FULL FURNISHING & STYLING

BATHROOM RENOVATION
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and making it beautiful yet functional is our specialty! Let our team takes the guesswork out of choosing the kitchen finishes, from custom cabinetry to countertop selections to lighting and everything in between.
KITCHEN RENOVATION
Whether gutting your entire home, adding an addition, finishing your basement, or doing another type of large-scale renovation, we want to be there for you every step. We love to help with all the details, like space planning, lighting selections, paint colors, cabinetry, flooring choices, and everything in between.
LARGE SCALE RENOVATION
We love to get involved early, working closely with the architect and builder on floor plans, window placement, elevations, and more. When selecting your lighting, cabinetry, paint colors, countertops, flooring, moldings, and other finishes, we pay close attention to each detail and your vision. We’ll help you build a home that is both practical for your family and beautiful.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
To your home, that is, and finally complete that major renovation project keeping you up at night. Even as experts, each home restoration we complete is a considerable undertaking, so we understand that overhauling your home alone can be overwhelming. Let us help you instead.
Just like our first home restoration project, we, too, like to go big or go home.
OUR SERVICES
We first learn about you and your project. We make sure we are the right fit for you as designers, and that you are the right fit for us as clients.
Introduction Phase
This is where you officially become a BSL Studios client! We get as much information from you as possible during this phase to make sure we know your wants, needs, and dreams for your home. Based on this, we put together a contract and scope of work.
Discovery Phase
This is the most complex phase where all decisions from construction, to design, to furnishing & decor are chosen.
Design Phase
This phase consists of ordering and reviewing products, communicating with our receiving warehouse to ensure that those products come in correctly, dealing with any damage claims, getting repairs on damaged products, and more.
Procurement Phase
From site visits to communication with contractors, we make sure that all things are going smoothly (and on budget) during the construction phase of your project.
Construction Phase
Wohoo! Your project is almost complete. The construction is done and now it is time for us to put the finishing touches on your home. There is so much excitement to officially unveil your new space, we like to do a big reveal HGTV style. From hanging your new artwork to the final pillow fluff, we make sure your project is perfectly ready to move in.
Installation Phase

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: At what point of the construction process should I be hiring a designer?
A: While we can come in at any point of the process, it is our preference to as early as possible! We like to be involved in every aspect of your home, from space planning with your architect to the final pillow fluff. The earlier we can get involved, the easier we can make the process for you.
Q: How do you work with our builder / general contractor / architect?
A: We work hand in hand with the other members of your construction team! From initial space planning with the architect or builder, to budget meetings, to site visits with your GC, we are there. Each of the members of the construction team comes with their own priorities. Our priority is to make sure the design, organization, and layout are just as beautiful as they are practical.
Q: Can I bring in my own contractor, builder, and architect?
A: Of course! You can use any contractor, builder, or architect you want. We will work hand-in-hand with any construction team you find best for your home. If you need guidance on putting together this team, we can give you advice based on trusted contractors and architects we have worked with.
Q: How much does a designer cost?
A: BSL Studios prides itself on being upfront with the costs of our services. So much of the construction industry is “secretive” and we are more “say it like it is” people! While every project is different, we find that our design fees end around 8-10% of the construction budget. For example, if the total construction cost for a kitchen renovation is $100,000, our design fees come in around $10,000. We can not only put together an insanely beautiful home for you, but we can save you hours of time (and stress) with our services.
Q: Do you sell your restoration projects?
A: Yes! If you are interested in purchasing one of our BSL restoration projects, please email us at admin@bslstudios.com. Our current restoration project is located in Whitefish Bay, WI. This home is expected to be completed and move-in ready in April 2023.
Q: How do I hire you?
A: We are so excited about the possibility of working with you! Please fill our design inquiry form above and we will be in touch within 24-48 hours!
