How a Design Consultation Works

Anthropometrics
All projects begin with a design consultation right in the convenience of the home or office. One should plan about 1 to 2 hours for an initial consultation. During this time, the designer will walk through the home or office and discuss the homeowner's design goals and visions, as well as determine the scope of the project.
A client profile is one of the tools the interior designer uses to help understand the client's unique desired outcome. The client profile is filled out by the designer, to ensure the correct information is collected during the first meeting. If the client would like to fill in the questionnaire by themselves, he or she has the option to sent the client profile by e-mail to the designer before the first initial one on one meeting.

After the consultation, the designer develops a customized proposal for the homeowner which outlines what is needed to fulfill the identified design goals, and assists the client in prioritizing the work, and develops the budget appropriately.

The Design Services Include:

Hourly design consultation
Virtual Design: Design done by the internet
Paint color specification
Space Planning
Visuals through computer assisted drafts
Selection of furniture, art, lighting, and accessories
Specification of appropriate finishes and materials for floors, walls, windows (aesthetic & functional), cabinets, and counter-tops
Custom furniture design
Custom window treatment design
Work with architects/builders in the design. Building of new homes or home remodels including kitchens and bathrooms
Redesign which uses the furnishings the homeowner already owns, in fresh ways for a new look & feel without purchasing new items or wasting the budget on frivolous items.

With this consultation, the homeowner will receive professional design, for the best price possible.
