Hiring an interior designer is a smart choice because it is an investment in your home!  A good interior designer looks at the whole picture in creating a design and helps you avoid costly mistakes.  As your interior designer, I will guide you through the design process and introduce you to an array of products available with my access to a network of suppliers and resources.  I will make things easier for you by managing your project, saving you time and money, and in the end, increasing the value of your home. 

     It's not all about the interior designer's taste but rather the designer's ability to listen and ask questions to capture and translate your tastes. I am committed to creating a space that is uniquely yours, thoughtfully designed with the aim to stand the test of time both in quality and design. I will strive to source quality items and unique pieces to create rooms that reflect your design aesthetic. 
     
​      I will be mindful of your budget and promise to produce beautiful and unique spaces in your home that you will love and cherish.
     It’s important to start with an initial consultation to gain a clear understanding of your project. I will visit your home and tour the space to be designed or go over any architect or building plans.  This will allow me to get to know you, determine your style, and what you hope to achieve. If you have any pictures of interiors, Pinterest board, inspirational images to show me, this will help me identify your style. I will have many questions about how you would like to use the space and what you hope to achieve. I will follow-up with a quote and outline of the plan to proceed.  The initial consultation cost is $250.
YOUR STYLE 
Pinterest and Houzz are great resources to use in deciding what you like and dislike and in turn helping me understand the same.  You can create your own boards and pin images you love to them, or cut and paste your favorite pictures from design/decorating magazines.  You will soon notice a pattern emerging, and this will be helpful for both you and I. 
YOUR BUDGET
It's extremely helpful to know your budget before you start, both for structural and building work, as well as for furniture and accessories. This will help me make the right decisions when considering different products.
COMMUNICATION
Communication is key. Get everyone on board right from the start. I need to know your partner or spouse's expectations, likes and dislikes as well as your own. Good communication will help us achieve the functionality, look, and price tag you have in mind. The more you can tell me, the better and more smoothly the process will be.
If your space is in need of an overhaul but nothing structural, I can help guide you through the process.  We start with the initial consultation and then follow-up with a proposal for the initial design and, if accepted, a custom design based on your style including any or all of the following - updated color scheme, flooring, window treatments, furniture, lighting and/or accessories.  I will order, track and manage all purchases. I can project manage any painting, wallpapering, floor and window treatment installation. Finally, I will install and style your finished space.
The process will typically include these steps:
  • initial consultation
  • proposal (quote) for initial design will be emailed to you (allows for one round of revisions*)
  • design board and furniture plan
  • presentation (emailed, in person or by phone)
  • preparation of quote or purchase orders is emailed to you for approval
  • purchase of products and accessories, and coordination of any custom pieces, including furniture, pillows and window treatments
  • tracking of ordered products and time management
  • installation and styling 
  • *Additional revisions upon request will be charged at an hourly rate.
