FAQs
What areas do you service?
Virtual sessions are available in any location with wifi! For in person, I am primarily based in Greater Boston area. I also work with clients in NYC and Philadelphia. If you live outside of these areas and are interested in my services, contact me. We’ll chat and discuss the scope of the project . A travel fee may apply.
Can you give me an overall price and/or time estimate
I charge an hourly rate for organizing, decluttering, move management and virtual sessions. It’s essential to see your space and have a mutual understanding of the scope of the project(s). Every space and client is unique and I quickly adapt and pivot if your needs change.
What is a virtual room plan?
Sometimes clients need help visualizing options for their space and creative inspiration. This entails a discovery call followed up by a room presentation that includes 2 furniture layout plans for the room, color board, aesthetics and furniture ideas that compliment the space. I charge a flat rate of $400/per room.
Can you help me with a closet overhaul and styling
Absolutely! Never tell a woman she can’t “purse-shoe” her dreams :) With my Nordstrom personal stylist roots I got you covered. All human and dog closets are welcome.
Do I need to be there when you declutter or organize?
It depends on you and how involved you want to be. We will always begin with a conversation about the parameters of the decision making and a walk through of your space(s). More information can be found on the process page.
What do I do with all my donations?
Most people don’t want to spend time researching where to donate their used possessions, so I can help with that. I’ve curated a list of national charities and some throughout the Boston & NYC area that accept clothing, kids toys, household items and more. You are welcome to drop-off donations yourself, or I can arrange for a donation pick-up (my regular hourly rates apply).
What else can you help with?
While I design organization solutions that are intuitive for clients to sustain, some clients like to have a refresh or someone to take charge once in a while when needs change. This can include everything from a simple tidying (great for kids rooms), staging for a holiday, seasonal closet maintenance, to preparing for a new baby or an at home soiree! Contact me if you have something in mind.
Do you have gift certificates?
Yes! Whether someone is in need of organizing or decorating a new space, gift certificates are perfect for housewarming, house moving or basic home help! Contact me at hello@viamaralifestyle.com.
