DESIGN PROCESS

PHASE 1: PROJECT KICK OFF

Questionnaire & Phone Call

Upon receiving your Initial Consultation payment you will be given access to your user friendly client portal. The next step is to complete your design questionnaire which we will follow up with a discovery call.

Onsite Consultation & Intake

At this time we gather information, discuss design preferences, our process and any questions you may have. This is a working session which can last up to two hours. This process helps us determine if we are a good fit.


PHASE 2: SPACE PLANNING & DESIGN

Preliminary Design Concept

We will collaborate with you and begin the conceptual design stage which is when we start to formulate the vibe, layout and design plan. We will have showroom meetings, source fabrics, products and prep for 3D drawings. We will meet again for feedback and discuss alternate options if necessary. You will hear less of us after this stage while we prepare all drawings and design elements for the final design presentation.

Design Execution & Presentation

This is where it gets exciting! We present to you our full design presentation, complete with a digital presentation (ideal floor plan/ elevations) and samples to touch and feel, along with quotes from our trusted tradespeople. We ask questions, seek feedback, review the budget and note any revisions.


PHASE 3: PURCHASING, PROCUREMENT AND PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Ordering & Delivery Lead Time Assessment

Upon your approval, signed contract and collection of the deposit we are ready to execute our design plan. We source from a large network of trade professionals to create a curated original design for your space. We will create purchase orders, track, receive and deliver everything to you.

Budget Review

We will discuss remaining design fees and a final styling budget at this time. Receipt of any final balances is due two weeks before installation to ensure project is completed as scheduled.

Installation Period & Site Visits

We collaborate as a team with the various contractors, fabricators and/ or tradespersons to successfully turn the design vision into a reality.

Furniture Installation & Styling

This is when all the furnishings are delivered and we are stylizing your space(s). During this time we ask that the homeowners not be present so we can work our magic and prepare for the final HGTV style reveal.


PHASE 4: PROJECT COMPLETION!

Project Reveal

This is the moment you have been waiting for!! During this time we will walk through your newly completed space(s) where you will experience those initial concept drawings come to life.


Final Walk Through

We will create a punch list if needed to note any, if at all, deficiencies to be corrected by the appropriate team.

It is our philosophy that “Great design is Inspiring”. That said we would appreciate a testimonial of your design experience and referrals so we can continue to help busy career driven professionals come home feeling refreshed and inspired after a long hard day.
