Our Furnishings & Interior Styling Process
A thoughtfully furnished home should feel layered, functional, and effortlessly cohesive — not pieced together over time.
At Basil & Tate, our furnishings-only service is designed to simplify the process of completing your home. From space planning and sourcing to installation day and final styling, we manage every detail so your spaces feel calm, elevated, and fully considered.
Whether you’ve recently moved, completed a renovation, or simply feel like your home no longer reflects how you live, our process is designed to create clarity while removing the overwhelm that often comes with furnishing multiple spaces.
Step 1: Discovery & Vision
Every project begins with understanding how you live and how you want your home to feel.
During this phase, we…
Learn about your lifestyle, routines, and goals
Discuss functionality, comfort, and aesthetic direction
Walk through your spaces and take measurements
Identify what’s working — and what’s not
Our goal is to create a clear design direction that feels aligned with both your home and your everyday life.
Because furnishing a home well is not simply about selecting beautiful pieces — it’s about creating spaces that feel cohesive, intentional, and easy to live in.
Step 2: Design Development & Selections
Once the overall direction is established, we begin curating the layers that bring the home together.
This phase may include…
Furniture layouts and space planning
Furniture sourcing and specification
Rugs, lighting, and textile selections
Art, accessories, and styling direction
Material and finish coordination
We thoughtfully balance scale, texture, color, and functionality to ensure every room feels connected to the next.
Throughout the process, we help narrow decisions and provide clear recommendations — reducing the decision fatigue that often comes with furnishing a home on your own.
Step 3: Ordering & Coordination
After selections are approved, our team manages the logistics behind the scenes.
We coordinate…
Ordering and procurement
Shipment tracking
Vendor communication
Delivery scheduling
Receiving and installation coordination
Our clients appreciate being able to step away from the operational side of the process while knowing every detail is being carefully managed on their behalf.
Installation day is where everything comes together.
Our team oversees…
Furniture placement
Styling and accessorizing
Final layering and adjustments
Artwork and finishing details
The goal is not simply for the home to look beautiful — but for it to feel complete, welcoming, and naturally livable from the moment you walk in.
This is often the moment clients finally feel their home fully reflects them.
Step 4: Installation & Styling
Scope
A three-room minimum is required for furnishings and interior styling projects.
Timeline
Most furnishings projects take approximately 3–6 months, depending on project scope and product lead times.
