Give a client a room makeover and you provide them joy for a day. Teach a client how to style any room, and you give them joy for a lifetime.
We’ve seen it time and time again with practically every Design Firm out there. An interior designer is paid top dollar to makeover a space.
The final look is nothing short but incredible. But the rest of the house? It somehow looks worse compared to its newly made over counterpart.
So where does that leave the client? Back to hiring that interior designer paying top dollar.
And the cycle continues.
At Livlii we wanted to offer an alternative.
A design expert that works alongside you step by step as your home-style coach and mentor, so that you learn the how’s and why’s behind every decision leading up to your room makeover. Leaving you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to replicate the room makeover process for a lifetime.
We aren’t focused on turning you into the next professional interior designer. This process is about leading you on a journey to a stronger and more creative version of yourself, where together we develop a rinse-and-repeat home-styling process that is customized to your personality, your strengths, your budget, your pace, your resources and your needs, so you have all the tools and confidence to tackle any home styling project yourself.
Are you a perfect fit?
You want to have a real-life “before and after” like the ones on TV
You are comfortable (or willing to get there) on camera
You struggle to make decorative decisions, when you know what you like
You’re a homeowner or long-term tenant with landlord approval (yes we’ll need that in writing)
Techy enough OR willingness to use and learn technology
Motivated to learn about all things home styling
Tired of finding pics of rooms you love and feeling like that final look is attainable within your budget or skills
Budget conscious
You love the Flexible Home Decor program but want to take it up several notches!
Willing to put the hard but efficient effort to achieve your #roomgoals
You’re looking for support with targeted rooms including Entry ways, Hallways, Foyers, Mudrooms, Laundry rooms, Closets, Storage spaces, Bedrooms, Nurseries, Living rooms, Wreck/play rooms, Nurseries, Home offices, Dining rooms, Finished Basements and Garages, Sunrooms, Patios, Porches, and Decks

You’re Not a Good Fit if you…
Want to hire a professional to renovate your space without learning a single thing about how the magic happened.
Avoid learning new skills and stepping out of your comfort zone. You just want the finished product. Who cares how it got there?
Want to continue spending endless hours trying to makeover your space by just winging it.
Want to pay TOP DOLLAR for an interior designer who refuses to share HOW and WHY they made any design decisions in your space.
If you’re looking for support in redesigning a space that we don’t support including Kitchens, Bathrooms, or Unfinished Basements, or Garages

How this Process Works
PHASE 1: Apply to see if you’re a good match for this service.
PHASE 2: Qualified applicants will meet with a Livlii Design Advisor through a virtual appointment to discuss your project goals, timeline, budget, etc. to confirm we’re a perfect fit.
PHASE 3: Once you’re selected and all contracts are signed, together with your Livlii Design Advisor we create a customized curriculum and project schedule to help you learn the targeted skills and achieve the final outcome for your space. This could be over weeks, or months depending on your goals and project scope.
PHASE 4: Where the magic happens. We collaborate via virtual and in-person visits to turn your space into a real-life transformation. We document as much of the learning process and your space transformation on camera as possible.
PHASE 5: Together we reflect on your dramatic before and after space, and learning growth and lessons learned and future support the Livlii team can offer, all captured on camera.

How does this service differ from traditional room makeovers?
Together with a Livlii Design expert, you’ll work together from start to finish on your room makeover journey so that you learn the how’s and why’s behind every decision leading up to your room makeover. Leaving you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to replicate the room makeover process for a lifetime.
This learning journey is about leading you on a journey to a stronger and more creative version of yourself. This experience is focused around helping you develop your own rinse-and-repeat home-styling process that is customized to your personality, your strengths, your budget, your pace, your resources, and your needs, so you have all the tools and confidence to tackle any future home styling project yourself.
How can this opportunity save me time and money vs. trying to do this myself?
We know how much time and effort it takes to play the long game of trial and error with home styling. With us, you’ve got an expert guiding you along the way, expediting your learning journey. And oh, did we mention you’ll get access to our trade account discounts? We don’t just share the wealth of knowledge, even your bank account will thank us!
I rent my space. What kind of information will you need to make sure my room makeover is landlord approved?
So that we don’t risk you losing your security deposit or getting on the naughty list with your landlord, we’ll need a copy of your lease agreement along with a signature of your landlord approving any modifications beyond your lease terms.
I love this package but I hate being on camera TV. Is this a total deal breaker?
We can totally relate. Being on camera is not for everyone. Thankfully we have an incredible team that can work magic with editing, styling on-site, and showing only our best angles. Having us film your experience is more focused around you and the Livlii team capturing your learning journey so we can help others like you grow to their fullest potential too. If you’re on board with that, we’ll help you get camera ready!
I don’t live in your service area but I really want to work with you. What do you recommend I do?
First we recommend you consider some of our other services that offer 100% virtual support.
If you’re SERIOUS about committing to this specific process, we are open to discussing with you what this service could look like with the majority of the support delivered virtually, with plans for the final project implementation to be on site. Keep in mind that additional fees for travel and lodging might be required.
Please note your specific location in the application.
There’s a specific look I’m trying to achieve in my space. How do I know the Livlii Design Firm’s style matches mine?
Great question. Unlike many of our competitors the Livlii design firm does NOT align itself to a specific style. We’ve supported clients with a range of styles from California Boho to Mid Century modern to Contemporary. Rather than the Livlii Design Firm being “married” to a style we pride ourselves in supporting our clients achieve a space that’s functional for them and their families needs, aesthetically pleasing by emphasizing the strengths of the space, and a space that represents class and high-quality, regardless of their budget. To make sure our room makeover motivations are aligned, we’ll talk through your vision in our virtual call.
Where will the final “episodes” be aired?
All of our final episodes will be featured on the Livlii website. Should we get a contract with any networks, you’ll be the first to know!
