A professional interior designer sees and conceptualizes the BIG picture, whereas owners/renters more often than not, merely focus on individual issues/materials/ colors, etc. Design Matters! A good design truly improves the way you live as seen from the many examples around us.
Collect clippings from magazines and photos of items and decors that appeal to you. Think about colors, styles, and effects you like. Know what you want to accomplish, what the room or house should do for you when finished. Should it be formal or casual, traditional or contemporary? Know your objective and lifestyle needs. Establish a time frame in which you would like to work.
Travel is welcomed as my work has taken me in several of the states as well as abroad, where furnishings were transported, and skilled people brought in for installation.
Letting the designer know what you can afford will help achieve what you want to meet your budget. For a new (empty) house or living space, you should estimate 25% of your purchased home price dedicated to furnishings.
Our initial consultation brings you a highly qualified interior designer to your home or office for an in-depth interview to identify your design objectives and outline the steps needed to accomplish them. This first meeting usually lasts one to two hours.
At the first meeting we will:
- Measure and photograph areas to be designed.
- Create a room by room list of necessary construction, furniture, colors, and accessory needs.
- Compile client’s existing materials that will not change.
Yes, there is a contract of intent, where the client is aware of my skillset and as well as what is expected of me to deliver.
The Final Selections are color, furniture, lighting, flooring, wall coverings, window treatment setting, bedding, custom pillows, and accessories, brings all of these elements together, with your finalized plan, with an extensive supply of resources from around the world, we select the materials and finishes that best represent you. The work does not end when the last piece of furniture has been placed. Once everything has been carefully placed and installed, have taken professional photographs, then we walk you through of the great reveal!
