Ulivo Home & Design loves a challenge…
…no matter what your wish list holds. We love bringing clients’ visions and ideas to life. No matter how big or small the space, everyone deserves a place that reflects their needs, wants, and a little something beyond their expectations. And as we design each space, we take the utmost care in adding in personal touches through bespoke designing and styling. Our goal at Ulivo Home & Design is to create beautiful, comfortable & timeless lived-in spaces in a client's home that reflect them and their practical needs.
The Ulivo difference
We integrate personal touches into our designs that tell the story of who you are, what you love, & how you live.
We decorate each space with the utmost attention to your needs, wishes and lifestyle. Adding special details, like a piece of art, a family heirloom, or a personal photo into the design plan is our forte. It’s what makes a house your home.
Kind Words
“Worth every penny”
“Lelia Tran of Ulivo Home & Design is an incredible staging partner for my real estate business. She makes difficult situations easy and is the calm in the storm of a project. I love her incredible style {clean and modern with a gorgeous hint of sophistication}. She delivered very clear design boards for my clients to see how we were going to transform and bring out the best in their home. She was always creating and inspiring my team with ideas to showcase this million dollar home. The final result was stunning. Ultimately, it was worth every penny as my clients home sold for 6% over the asking price and I'd bet it had a LOT to do with the right staging.”

“Reveal day was a moment that I will never forget”
“We often host guests and we've always wanted to create a welcoming space for our guests to feel like home. She [Lelia] did an amazing job with our room and it was everything we envisioned it would turn out. She was very good at sticking to our budget. I am still to this day stunned at how the room turned out given our budget. She has a way of transforming a room at any budget you throw at her. She is so creative and has this amazing ingenuity that I know I can never do for any room in my house!”

What to expect when inquiring about services with Ulivo Home and Design
1. Discovery Call
Usually, upon receiving an inquiry, the first step is we ask you to fill out a questionnaire prior to any call and/or consultation so that we have some understanding of your design wish list and scope of project. And then after the questionnaire is filled, we like to schedule a discovery call with you. It's a chance for us to learn a bit more of what your priorities are in terms of your design project(s), follow up with additional questions based on your responses to the questionnaire, and help explain what our services & process entails.
2. Consultation
Following the discovery call, we will schedule an initial consultation meeting in your home. The consultation allows us to see the layout of your home and understand the challenges you have with your spaces. Also, it’s a chance for us to get a better understanding of the scope of work, discuss initial ideas and learn how much you plan to invest in the project. You can also book consultations with us to discuss paint colors, room layouts or any other design challenges you need advice on for a DIY project.
3. Proposal
A proposal outlining the scope of work, preliminary ideas for the project, estimated design hours and design fees, and projected timeline will be sent to potential client.
What to expect when working with Ulivo Home and Design
We will turn your project background, inspiration pins, and baseline information into curated mood boards and design plans. This is where our color palette, space planning, furniture layout and design elements turn into a well grounded vision.
During this time, we also source materials and furnishings and gather quotes from vendors and tradespeople for any renovation or contracting work that will be involved.
Once we complete the design concepts for your project, we’ll meet with you to present our plans and ideas for discussion/approval.
4. Procurement & Project Management
Upon approval of the design plan, we begin ordering and making the necessary purchases to bring the vision together.
We manage and keep track of the project budget and shipping/delivery orders; we do site visits and check-ins with the tradespeople working in your home. We handle the schedule of the project and troubleshoot any issues or delays that may arise.
5. Install & reveal
This is the most exciting phase - when we bring your design to life! Upon completion of any contracting work and delivery of all ordered items, we'll set up a time with you to perform the installation. Depending on the size and number of rooms, this process may take several days.
We’ll arrive with everything in hand to install the furnishings and accessories. We’ll style your home with all the finishing touches. Then we’ll do a big reveal with you! We’ll also plan a photo shoot of the finished space(s).
A note on TRADEWORK
Any tradeperson needed for the project, such as painters, installers, electricians, etc. should be hired directly by the client. Ulivo Home & Design can provide recommendations and assist with requests for quotes if desired.
