The design consultation is an hour-long session. We will cover a lot of ground here.
During this time, we’ll get to know you better. We will ask you a lot of questions, to help us get an idea of your design style and how you plan to use your space. The information gathered will help us determine how we can best help you – whether that is as a full-service or an E-Design client. We will discuss your budget, or help you set one.
Absolutely! We’ll want to see the spaces that you need help with, but we’d also like to see other areas of your house. There may be items that can be repurposed throughout your home. We can help you decide what goes and what stays.
Definitely. Feel free to bounce ideas off of us here, or ask us for our advice on projects you have started or plan to start in the near future. This is where we help you determine the possibilities for your space.
Not at all. Consider the consultation our first date. We hope we’ll see you again, but we understand that we have to earn your trust. If you DO choose to hire us for a full-service project, your consultation fee will be deducted from your balance.
E-Design is virtual interior design. You send us pictures of your space, dimensions of our room, along with any items that you wish you use there – and we will send you a custom step-by-step plan to transform your space. You will implement this plan yourself, at your own pace.
You will get a style board graphing furniture, accessories, paint, rug, and lighting selections; a detailed pricing sheet with information on how/where to purchase these items; and a specification sheet showing you how to arrange your items upon arrival. You can purchase your E-Design items at your leisure.
You will receive your E-Design plan within two weeks of submitting your photos and dimensions.
You have a tool box and you aren’t afraid to use it. You love the smell of fresh paint and you think it’s funny when it gets in your hair, face, or on your clothes. Spending a day at Ikea makes your heart beat. You are crafty, creative, and project-oriented. You need design direction, but can easily follow a plan. You’d rather save a dime, than time. If this sounds like you, than E-Design may be a perfect fit.
