Interior design is a fluid, non-linear, process.  For purposes of illustration, here is a general overview of the various steps involved.

Initial Consultation - Our first step is to meet with you, ask questions and listen, to find out about your design and space needs. We will also take the time to introduce ourselves and let you know how our expertise could best serve you. Communication, trust and mutual respect are key ingredients in any successful project.

Agreement - The basic parameters of your project, your budget, the general timing and our design fee are agreed upon.

Site Investigation - This step involves a more detailed discussion of the area being designed. We will assess your current interior and discuss what changes and additions are being considered. At this point, initial measurements are made and colors and materials are discussed. Informal interviews with you and your family are also completed to enable us to create environments that best suit your lifestyle.

Preliminary Presentation - Based on a combination of what we've learned from you, plus our own expertise, we will present our design concept through the use of photos, floor plans, fabric, paint and flooring samples and other materials we recommend.

Final Presentation - Our initial ideas have now been refined into a master plan. This will include a budget proposal (where appropriate) and enough specifics to be able to generate bids, if needed, from contractors.

Implementation - Once the design is approved, furnishings and materials are ordered and all painting, construction and other work are scheduled. We coordinate and observe the process to insure that the work meets design criteria and quality standards.
