Question 1

What is ORLIVING?

Accepted Answer

ORLIVING is a Milan-based design consultancy studio for international families. We provide two services: turnkey interiors for people buying property in Northern Italy, and curated Made-in-Italy sourcing for people furnishing homes abroad. The studio is run by its founder, who is the single point of contact on every project.

Question 2

What areas in Italy do you cover for turnkey projects?

Accepted Answer

We deliver turnkey interior projects across Northern Italy — Milan, Lake Como, Lake Garda, Brescia, Verona and the Bergamo area. These regions are our 2026 focus. Other Italian regions, including Tuscany and the Lakes beyond Como, are planned for future expansion.

Question 3

What languages do you work in?

Accepted Answer

We work in five languages: Italian, Hebrew, English, Russian and Ukrainian. You can discuss your project in the language you are most comfortable in. For international families making decisions about a home, being understood precisely in your own language removes a real source of friction.

Question 4

How is ORLIVING different from an interior designer?

Accepted Answer

ORLIVING is a consultancy studio, not a single-discipline interior designer. We coordinate the whole project — design, sourcing, finishes, contractors and logistics — as one accountable service. Our focus is international families who need a finished home delivered, not a renovation to manage themselves from abroad.

Question 5

How do you charge for turnkey projects?

Accepted Answer

Turnkey fees are a transparent percentage of the total project budget, fixed in advance before any work begins. The percentage depends on the service tier. Suppliers and contractors are paid directly by you — ORLIVING never adds hidden markup to materials or furniture.

Question 6

Do I pay the suppliers, or do you?

Accepted Answer

You pay suppliers and contractors directly. ORLIVING coordinates, negotiates and verifies, but never holds your money for materials or takes title to goods. You receive every supplier quotation and invoice unedited. This keeps costs fully transparent and the studio legally structured as consulting.

Question 7

Can you work with me if I live in another country?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most of our clients do. We run first calls and design reviews by video, share 3D visualisations so you see rooms before they are built, and provide regular updates in your language. For property closings you cannot attend in person, we coordinate with trusted Italian lawyers.

Question 8

How do we start?

Accepted Answer

Send a message through the contact form, or write directly. Tell us whether you are buying a home in Italy or furnishing one abroad, and a little about the project. The founder reads every enquiry personally and replies within one working day.
