Make an appointment, and an onsite designer will give you a 30-minute planning consultation, present a library book of furniture options, and walk you through the small but mighty floor selection of staples (dressers from Oeuf and Argington) and accessories (mini Eames-like chairs and Stokke high chairs). For $500, the designer will do more, like dream up art installations or help with paint colors.
