In-Home Design
Your home is your sanctuary, your place to escape from the world and relax. It is a piece of you and should reflect your style, tastes, and likes. Having an inviting and comfortable place to unwind at the end of the day is important for your quality of life and mental health. As styles change and trends progress it is important to keep your house up to date and fresh. While looking through design magazines and browsing Pinterest can certainly help generate some ideas, it can be difficult putting the pieces of the puzzle together without the help. Working with an interior designer is completely possible to fuse your own personality and style into a cohesive, inviting, and stylish design.
Are you ready to achieve your dream home? Do you need help getting on the right track to create a space that matches you and your family's style?

How It Works
Step 1
Design Questionnaire
Please fill out the design questionnaire. It will tell me about your personality, style, goals, wish list and budget. This is a very crucial step for us to know if we agree on the same direction. I'll be in touch with you by email within 24-48 hours to shedule an appointment for our first meeting.
Step 2
Initial In-Home
Consultation
This one-hour consultation in your home is a very important time. We'll continue to discuss the scope of the project, I'll take a tour of your home/space, and I'll answer all your questions. We'll also discuss my design process, budget, timeframe and reserve your spot.
Step 3
The Design Starts
Once we agree to work together, we'll sign a Letter of Agreement confirming the scope of the project, fees, timetable and terms and conditions. This way everyone is on the same page and knows what to expect from each other. It's time to create the design.
-
Space survey, I will measure and take pictures of the space and any existing furniture and/or accessories that you would like to incorporate into the project. The design retainer is due at this stage.
-
Once all the information is collected, I will create an Inspirational Mood Board, which is a concept for the design. It will show you a mix of pictures with the style that I choose in terms of materials, colors, decor, lighting and fabrics. I'll share it with you through my client portal where you'll be able to give me feedback or to make adjustments.
-
Once you're happy with the concept, I'll create a floor plan layout to scale, and 3D board ,including all suggested selections (it shows you what your space would look like when the makeover is completed) and design elevations when needed.
-
We'll review the design and we'll discuss the options through the customer portal or in person.
-
Final Design Presentation, including a shopping list for all suggestions with direct links. Also I give the option to have me purchase and ship all items directly to you, prior to set up. If you prefer to shop at a local retailer, I can give you some guidance or I can go shopping with you.
-
One time meeting with your contractor of choice to go over the details of the project. Additional meetings will be billed at $109.00/hr.
Step 4
Installation Time
If you prefer we'll arrange a day for me to come to your house. On that day, I'll do the "mise en scene" (put together) of your furniture and decoration, making a styled space ready to use right away!
Finally, I'll be glad to take pictures of your project.
