HOW WE GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IN OUR FIVE STEP DESIGN PROCESS

The master bath you moved into ten years ago isn’t doing it for you anymore. You’re done staring at outdated photos that haven’t sparked joy whenever you walk by them for months. Maybe it’s the stairs leading down to that unfinished basement that irk you every time you walk down them. 

Making the decision to hire design help can feel like a lengthy and expensive endeavor. I have clients tell me time and time again how nervous they were to make the initial decision to hire help. I completely understand the initial reasons that set people back from hiring outside design assistance.

My team thought it would be wise to outline our Five Step Design Process that we walk through with every client we start with. Whether you’re simply perusing this site for design inspiration, or interested in using our services, we want this post to be a useful resource for all our online visitors. 

1. STEP 1: PROJECT INQUIRY

Submit a project inquiry on our contact page. We’ll send you an overview of our design services & some guidance regarding our fees. If you like what you see, we’ll set up a phone consultation to find out more about your design dilemmas and goals for your project. This first conversation is about determining if we’d like to work together. 

STEP 2: SITE VISIT & PROPOSAL

We’ll meet with you at your space to review your current interior and discuss the changes that you are considering. We’ll talk about your style aspirations and gather answers to questions about how we can best collaborate on your space.

After this meeting, we will provide you with a proposal of the design services that we feel would work best for your project and the fees associated with them.

You will be able to approve your proposal via our online portal and once your deposit has been received, we will begin to create your Custom Inspiration Board.

STEP 3: INSPIRATION BOARD PRESENTATION

We gather lots of great information from our visit to your space. We pair this with our own special secret sauce of creativity to create a visual inspiration for your rooms. Using images, paint palettes and fabric samples, your Custom Inspiration Board will be presented to you and will establish the design direction for our project.

Based on your feedback from our meeting, the design direction will be further tweaked and/or approved and we will then create your final design plan. We’ll also take measurements and collect any other information that we may need at this time.

STEP 4: SOURCING & PURCHASING

Based on your approved final design plan, we will provide you with detailed specifications for any items that you have selected. Once approved, we will order these selections on your behalf. We also hunt and gather other goodies that you’ll need to make your space sing.

If your project is a full scale renovation, we’ll be working diligently behind the scenes along with your contractor to make sure that your materials/ selections are on site for installation, based on the project timeline.

STEP 5: INSTALLATION & ACCESSORIZING

Once all of your furnishings have arrived, we will oversee the placement of them in your space. We believe that the finishing touches complete a room. We love when we can surprise our clients with a little room “reveal”!
