A well-thought-out

interior design process

A well-thought-out interior design process becomes the roadmap to realizing our full vision for our clients. Our planned, organized, and coordinated method ensures builders and contractors thoroughly understand the design plan and specifications along the way.

Consultation

Always where we start, to assess the project and give guidance on what you need, from a professional’s point of view. You’ll receive ideas and a clear plan for how to achieve your dream space.

Programming

During this phase, we explore and brainstorm, learn everything about you, to see through your eyes. It includes discussing the project in detail, documenting, identifying your style preferences and ideas, followed by site visits to measure and photograph. We’ll establish a preliminary budget and obtain any existing architectural plans.

Design Concept

This is where space planning comes into play, a requisite for any well-designed interior. We will first refine the interior design concept and creative direction. Then create sketches and outline floor plans to clarify the design intent. Finally, we will select finishes for the different elements (materials, finishes, fixtures, and furniture). At this point we are ready to present our designs to you for your approval before moving to our next step.

Design Finalization

We will have the floorplans, elevations, materials selection, and furniture plans developed into final drawings from the approved design concept. Any last tweaks occur here, to keep your project on the most ideal timeline and to avoid unnecessary delays related to indecision or repeated changes.

Project Management and Purchasing

After the planning and sketching, we begin implementing the designs plans, turning your dreams into reality. We’ll discuss timeline expectations, based on your project and the extent of work needed. Regular site visits will address any challenges which arise during the process (they always do) and will ensure builders and contractors follow the plan.

Delivery and Installation

We’ll track your custom furniture and accessory orders, coordinating white-glove delivery and installation of window treatments, wallpapers, artwork, and other elements. A walk-through will address any last-minute issues, then we will schedule a final meeting to take professional photos. Afterward, we’ll leave you to enjoy your dream home!
