Our most comprehensive engagement. We take complete creative and strategic responsibility for a residential project — from the first brief through to the final walk-through. Nothing is delegated. Nothing is handed off.
Full interior direction is appropriate for significant residential projects where the client wants a single point of accountability and a design process that is rooted in strategy, not intuition. We work with one or two projects of this scale per year.

A focused diagnostic engagement for clients who have a property they are not fully inhabiting — or a renovation they are about to begin and want to approach with clarity before committing to decisions.
We spend time in the space, observe how it is currently being used, and deliver a written spatial strategy — precise, actionable, and sequenced so that the client can implement it themselves on their own timeline.
This is not a decorating consultation. It is a strategic document. Clients who follow it consistently report that the space changes fundamentally — without contractors, without significant new purchases, without starting over.

For clients who have an existing design direction — their own or another designer's — and need a senior eye on the execution. We step in as a critical friend and quality controller during the build and installation phases.
Project oversight is not design by committee. We do not revisit decisions that have already been made. We ensure that what was specified is what gets built — and that the integrity of the design is maintained when the inevitable deviations arise.

Maison Solène is available for a limited number of press and editorial collaborations each year. We work with publications and brands whose values align with our own — rigour, restraint, and an unwillingness to produce content that is merely decorative.
We do not accept advertorial placements or paid features. Editorial coverage is considered on the basis of the project and the publication. Brand partnerships are evaluated case by case.
