They might look like two versions of the same service.

They’re actually designed for two very different kinds of help.

The biggest misconception

Let’s get one thing out of the way first:
Layout Magic is NOT the cheaper version of Home Design Magic.

I didn’t create it by taking Home Design Magic and removing a few deliverables until I could charge less.

I created it because sometimes the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your style, the furniture or the decor. It’s simply not knowing what the hell to put where.

And once THAT problem is solved, you might be perfectly capable (and maybe even excited!) to do the rest yourself.

So… what is Layout Magic?

Layout Magic is for you if you need the PLAN, not necessarily the DESIGN.

Maybe you actually enjoy shopping and feel confident choosing pieces you love, but you’re terrified of spending $3,000 on a sofa only to realize it’s way too big once it arrives.

Or maybe you already own most of your furniture and simply cannot figure out how to arrange it so your room finally works.

I step in, solve the puzzle, and give you a precise roadmap for the room: what goes where, what you need, and the dimensions and shapes you should be looking for.

Then you take it from there!

What does that change for you?

Instead of opening 47 tabs and wondering…

“Can I fit a sectional here?”

“What size rug do I need?”

“Do I have room for an armchair?”

“Where the hell does the desk go?”

…you already know.

You can shop with a precise checklist instead of buying things, returning them, measuring again, moving furniture around for the 17th time and hoping something eventually clicks.

The decisions become much easier because the puzzle has already been solved.

Layout Magic is probably for you if…

You feel confident creating the aesthetic yourself once you know exactly what the room needs.

You love shopping for your home and WANT to be involved in choosing everything, but need professional guidance on dimensions, proportions, and placement.

You mostly want to reuse what you already own and need someone to figure out how to make it all work together.

Or honestly… you’ve been curious about hiring a designer forever, but you’re not quite ready to jump into a full-room design.

Layout Magic can be a really lovely first step.

And then there’s Home Design Magic 🪄

Home Design Magic is for you when the problem goes beyond “Where should the sofa go?”

You want the entire room figured out for you.

The layout, furniture, lighting, rugs, colors, storage, artwork, decor, wall treatments… all the decisions that turn an empty, unfinished or chaotic room into somewhere that feels completely like you.

You don’t need a roadmap so you can figure out the rest.

You want me to figure out the rest too!!

The REAL difference

I think the easiest way to explain it is this:

With Layout Magic, I tell you: here’s exactly what your room needs to work.

With Home Design Magic, I tell you: here’s exactly what your room needs to work AND here’s what I would put in it to create the home you’ve been dreaming about.

One gives you clarity to confidently take over.

The other takes the decision-making off your plate.

Neither is “better.”

It simply depends on where you’re stuck.

Think about how you want to feel AFTER working together

If your ideal reaction is: “OMG, now I know what to do. Let me go shopping!” ➡️ Layout Magic

If it’s: “OMG, thank god I don’t have to figure any of this out anymore” ➡️ Home Design Magic

And I genuinely love working with both kinds of people.

Investment & timing

And yes, there is obviously a difference in investment.

Layout Magic — $750/room
Your layout is completed within 5 business days + the waitlist to start is usually 1-2 weeks

Home Design Magic — from $2,800/room
A complete room design, typically created within 7–10 business days once your project starts + the waitlist to start is usually 3-4 weeks

So if you’ve been on the fence about hiring a designer because you’re not sure you’re ready for the investment or level of involvement of a complete room design, Layout Magic can also be a much more accessible way to get professional eyes on your home and finally get unstuck.

Still not sure which kind of magic you need? 🪄

Ask yourself one question:

Once I know exactly WHAT my room needs… do I feel excited or overwhelmed by the idea of finding it myself?

Excited? ➡️ Layout Magic

Please no? ➡️ Home Design Magic 😂

Either way, the goal is exactly the same: to get you out of the endless “what the hell do I do with this room?” phase and into actually enjoying your home.
