Below is our typical project process. Since each project is unique, the process may vary slightly for a particular project.
During this phase, we’ll perform a home visit and walk-through of your rooms to discuss project possibilities and opportunities.
Through meetings and conversations, we’ll discuss your project needs, objectives, vison, and goals.
We'll collaborate on your design style to help lead you forward.
We’ll take detailed measurements of you home and help you create a project budget.
If needed, we’ll perform a space planning analysis for your project.
Then, we'll create a design concept that includes up to a few layout options, a proposed design style, and a proposed color scheme; these will be based on your home's design elements and measurements, common themes in your project inspiration, and any other crucial details gathered from our previous meetings and conversations.
After receiving feedback from you, we'll refine and make modifications to the preferred design concept and select a layout to be used for future design work. This refined design concept makes any selection and procurement more efficient and ensures that we are on the same page with the overall design of the space.
Based on the refined design concept created in the previous phase of work, we'll select specific pieces of furnishings and materials, which will be aligned to the design concept and your budget.
If sample materials and finishes are available, we will pick them up from stores and suppliers; then, we will present the samples to you so that you can see the sample materials in your home where they are intended to be used, rather than in a showroom where they look slightly different.
In most cases, we will coordinate with the various vendors, stores, and suppliers to purchase the materials on your behalf to pass along any designer trade discounts available.
We will create final layouts based on your selected furnishings and materials. If any remodel work is needed, we will create construction documents for city permitting and/or installation by other qualified professionals like contractors, painters, electricians, etc.
If needed, we can recommend a contractor, painter, or other professional. Before any potential construction begins, we would attend a walk-through meeting at your home with any other design professionals to go over the proposed design and answer any questions.
For remodel projects, we will check in and observe the installation periodically to ensure that the construction documents are being followed, troubleshoot issues that may typically arise during construction, and answer any questions that typically come up in the construction process.
Optionally, we will select and purchase décor, decorative accessories, and plants for your home, and arrange them as needed.
Finally, will ensure everything is delivered, all work is completed, and everything is placed correctly according to plan and visual appeal.
