Do you offer virtual or remote design services? 

Yes, we do. Shannon Connor Interiors offers virtual and remote design services for clients who are not located nearby or who prefer a more flexible approach.
Our remote process is highly collaborative and thoughtfully structured, allowing us to deliver the same level of care, creativity, and attention to detail as our in-person projects. Through video meetings, digital presentations, detailed drawings, and curated selections, we guide clients through each phase of the design process with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re local or working with us from afar, our goal remains the same: to create beautiful, functional spaces that feel personal, cohesive, and well considered.

How far in advance should I contact you before starting a project?

Ideally we are your first call. Our number one job is to identify what you want(your vision), translate that into a project framework and then work tirelessly to design and execute that vision. The best chance for success is for us to be involved from the very beginning.

Where are you located, and where do you work? 

Shannon Connor Interiors is based in Princeton, New Jersey and works with clients locally, nationally, and internationally.
While many of our projects are located throughout New Jersey and the surrounding region, we regularly take on projects beyond our immediate area through both in-person and remote design services.

What types of projects does Shannon Connor Interiors specialize in? 

Shannon Connor Interiors specializes in full-service residential interior design, including new construction, renovations, and furnishing projects.
While these make up the core of our work, we’re always open to exploring new ideas and project types that allow us to create thoughtful, well-designed spaces tailored to our clients’ needs.


Who handles hiring the contractor and subcontractors?  

When engaged for full-service design, Shannon Connor Interiors can assist in assembling and coordinating a trusted team of contractors and trades. We oversee collaboration throughout the project, serving as a central point of contact to ensure the design intent is executed with precision and care. 

What happens during the initial consultation? 

During the initial consultation, we take time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and the scope of your project. We’ll discuss how you use the space, your aesthetic preferences, timeline, and overall investment range, while also answering any questions you may have about our process.

Can you work with my architect, builder, or contractor? 

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with our clients’ architects, builders, and contractors and value a team-based approach to design.
Shannon Connor Interiors works alongside all project partners to ensure the design vision is clearly communicated and thoughtfully executed. We provide detailed drawings, specifications, and finish selections, and we remain actively involved throughout the process to help answer questions, review details, and support decision-making as the project progresses.
Our goal is to create a smooth, coordinated experience—one where design, construction, and craftsmanship work together seamlessly to achieve a cohesive and well-executed result.

How long does a typical design project take? 

The timeline for a design project varies depending on its scope and complexity. Smaller renovations or decorating projects may take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months, while full-scale renovations or new construction can take several months to years. From the start of the design process to final installation, we carefully manage each phase to ensure a thoughtful, well-executed result. 

do you handle ordering, delivery, and installation? 

We handle all ordering, delivery, and installation, overseeing each step to ensure everything is placed and finished exactly as envisioned, creating a seamless, stress-free experience.

Can you work with existing furniture or art? 

Absolutely. Shannon Connor Interiors can incorporate your existing furniture, artwork, and treasured pieces into a new design.
We carefully evaluate what works with the space and overall vision, blending your current items with new selections to create a cohesive, personalized interior that feels both curated and uniquely yours.

Do you work on commercial or hospitality projects? 

While Shannon Connor Interiors has primarily focused on residential projects to date, we are excited to expand into commercial and hospitality design. We bring the same thoughtful, detail-oriented approach and commitment to quality that define our residential work, and we welcome inquiries for unique commercial or hospitality projects that align with our design philosophy.

Shannon Connor was a dream to work with. She took the time to get to know me and my style, understand what I was hoping to accomplish, and help me get there! She worked with me to open me up to new ideas, many of which turned out to be exactly what I wanted, I just didn’t have the creativity or experience to get there myself! She showed me things I’d never have found myself and opened my eyes to how everything would work together. She helped me establish a realistic budget and then stayed within it. Now I come home every day and smile with delight at how my home looks.

We are so glad we called in shannon and her team to help us design our new home.  at first we thought we could go it alone.
we quickly became overwhelmed and realized we needed a professional to achieve what we wanted.  shannon and her team made the process easy, really listened to what we wanted and created a home for us that we truly love.
