Research
In this first phase, we dig deep into getting to know you and your lifestyle. Your wants, dreams, needs, likes and dislikes are all explored with the aid of discussions, inspirational images, samples, and questionnaires that we provide. We will also supply information on a budget to align your dreams with practical solutions. Through these conversations and meetings, we will gather the information needed to zero in on how you want your home to look and feel when it’s complete. Afterall, this is your home, and we want you to love the outcome!
Development
Once we have a detailed understanding of your personality and your preferences, we will begin sourcing for the best possible selections. From furnishings and fabrics, finishes and materials, lighting and accessories, every item is carefully selected to suit your space and style. This is also when technical drawings such as floor plans will be created to achieve maximum functionality and flow. The drawings will be reviewed together so you know exactly what you’re looking at and have a chance to discuss revisions. During this phase, visits to the project site to meet various trades will be scheduled. Once we have pulled together a thoughtful and complete picture of what your space will look like, we present it all to you in one clearly laid out format. It is at this Design Presentation when the real sense of excitement kicks in as you can clearly visualize what’s to come. Pricing will also be shared so that there are no surprises.
Procurement
Procurement is a fancy way of saying purchasing. Now that the details of your design dreams have been approved, you can relax knowing that we will take care of the ordering details. These details include confirming product specifications and timelines with the vendor; finalizing the purchasing; following up to make sure the order is in process; tracking deliveries; working with the receiving company; and handling problems such as damaged goods. You can have peace-of-mind while we work behind-the-scenes to ensure all the pieces come together.
Installation
This is when you get to see your dreams become a reality! The installation of your carefully curated selections will be arranged, either all in a single day, or over multiple days, depending on the project. From furniture assembly and placement to art and drapery installations, we will cover it all. In this final phase, the finishing touches will be put into place, and you can feel satisfied knowing that you have a well-designed home that is uniquely yours. Your personal sanctuary.
