At Curated Collections, we believe in the magic of art, and our mission is to bring that magic into your world.

At Curated Collections, we offer customized art curation services that cater to the unique needs and preferences of each client. As such, our pricing varies depending on the scope and scale of the project. Whether you're looking to curate a single piece for your living room or an entire collection for your home or office, we work with you to determine the scope of the project and provide a detailed proposal that outlines the design process and associated costs.
Our design fee covers a comprehensive range of services, including research, design development and refinement, and final production. Once the scope of the project has been determined, we provide a detailed proposal that outlines the specific services included in the design fee. Our goal is to provide a transparent and comprehensive breakdown of costs, so you know exactly what to expect.
We prefer to charge a project fee, which includes all services outlined in the proposal, including meetings, materials, and up to three rounds of revisions. This approach ensures that our clients have a clear understanding of the costs associated with their project upfront. However, if the scope of the project changes or additional revisions are requested, any additional work will be tracked hourly and added to the project fee.
Each project is unique, and turnaround times can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We work closely with our clients to establish a deadline and develop a schedule that ensures the project is completed on time. If practical realities require any changes to the project's schedule, we are always happy to remain flexible and adjust accordingly. Rest assured that we will keep you updated and informed every step of the way.
