Our Process
-
It all begins with a conversation, which we refer to as a Discovery Call, or Discovery Meeting. The Discovery Call is free of charge, and the main purpose is to get to know you, your design goals, budget, timeline, and answer any questions you may have for us. After the Discovery Call, we’ll create a detailed project proposal for you.
-
After the project scope and timeline are agreed upon, we begin with the development of the design direction. If your project is a renovation, we’ll start with a site measure. We will then develop two different design directions that are based off the preferences you provided. Upon presentation of these two directions, we will then narrow the design to a single concept to be further developed.
-
Next we work through the design process. There’s typically a couple more in person meetings to have all elements approved prior to finalizing any designs or selections. Through this stage, we create painstakingly detailed documents of all design details and elements to ensure everything is clear on how to bring the design to life, exactly as envisioned.
-
We finalize the design in the form of technical CAD drawings and a specification package. This is then provided to you and your trades or contractor. This package can be used for tender if you have not yet selected your contractor/trades.
-
Construction has begun, and we work together with your contractor to ensure everything comes together as intended. If a product is unexpectedly out of stock or discontinued, we step in to ensure a great replacement is selected.
-
While construction is underway, we begin on the curation of your furnishings, window treatments and decor. We will start by taking an inventory of what you already have and want to keep. Much like the construction design phase, we will present options for you to consider to determine which best suites your taste and goals. We complete a floor plan with all selections in place and a document detailing each item for each room. At final approval, we submit the purchase orders.
-
Installation of all furnishings and decor are when you see a big impact in a short period. Our team will ensure every shelf is professionally arranged, area rugs are properly aligned, furniture, lamps, accessories and art are all beautifully placed. We will also coordinate the installation of your window treatments.
-
We come to your home with a professional photographer to do the final portfolio shots of your beautiful home. We may do some final tweaks (with your approval) as we go through the space one final time to ensure everything looks as it should.
FAQ
-
Each project is unique and our service packages are customized to the project and the customer. After a Discovery Call, we can provide a detailed proposal outling the services and the cost.
-
It’s best to involve an interior designer as early as possible. We can help with the very early planning stages and we can make the most impact if brought in once you’ve made the decision to build or renovate.
-
Depending on the size of project, it can take anywhere from a few months to a few years to go from the initial planning stage to completion of construction.
-
Understanding the importance of budget discussions from the start is crucial. It's common for conversations about money to be uncomfortable, leading some to avoid them. However, we advocate for open and honest dialogue about your budget with us and your contractor, revisiting this topic throughout the process. Our goal is to eliminate stress, not add to it!
Moreover, hiring an interior designer can actually lead to cost savings. Efficient and well-considered designs minimize on-site time spent figuring things out or correcting unforeseen issues. For busy professionals, an interior designer not only saves you money but also valuable time that would otherwise be spent away from work.
