THE STUDIO
Working With Ashley
Luxe Style Studio is principal-led by design. The person whose work brought you here is the person shaping your home.
-
Luxe Style Studio brings a hospitality-informed point of view to private homes. That means looking beyond individual rooms to consider arrival, flow, comfort, lighting, proportion, and the way the entire home makes people feel.
The goal is not to make a residence resemble a hotel. It is to give it the ease, polish, and sense of welcome found in a great one, while keeping the result unmistakably personal.
-
Ashley Schneider leads the creative vision and interior design decisions on every Luxe Style Studio project. Your home is not handed to a rotating group of junior designers.
Adam Schneider oversees the operational side of the studio, including procurement coordination, installation planning, client communication, and the logistics that keep the work moving. Together, the studio remains personal while giving the project structure behind the scenes.
-
The strongest fit is a homeowner who wants a complete point of view and would rather have the studio guide the decisions than manage every selection independently.
That may mean a whole residence, a substantial multi-room furnishing project, a renovation, new construction, a second home, or a turnkey home that needs to be fully ready when you arrive. The common thread is a desire for continuity, care, and a finished result rather than a quick decorative refresh.
-
No. Whole-home residential design is the heart of our work, but we also take on select commercial, hospitality, wellness, and multifamily projects.
That may include restaurants, professional offices, amenity spaces, model residences, shared residential environments, and other spaces where the experience, atmosphere, and sense of arrival matter. Each project is considered individually based on scope, location, and fit.
THE ENGAGEMENT
Services, Scope + Geography
The right service depends on how much of the home needs attention and how completely you want the studio to carry the work.
-
The studio is at its best when enough of the home is included to create a continuous experience. Full-service residential engagements therefore begin at a three-room minimum.
A project does not need to include every room, but the scope should be large enough for the design to feel connected rather than piecemeal. For a single sofa, dining table, chandelier, or other focused need, Furnishings + Sourcing is available separately.
-
Yes. Luxe Style Studio works on renovations, remodeling, and new construction, collaborating with architects, builders, contractors, and trades as the project requires.
The earlier Ashley is involved, the better. Bringing the interior designer in before plans, lighting, millwork, finish selections, and major construction decisions are finalized creates more opportunity to resolve the home as one complete composition.
-
Full-service design begins with discovery and moves through concept development, space planning, materials, finishes, furnishings, decorative lighting, art, sourcing, procurement, project coordination, installation, and styling.
The exact scope changes with the home, but the purpose remains the same: to protect the design from becoming fragmented as it moves from idea to finished space.
-
Yes, for a clearly defined group of furnishings, lighting, art, or accessories. This is a focused sourcing and procurement service rather than a full-service design engagement.
It is not intended for a single sofa, light fixture, or other one-off piece, and it does not include the full creative development, space planning, drawings, site involvement, or ongoing design access that comes with a comprehensive project. We will help identify and procure the agreed-upon items within a specific scope.
-
The studio is based in Dunwoody and works throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Chastain, East Cobb, Milton, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and surrounding communities.
Luxe Style Studio also works at Lake Oconee and considers select projects beyond the immediate region. If your home is elsewhere, the right first step is still a conversation.
THE EXPERIENCE
Process + Participation
You should always know what is happening. You should not have to become the project manager to make it happen.
-
The process begins with discovery: how you live, what is not working, what you are drawn to, and how you want the finished home to feel.
Ashley then develops the concept, layouts, materials, furnishings, and visual direction. Once approved, the studio moves into sourcing, procurement, project coordination, installation, and styling. Each stage has a clear purpose, and each decision is made in relation to the whole.
-
You will be involved where your perspective matters most, particularly during discovery, design presentations, and meaningful approvals. You will not need to track every order, chase every trade, or independently assemble hundreds of individual decisions.
The studio’s role is to listen carefully at the beginning, present a complete direction, and carry the approved vision forward while keeping you informed at the moments that matter.
-
For a renovation or new build, bring Ashley in before architectural plans, lighting locations, millwork, plumbing fixtures, and major finishes are fully committed.
For a furnishings project, begin before purchasing the first major piece. Early involvement prevents one isolated decision from setting the wrong direction for everything that follows.
-
Timing depends on the size of the home, construction requirements, the level of furnishing, product lead times, and the number of outside professionals involved.
A substantial residential project often unfolds over many months rather than weeks. Once the scope is understood, the studio establishes a project-specific schedule and keeps you informed as design, procurement, construction, and installation move forward.
THE FIRST STEP
Investment + Getting Started
A clear conversation early is better than an uncomfortable surprise later.
-
Investment varies significantly with the size of the home, the amount of construction involved, the furnishing scope, and the level of service required.
Full-service interior design is a meaningful investment in both the home and the experience of completing it. The studio discusses scope and anticipated investment openly at the beginning so you can understand the likely level of engagement before either side makes a commitment.
-
Begin with the address, the rooms or areas involved, your approximate timeline, the level of construction anticipated, and a realistic investment range.
You do not need to arrive with every preference resolved. It is more useful to explain how the home currently falls short, how you want to live, and what you want the finished experience to feel like.
-
Complete the inquiry form with the basic details of your home and project. The studio will review the scope and respond within two business days.
From there, the first conversation is about fit: what you are creating, where you are in the process, what level of support you need, and whether Luxe Style Studio is the right studio to carry it forward.
