If you’ve searched for this specifically, you’ve probably had at least one experience where a designer made assumptions about your home, your relationship, or how you live, and got it wrong.
Working with an LGBTQ+-friendly designer should mean exactly what it sounds like: no assumptions about who lives in the space or how it needs to function. That might mean designing for a single person who loves to host, a couple without kids who want a space built for two, or a household that just doesn’t match the default template most inspiration boards are built around.
Practically, it means the intake conversation focuses on how you actually live rather than a generic checklist. It means not having to explain or justify your household before getting to the actual design work. And it means the finished space reflects your life specifically, not a version of “tasteful” borrowed from somewhere else.
As an LGBTQ+ founder, this isn’t a marketing position for me, it’s the studio’s default. The process, pricing, and attention to detail are the same for every client. What changes is that you don’t have to do any translating to get there.
