I've personally worked with Style + Design ID, and they were really helpful. Feel free to check out their portfolios and reviews before making a decision. Hope this helps, and good luck with your project!

The problem with ID firms is they want to profit from contracting the work and purchasing materials for you. The markup can be 2x or more and the quality of what you get can be poor (they just care what looks good in photos). We used an ID and this was their modus operandi. For ours, they only had one person who was genuinely talented - anytime the others got involved it was a disaster, and things had to be re-worked - in some cases at our own expense. If I was doing it all over again, I would be extremely shrewd and get a minimum 3 quotes/design proposals from several ID firms and stipulate that you will use your own contractor. They will come up with a thousand reasons why they must do it for you (the design won’t be the same, the materials are special and only they know where to source them, etc.) stick to your guns. They must commit to work with your contractor to ensure the design is constructed as conceptualized in their renderings.
