Yes — close coordination is at the heart of our process. We work hand-in-hand with project partners from the outset to align timelines, manage responsibilities, and ensure a seamless execution.

We like to connect as early as possible, before design work officially begins. Establishing clear responsibilities, scope, and timelines up front helps set the stage for a smooth collaboration. Early involvement allows us to align with your team, provide input during foundational planning, and build a roadmap tailored to the project's specific needs.

Yes, while our work is rooted in New England, we welcome opportunities to collaborate with project partners across the country. Our design process is structured to support long-distance teamwork, with clear communication, seamless coordination, and the flexibility to integrate into established workflows. Whether you're developing a residential retreat or a boutique hospitality property, we bring the same thoughtful design approach, collaborative spirit, and attention to detail — no matter where the project is located.

We have honed our processes over nearly two decades, with the goal of making the entire experience easy and enjoyable for you. Our activities are executed over five phases: 1) DISCOVERY of your needs and preferences 2) DESIGN concept development, including specifications for custom furniture and interior architecture 3) Your APPROVAL of the concepts after you are completely satisfied 4) IMPLEMENTATION, including all ordering, shipping, and scheduling 5) INSTALLATION, when we deliver big impact in a small amount of time.

Absolutely. We regularly guide interior architecture, including kitchen and bath layouts, millwork, ceiling details, built-ins, and lighting plans, always collaborating with the broader project team.

We prioritize clear, consistent communication throughout every phase of the project. From regular check-ins, detailed progress updates and documentation, to shared timelines and decision trackers, we keep all partners aligned and informed. Whether we’re collaborating in person or remotely, our goal is to ensure that everyone has what they need to move forward confidently — with no surprises.

Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of your project. The design industry continues to feel some residual effects of post-pandemic supply chain delays, though lead times have improved in many areas. Furnishings-only projects are currently averaging around 12 months. Projects involving construction — whether new builds or major renovations — typically span 1 to 2 years. We’ll provide a tailored timeline based on your specific goals and keep you informed at every stage.

When determining your total interior design investment (excluding construction costs), we consider factors such as project size, scope, complexity, and choice of materials. Our firm accepts a select number of projects per year, and most of those projects are whole houses. As such, our clients typically invest $300k and up. You can trust that every minute we spend on your project is managed with intentionality, precision, and creativity.

We describe our approach as “soft modern” and consistently win awards for both modern and contemporary design. Our focus is on clean lines, sculptural shapes, layers of texture and color, punctuated by eye-catching statement pieces. That said, each client comes to us with a unique wish list of likes and needs. Each property tells a site-specific story. Each project welcomes innovative approaches. We ensure you receive a completely original home design customized to your preferred style and taste.

Each project will be assigned a dedicated design team. As our founder and design lead, Rachel Reider oversees the design concept and furnishings selections for every Reider + Co project. So you will interact with her a lot during the Discovery and Design phases of your project. Other team members, including a senior interior designer, a project manager, and our operations director, utilize their specialized skills to command the implementation phase of your project.

Yes. The pandemic motivated many people to get more utility and entertainment out of their homes. So in addition to fully functioning work-from-home offices and homework rooms, we now find ourselves regularly designing “experience” spaces, such as indoor putting greens, cigar rooms, playrooms, wrapping rooms, wine rooms, home gyms, game rooms, media rooms, craft rooms, indoor spas, secret rooms, elevators, pool houses, and meditation/yoga rooms.

Yes. We believe the most successful “interior design” is actually a seamless integration among indoor, in-between, and outdoor spaces. This is particularly true with destination homes and vacation homes, which are sited to take advantage of a property’s attributes. We work with you to maximize outdoor living, and our clients say they find themselves using outdoor spaces all year long, even in the Northeast!

We have no square footage requirements and enjoy working on projects of all scales — from thoughtfully designed downtown condos to expansive, whole-home residences. Our process is flexible and collaborative, whether we're contributing to a focused design scope or managing an entire project. That said, our experience in boutique hospitality design makes us particularly well-suited to lead comprehensive residential projects ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 square feet. What matters most is the alignment — shared goals, clear vision, and mutual respect.

We enjoy surprising ourselves and you by using many one-of-a-kind items, materials, and techniques in every house we design. We design and specify both custom furniture and interior architecture, sourcing from exclusive to-the-trade showrooms and specialty suppliers. We also travel regularly to design shows and on scouting trips to find that unique adornment that perfectly suits your family.
