FULL SERVICE PROJECTS
A good rule of thumb is that one room takes roughly three to four months to complete depending on availability of materials and labor.
Price ranges for Professional Design Services from $5,000 for smaller rooms and bathrooms to $20,000 for larger spaces with multiple zones of functionality. One of the major advantages in retaining Professional Interior Design Services is the access to designer grade products. Elan Design is proud to offer you our cache of to-the-trade resources.
We've established a proven system that allows our clients to know where their projects stand, and what to expect next.
Here are some of the highlights.
We'll discuss your project, budget, and review our standard fees and rates for various services. Once we agree to work on the project together, we complete our Standard Operating Agreement. We accept a retainer for our services, and schedule your first onsite consultation.

We visit your space to identify your style and wish lists. Existing pieces you would like to incorporate are identified and catalogued. We discuss general concepts and colors. Photos and measurements are also taken at this initial meeting.
For new construction, we prefer to get in on the ground level. It is better to coordinate various details with the contractor and architect before construction begins to avoid having to add or delete something further in the process. To that end, we ask for copies of any blueprints and plans.
DESIGN CONCEPT REVIEW AND APPROVAL
It takes about two to four weeks to present you with a full design plan and proposal, which includes a floor plan, paint colors, artwork, lighting, furnishings, window dressings, rugs, throw pillows and linens, accessories and any additional recommendations for the space. We then review any changes or adjustments you may have. At the completion of this phase, you and your contractors will have the final design concept. The proposal is finalized, approved and paid.
PROCUREMENT
The team orders all fo the elements on the proposal. They are tracked and checked upon delivery. Any problem in the order is handled internally, and you enjoy ease of motion throughout the process. Once all of the pieces are delivered to the warehouse or our office, we schedule Installation Day.
During this time, any contract work is performed. This includes painting, electrical, carpentry,etc.
INSTALLATION
After the space is prepared and ready to be decorated, our team comes to install all of the artwork, furnishings, window dressings, rugs, lighting and whatever else was in the proposal. All of the elements are put in place exactly where they are supposed to go. This can take up to two days depending on the coordination of our professional installers.
PROFESSIONAL INTERIORS PHOTOGRAPHY
At the end of the process, we secure Professional Photography of the space. Photos are highlighted in our portfolio, marketing materials and sometimes submitted for publishing. These photographs are at the expense of Elan Design, and usually take about three hours to collect.
It is our experience the the better the plan, the smoother the process. The relationship with our clients is fundamental in executing refined luxurious spaces that support your everyday lifestyle. We pride ourselves in managing our full service projects with experience and professionalism throughout. Nothing makes us happier to hear our clients say "We could have never done this without you!" or "I could have never dreamed it would look this good." That's why we do what we do. We're excited for the possibility of helping you create your dream home, too.
