The designers say many of the early calls came from consultants and lawyers, who suddenly found themselves having to reveal their home decor to clients during Zoom meetings. The inquiries were frequent enough that Kushlan and Centella were inspired to launch a whole new service: a virtual design package wherein, for $350, they'll take a video tour of your home, give you a 30- to 60-minute consultation, and follow up with a checklist of ways you can improve your space.
