Professional Design Services
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 will then set up a site visit.
I visit your space to identify your style and wish lists. We look through existing pieces you would like to incorporate into the new space, and discuss general concepts and colors. Photos and measurements are 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, review of any blueprints and plans also takes place at this Initial Site Visit.
DESIGN CONCEPT REVIEW AND APPROVAL
In a short time, I present you with a full design plan, which includes a floor plan, paint colors, lighting, furnishings and additional recommendations. We then review any changes or adjustments you may have. At the completion of this phase, you will have the final design concept.
GOOD BONES AND KEY ELEMENTS
This is when we gather all of the elements together for the space. Since decorating is very much a layering process, we begin with the structure, what I like to call the bones. Contractors, electricians and painters, are scheduled, any mirrors, glass, stone, or tile are ordered, as well as furnishings.
SOFT GOODS
Here are two of my happy words - fabric selection. We finalize drapery and window dressings, linens, and rugs.
ART AND ACCESSORIES
The final layer is what completes the vision. These are the special treasures that make the room personal.
