An investment guide for home redesign projects

Every home has potential, sometimes it just needs a little nudge (or a complete rethink) to truly shine. At The Yellow Slide, we believe great design is for everyone, no matter the scope and budget of the project. But we are the first to tell you that design projects take time, money and energy, more than you would expect. Add to that the complications of working with different vendors, logistics of ordering/delivery/installation, supply chain issues, and day-to-day juggling of executing the design plan.

That’s why we created three unique design paths: Refresh, Elevate, and Transform, to help homeowners understand the (realistic) investment needed and how we can help you make it happen!

1. Refresh: A New Look Without Starting Over

Maybe your home already has good bones but feels a little tired. Our Refresh track is designed for exactly that. We build upon what you already have, reimagining layouts, refining furniture selections, and layering in art, lighting, and accessories that pull everything together. It’s the designer’s version of a deep exhale, bringing fresh energy and personality into your space without starting from scratch.

Average Investment for meaningful change: $5,000 + per room

Timeline: 1–3 months

It’s ideal for homeowners who crave an updated space, are up for some DIY projects but not a full blown renovation. Think of it as your home’s style reset button.

2. Elevate: The Art of Thoughtful Luxury

When you’re ready to take your space from nice to next level, the Elevate track is where the magic happens. Here, design meets intention, custom furnishings, luxurious textures, smarter layouts, and timeless finishes all come together to create a space that feels both functional and indulgent.

Average Investment for meaningful change: $30,000 onwards

This is for homeowners who want to invest in a space that truly reflects their personality and elevates their everyday experience. Every decision is tailored to you, from the light that greets you in the morning to the warmth of the materials underfoot.

3. Transform: Reimagine Your Home, Redefine How You Live

Some homes need more than a refresh, they need a complete transformation. Our Transform track is a full-scale renovation process that blends form, function, and flow to create a space that feels brand new but deeply personal. From layout planning to finish selection and coordination with trusted contractors, we handle every detail with precision and care.
