What is E-Decor from RJA Design?
E-Decor is a per room flat fee decor service with our team via email and Zoom calls. The client will purchase materials & products through RJA Design and implement the installation on their own from the direction of our decor presentation.
What is Included?
The flat fee includes:
Our team will deliver the initial decor board in roughly 3 weeks from initial consultation, and the final revised board roughly 1 week thereafter.
How do we price E-decor?
Our flat-rate per room E-decor fee ranges from $1,800-$3,600 per room. We will need to see images of the existing room, answer relevant questions for the scope of the project, and have a general layout and dimensions for sizing and furniture layout. From there we determine your individualized flat rate fee and general timeline of when we can start. Flat rate fees are charged 50% up front and the balance due upon completion of the final design board.
We also request a $5,000 retainer per room and a signed contract to get started. The retainer will be applied to any initial material and product purchases. 50% of material and product purchases are due upon order.
All of our pricing is competitive and valid for 30 days upon delivery of the estimate. Purchases can be made at any time, however due to the rapid fluctuation of pricing and vendor increases, estimates may be affected. All shipping/freight, deliveries, and tax are separate.
Decor Board Includes:
This is a very fun and efficient process to quickly update a room! We look forward to helping you!
The RJA bio mentions "attention to detail" - so true! In my opinion this is the foundation of all else. RJA demonstrated that SUPERLATIVE taste combined with concentration on every aspect of their work created exactly what I had hoped but could never have achieved alone.

I have had the pleasure of working with Richard Abrahamson of RJA Design on both of our homes. The first project began several years ago when we completed a 2- story addition and faced the challenge of blending the spaces. Richard exceeded our expectations and created a home that combines our tastes along with his dynamic style and flair. He has a passion for design, a keen eye for color and a phenomenal way of incorporating all the senses which makes every room my favorite place to live.
In our modern California home, Richard did an amazing job of meeting our budget and timeline, but more importantly, went beyond the limit to incorporate his own furniture designs that fit like a glove in our new space. We are so proud and excited to share our homes with family and friends. Richard has created beautiful, timeless and truly livable environments for us......it's a bonus that he is also great fun to work with!

Richard has decorated two of our homes, the last one being a year ago, in Lake Forest, IL. He is an amazingly talented and creative individual who always aspires for perfection. One of Richard strengths is that he strives to tailor the design of the home to fit the homeowners tastes and needs.
We truly appreciated his ability to coordinate and implement all aspects of the project in a timely manner and with great precision to detail. We repainted the entire home before we moved in (he has a keen sense of color), ordered new furniture, installed new window treatments and even redecorated the outdoor spaces. It was always exciting to see what unique and interesting things Richard would find for us.
It has really been a pleasure to work with him and his supportive staff.
We can't thank him enough for helping to make our home everything we hoped it would be and more!

Working with Richard Abrahamson on my Houston home was a true labor of love. Richard's approach to this project fit in well with my needs. He was able to take a large space and turn it into a beautiful, comfortable and welcoming home. Since this was an out of town project for him, we were able to accomplish our goals in three visits. First, he came to see the space and made some suggestions based on my style and budget. His second visit was to present his plan and together we made selections. The third visit was when everything fell into place and we had the big "reveal"! I'll never forget the feeling when all the furniture, draperies, artwork and accessories were arranged...I thought I had won the lottery! Richard, although quite serious about design, is also fun loving and we laughed alot. I look forward to working with him on my next project.

Richard was able to take inspiration from the stunning ocean views from my high rise condominium in San Diego to create an invitng and deeply personal home for me that I completely enjoy. The challenge of working long distance was easily met by working closely with Richard at my home on three key occasions to determine the scope of the project, select the key design elements together, and, most exciting of all, to bring the entire plan to complex on by transforming my home over a period of five days while I was on a business trip. It was an awesome moment to return home, and the dramatic results continue to amaze me. Balancing great design with livability, Richard selected exquisite furnishings and art, rich fabrics and textures, and sophisticated accessories for every room. Richard’s good communication, calm detailed approach, and sense of humor made for an enjoyable working relationship every step of the way. I look forward to working with RJA Design on future projects.
