At the very beginning of your project. Whether you’re refurnishing your space or building a new home, you want your interior designer on the job from the beginning to ensure every detail is addressed. We work with architects, engineers, and/or builders before plans are finalized so the interior is truly personalized to you.
Even if you’re not breaking ground or ready to make furniture purchases soon, the moment you are ready, having already consulted with us will allow our team to immediately get started
Our look is modern with international influence, using our clients’ taste and lifestyle to shape our design concepts. Everything we design we bring that perspective. Typical clients come to us looking for:
Of course! Part of our design study consists of a series of specific questions and observations that will uncover your aesthetic and predominant style. Typically, we find most people don’t fit into one particular box.We’re all influenced and inspired by many different styles, trends and looks and that’s what make each of our clients’ homes unique.
Every project varies based on the scope of work and size of the space, so the first time you’ll see an actual total cost will be at the design presentation. As far as design fees go, it’s typical to expect those to account for 10-20% of your total project budget. Here are some other cost-related facts to help you best determine if we’re the right firm for you.
The first step in an interior design project is the initial discovery call. This can be initiated by filling out our Tell us about your project form. This allows us to get to know you and your project, and it gives you the opportunity to ask us questions pertaining to the process.
After the discovery call, the design process begins with our on-site consultation (appointment can be at our office for new builds or other similar circumstances) with principle designer, Juliana Oliveira. After this appointment, if you feel we are the right design firm for you, we can use the information from the consultation and hit the ground running with the design concept phase. We’ll bring tradesmen to your house to begin the bid process within the first week or two, and in 6-8 weeks we’ll have the design concept ready to present. At that time, you can decide whether you’d like us to project manage the construction phase (or organize installation day). Once the project is complete, we’ll perform a final walk through with you to ensure no detail is left unaddressed.
For new construction projects and large renovations, you should expect the project to take anywhere from 1-3 years depending on scope and permitting process of your city. For smaller renovations (like a single room remodel), the time frame can be as little as 6-8 months. Refurnishing projects depend on lead time for products (i.e. if an item is stocked, made-to-order, or custom-made) and scope, sothey can take anywhere from 4-18 months to complete.
