Each project is custom quoted based on the scope of work with allowances for furnishings, finishes, and equipment and flat rate and hourly design fees. 

To secure your project in our calendar, an executed Design Service Agreement and non-refundable retainer are required.

Kindwell Design Co. is based in the northeastern Twin Cities near White Bear Lake, and works throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin. We are able to design throughout the United States on various scaled projects. We love to work in storied city homes, on expansive acreage, and secondary lake homes.

For projects outside of the Twin Cities of Minnesota, additional travel expenses for site visits should be expected.

Aesthetically, we define our design style as Refined Coziness. This creates that lived-in feel with soulful applications of finishes and materials. We design homes that are deeply personal and wellness-focused, tailored to the family who lives there.

Each space is designed to create comfort through character and reflect values in function. Using high-quality, sustainable materials is our standard. Whether you lean modern traditional, soulful contemporary, heartfelt mid-century, or nostalgic, your home is a reflection of you.

Large or whole-home renovations take 9-12+ months for design and build. Custom home builds take 1-3 years from architectural concepts to final installation. Smaller remodels or single rooms, such as kitchens or bathrooms, and furnishing projects take 6-9 from design through to completion.

We encourage prospective clients to begin the inquiry process at minimum 3 months prior to the hopeful project start date.

Kindwell does not manage the build directly, but we do work alongside the Builder, Architect, Subcontractors, and Vendors to ensure the design is executed efficiently. We communicate regularly at on-site meetings, via phone/email, and project management systems.
