What are the steps involved in the interior design process?  Here is a breakdown of the services we most commonly employ:

 

• Initial consultation scheduled at your site or in our office

• Build a blueprint using design software, beginning with just a skeletal layout of the space, and furniture configuration

• Decide on built-in aspects like custom cabinetry, wall mouldings, doors and windows

• Tie together color schemes, surfaces, flooring, and rugs, including all materials & finishes

• Configure lighting, window coverings, and all fixtures

• Select furniture, art, electronics and accents, all orchestrated around a central focal point (This could also include searching for antiques and rare items, or for merchandise from other countries; and integrating your own possessions like photographs and collectibles into the new space)

• Gather a detailed estimate which includes all design work, labor, materials, and all specific items

• Draw up a written agreement covering costs, services, any interruptions, and especially, the possibility of variations from the original blueprint

• Select all required professionals through the bidding process

• Coordinate all on-site labor amongst installation specialists, painters, craftsmen and other workers;

• Organize deliveries on a set timeline
