Our Process

Exclusive Interior Design Journey

Design is more than just the environment you live in. It is more than just selecting colors and fabrics. It's a complex process that requires thoughtful consideration and expert guidance to achieve a cohesive and harmonious living space. That's where I come in. I help you paint a picture of the life you dream of living, with spaces that reflect the way you see the world. As your interior designer, I will guide you through every step of the journey.

 
 

What To Expect

 

Schedule a Complimentary Design Discovery Call:

During this initial consultation, we'll discuss your project scope, desired start date, project investment, vision, and explore if my firm is the right fit for you.

 

Design Consultation and Home Review:

In the next step, we'll schedule a personalized in-home design consultation where I'll gather information about your existing space and have a detailed discussion about your design goals. Afterward, I'll create a customized Home Review Report, which is a meticulously crafted document that serves as a roadmap for the entire design process. The report includes targeted expert recommendations for each room.

 

Client Agreement:

Once we've discussed your design goals, reviewed the Home Review Report, and agreed to move forward, we'll sign the Client Agreement and receive a retainer, which kicks off your project.

 

On-Site Measurements, Photos, and Trade Day:

We'll schedule a trade day to bring in any necessary contractors and take additional measurements and photos to ensure that we have all the information we need to proceed with the design.

 

Floor Plans, Fabrics, and Furnishings:

After gathering all the necessary information, we'll create floor plans and elevations and begin sourcing fabrics and furnishings. This stage typically takes a minimum of four weeks as we work to ensure that we find the perfect pieces that fit your vision and budget.

 

Design Presentation:

Once we've sourced all the necessary furnishings and materials, we'll present an estimate for your approval and collect a deposit before moving forward with any purchases.

 

Construction and Painting (if needed):

If your project requires any construction or painting, we'll begin this process at this stage.

 

Orders Begin Arriving:

Orders for your furnishings and materials will begin arriving as your construction wraps up. This is the exciting part as we anticipate the arrival of all the beautiful pieces we've selected for your space.

 

Installation and Grand Reveal:

The highlight of the journey is the highly anticipated design reveal where you come home after a brief departure to your transformed space.  Trust me, the end result will be worth the wait!
