Let's create a space together that you'll love

Residential interior design in Chittenden County and beyond.  Project scopes ranging from $1K to $100K.  Design style tends toward new traditional, transitional, and even a bit eclectic. Specializing in reinventing vintage pieces with bold color and pattern.

Whether you’re looking to refresh, restyle, or completely reinvent any space in your home, The Gilded Elephant will work with you to create something you’ll love.

Interior Decorator Jen Novak believes in the importance of partnering with her clients to provide an experience that is both gratifying and exciting, and ultimately leads to a finished design that will exceed your expectations. With an M.A. degree, Jen has years of experience engaging with clients and understands the value of a collaborative effort between designer and client. The process should include input from the client through every step of the journey no matter the size or scope of the project.

Thoughtful design is more than just incorporating beautiful textiles and furniture into a home, it’s a process that considers the feeling a client wishes to experience when in a space.  Function and livability are as important as beauty. Jen guides her clients in creating a vision together, one that will lead to a space that is truly unique to each client.

Gilded Elephant Home Design and Décor is an interior decorating service, with options ranging from one time consultation to full project design. Jen has a passion for infusing color and pattern into her work while blending reinvented vintage pieces within décor. Jen believes in mixing old with new, that there should be no “rules” in design, and that if you love something – it can work!

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What types of interior design projects do you specialize in (full-home, single room, remodel support)?**
We specialize in a wide range of residential interior design projects, from full-home transformations and single-room makeovers to more specific needs through our A La Carte Design Services. Whether you're looking to refresh a space with new accents or undertake a comprehensive design plan for one or more rooms, we're here to help you create a space you'll love.

**Do you specialize in specific design styles?**
My design style tends towards new traditional, transitional, and a touch of eclectic. I have a passion for infusing color and pattern into my work, often blending reinvented vintage pieces with new decor. I believe in mixing old with new and that if you love something, it can work beautifully in your space.

**Do you work with contractors and architects during renovations?**
Yes, we absolutely work with other professionals during renovations. As part of our full interior design process, specifically during the contract stage, we coordinate with licensed professionals and visit job sites to ensure all work aligns with the design plan and drawings.

**How are your design fees structured?**
Our design fees are structured to offer flexibility. For full interior design services, an initial consultation is $250, and billable design services are $100 per hour, with a $250 retainer applied as credit. We also offer A La Carte services with flat rates, such as color scheme consultations for $250 per room or styling for $250.

**Do you manage the project through installation and styling?**
Yes, for full interior design projects, we manage the entire process through to installation. This includes delivery and placement of ordered items, which can happen in stages or as a single installation day. We also offer dedicated styling services as part of our A La Carte packages to perfect your space.
