What is Working with an Interior Designer Really Like?

What do most people think interior designers do in our projects on a daily basis? We're represented on TV as choosing colors and fabrics, visiting furniture showrooms, and presenting a finished full home renovation with furnishings and decor design to clients in a matter of a few days…

1. The Knowledge & Expertise of a Specialist

The reality is that handling your project from start to finish depends on our skills and many years of experience in managing and coordinating the many moving parts of your project. While the finished result is in your mind, we are not only building your project from start to finish for presentation, but we are also busy deconstructing your project into a multitude of steps and processes to carry out your polished design.

We help you decide where to splurge and where to save and then schedule your materials and finishes. We work beyond the aesthetics to improve the design for function and flow. It also takes time to coordinate between builders and contractors, producing electrical and construction plans and many tasks behind the scenes to achieve your desired outcome; your dream space.

2. Project Management from Start to Finish

For your interior/exterior portion of your furnishings design project, once we have your project scope clear, we hit the ground running with specifying, procuring and creating your specially designed items of furniture, furnishings, decorative light fixtures, decorative hardware, decorative fixtures, appliances, decorative accessories and the like, including coordination of (services such as) wall covering installation, decorative painting, window treatments, etc. 

For your construction portion of your design project, once your specialty design is created, we are busy creating plans and documents, finishing schedules,  coordinating project bids, and advising you on the best approach to your desired outcome.

3. Guidance in Smart Investments for the Long-Term

Working with us for your design project, whether it's a from the ground up new build, to a full home and property renovation, to internal furnishings, fixtures and decor, is a wise investment. Your design team will keep you on track, alleviate decision fatigue and second guessing, avoiding the need for change orders, and provide you with near-exact cost estimates through apples to apples comparison through the bid process. We've been known to help our clients avoid so much stress, I've even been told we've saved marriages!

I am passionate about your home design, and I and my team strive to not only change your home, but improve your life!
