Depending on the service package you choose you will make 2-3 payments. Your first payment is a non-refundable retainer fee which initiates the concept development phase. The retainer fee is a part of our design service fee. Our design service fee is not a part of the furnishings and decor budget, cost of materials and contractor costs which are budgeted separately for full transparency.
Using your existing furniture is definitely encouraged and accepted. If you are considering our One Day Design, your desire to repurpose and reuse pieces would compliment this service. With that said, we are also very honest about what works and what doesn't - for example if a piece is just too big for the room, we will recommend moving it to another room where it might work better. We will also recommend donating/selling furniture that may not fit with the new design.
Each design project has an estimated timeline. Depending on the scope of work, your project could last anywhere from 8 weeks to 16 weeks. After we decide to work together your project is outlined on our project management sheet to keep us all on track on tasks and deadlines.
Absolutely! We have long standing relationships with the professionals who we trust. We have high standards when it comes to keeping our clients happy, so we only work with the best. We don’t take referral kickbacks either; we just think they are the best in the industry!
Reviewing any inspiration images that you have collected, such as from magazines or Pinterest, will help us further uncover your style and direction. It might also be a good idea to have some pictures of styles you do not like, so we know what to stay away from during your interior design project.
We promise not to take it personally! Please just tell us what you do not like and why, and we will source alternatives during the revisions period, It does take a little extra time at the beginning of the design process to get to know your taste. If you are having trouble visualizing the final outcome of your home, we can do photorealistic 3-D renderings.
This greatly depends on the client’s budget, but I carefully source my selections based on quality regardless.We utilize a wide and varied group dealers, to-the- trade-only showrooms, local workrooms, and retail stores around the Virginia and surrounding areas. It is entirely up to you whether you would like to see items in person. Many of our clients never see the furniture until it shows up in their home. Just your designer know your preference.
While every project is different, we can give you an accurate estimate of what you will need to spend to achieve your desired outcome. We will also work with you to create and stick to a budget based on your project’s scope of work. Some things to consider when creating a budget include how involved in the design process you want to be, how quickly you can make decisions, and if pursuing a remodel, how involved in project management you would like us to be.
We do charge a non-refundable fee for our initial in home consultation since we are blocking out a specific time on our calendar and traveling to your home to assess the space, make recommendations, give solid design advice and direction, and put togther a Fee Proposal for you. Most clients understand that this is a minimal cost compared to not calling in a professional from the beginning and possibly end up making costly mistakes.
