Our Full-Service Interior Design Process, From Consultation to Installation

Hiring a full-service interior designer is a meaningful investment, not only financially, but emotionally. Your home is personal. It reflects how you live, gather, rest, and grow.

Step 1: Project Initiation

Discovery, Clarity, Alignment

1. Client Application
   You’ll begin by completing our Client Application, where you’ll share details about your home, goals, investment range, timeline, and vision. This allows us to understand your space and determine how best to support your project.

2. In-Person Design Consultation

   We meet in your home for a comprehensive, two-hour design consultation. During this session, we:

   • Walk through your space

   • Take measurements and reference photos

   • Discuss how you live and use each room

   • Identify challenges and opportunities

   • Clarify priorities and investment expectations

3. Defined Scope, Budget, & Letter of Agreement
   Following the consultation, we define your project scope, outline a realistic budget range, and provide a clear Letter of Agreement. Once the agreement is approved and the initial deposit is received, we officially begin our partnership.

Step 2: Design

Concept Development & Refinement

This is where your interior design project begins to take shape.

1. Project Kick-Off & Trade Day
   We coordinate any necessary site visits with contractors or trade partners, review existing conditions, and gather technical details required for thoughtful design execution.

2. Design Development

   During this phase, we curate and refine your design concept. This may include:

   • Space planning and layout development

   • Material and finish selections

   • Furniture and lighting sourcing

   • Custom or built-in concepts

   • Sustainable material considerations

3. Design Presentation
   You’ll receive a comprehensive design presentation outlining selections, layouts, and the overall design vision. Depending on the scope and complexity of your project, this may also include detailed drawings or 3D renderings to help you fully visualize the space.

Step 3: Project Implementation

Execution with Precision: With approval in place, we move into project execution.

1. Procurement

   We manage ordering, vendor coordination, tracking, and logistics to ensure all furnishings, materials, and finishes arrive correctly and on schedule.

2. Installation

   We oversee installation days, coordinating deliveries, trades, and placement. Every detail is considered, from furniture layout to final styling of your space.

3. Reveal Day
   The final step is installation and styling. With every piece thoughtfully placed and each detail carefully layered, your space is complete: refined, functional, and deeply personal, ready to be lived in and enjoyed.
