elevated interior that reflects your lifestyle and feels uniquely yours.
How do you create spaces that feel personal?
Each project begins with understanding how clients live and use their space. This approach allows us to design homes across North Georgia that feel intentional, functional, and personal.
