Answering the most asked questions about our small business. 01. what does approachable interiors mean? A style that's attainable. A nice mix of affordable & investment pieces, vintage & new, artisan & mainstream. They're relaxed, lived-in, curated, layered, and collected. Your design story is told with a focus on both function & beauty tailored to your family and lifestyle. 02. do you have a signature style? The truth is, it shifts...with the seasons, with age. I'd say it's less a specific style, although our projects do share signature elements. It's more about how we approach design...and the answer is much like I do my own home. To design an evolving space...one that allows for change as your family grows, your everyday changes, your tastes shift, or you like to decorate seasonally! Ultimately we are designing spaces with intention. 03. what is virtual design? Our design services are offered virtually, rather than in person. The process is similar in terms of curating applicable vendors, services and products but rather than install and style in person, you handle the execution. A virtual design project may be appropriate for clients who don't live in New England or for those who have a specific budget range, and works for one or multiple rooms. 04. do you use affiliate links? In many instances , we do. One of the really cool parts of this "job" is being asked what products & services we use/own/buy/recommend. And it's incredibly flattering to even be asked...but often are asked the same questions. It takes time to curate lists and time to answer so linking directly is a more efficient way to share information! From a project standpoint, we may use affiliate links when sourcing products from certain retailers. Making a modest commission on certain sales is part of our small business structure. Overall, affiliate links are a win-win for us all, and the only cost is to the retailer. 05. how do you approach design fees & purchases? In a nutshell, we conceptualize the overall vision (with your input of course), decide on the best products, share itemized lists with links, and then we typically make the purchases with your credit card. We encourage you to think about the overall design budget in two pools of money...one for our services & labor, and the second for purchases & third party trade services. It's important for us to be transparent about budget and also honest about the process may unfold. Estimating hours can be tricky given we're a small operation and it ranges depending on multiple factors that can affect your ultimate investment (timing of decisions, changes to the plan, supply chain issues etc.). 06. what is a design plan? A design plan is a blueprint of sorts...a visual & informational document that is crafted with our intended aesthetic. The board includes mockups, descriptions, a curated list of products and how they might look together, where they'll be purchased, and more. let's collaborate !

mStarr design studio was founded by Emily Starr Alfano and is an interdisciplinary studio in the Boston area that provides bespoke interior decorating & content creation services, and handmade interior accessories. At mStarr, we believe in capturing charm and layering in personality. In perfectly imperfect elements . In designing slower. And above all, infusing character into your space with small but impactful details. We adore working with those who share a love and appreciation for imperfection & character because we believe these are the qualities that give life to our homes and create timeless, nostalgia-evoking designs. Designs that are inspired by the past but crafted for present day. In true creative fashion, our style is always evolving but one thing we always stay true to is an intentional, slower design. It is approachable and inviting. We design spaces that are meant to be lived in and used, where every detail is thoughtfully considered to suit your personal taste and the way you choose or need to live in your home. We love helping you explore and discover your favorite colors or find one-of-a-kind pieces that will remind you of a time, place or person you love. Always collected and layered, we mix old and new with quality pieces from a wide variety of makers - whether that be an incredible vintage shop, mainstream retail store, or an investment custom piece that transforms the space. As Seen In Select past + current content creation, social media and styling collaborations include Emily is the Starr behind mStarr. Her career has taken her on a journey through various industries including sports marketing, radio, and jewelry design (the original mStarr!) but the current mStarr was born following her 2011 wedding. With hard work, a little luck, and an opening in the New England market for a design-focused business, mStarr grew quickly, crafting dozens of weddings and events across the country. With growth came styling jobs and eventually an expansion and focus on interiors, something she had always been passionate about. She spent 7 years in her 1830's house (affectionately nicknamed #farmhousedialfano) making updates and growing an Instagram following. In 2021, she moved to a "newer" home built in 1898 where she's fully embracing its charm and taking sensible design risks. Always needing to keep her hands busy, Emily recently expanded mStarr into handmade interior accessories and looks forward to growing this arm of the business. Emily comes armed with experience from years spent in project management and marketing, bringing right-brain creative thinking, left-brain execution, and resourcefulness to the table. She lives in the Boston area with her husband Bill, daughter Max, and 14-year-old forever pup Bruno. Emily Starr Alfano / Founder & Creative Director
