Why the studio exists

The hard part isn't picking a paint color. The hard part is knowing what you don't know.

Most homeowners take on a renovation having never done one before. They walk into the project with hundreds of questions and no obvious place to ask them. Where do you start. What gets decided first. What can wait. What can be undone later, and what can't.

Studio Elroy was built to close that gap. The Design Lab is where the methodology gets written down and made available without a retainer. The Lighting Calculator is one of those tools, free to use as many times as you need.
