What is involved in a typical design consultation?

An hourly consultation usually starts with a visit to your home or office to discuss your  design needs, goals, and budget. It’s followed by evaluation of your living space. Then verbal recommendations on color scheme, furniture layout, window and wall treatments, rugs, art and accessories are given.

I  need to buy a few pieces of furniture but my concern is they might not blend in with the existing furniture in the house. Can you help?

 Absolutely, I gladly shop with my clients or do it for them. My extensive recourses  fit any budget and my finds will make you happy and enhance your living space.

My home needs some major renovations done. I need somebody  to work out a strategy,  give me an advice on material selections and recommend a good contractor. Can designer do that and if so when should I hire an interior designer?

Yes, as an interior designer can help you develop a plan within your budget, recommend a good contractor, and oversee the project. I would recommend hiring a designer in the planning stages to avoid costly mistakes and make sure that remodeling process goes smoothly.

My Mom’s Birthday is coming and I’d like to get her something special so I was wondering  if it’s  possible to get a gift certificate for a design consultation?

Yes, gift certificates are available  for Hourly Consultations/ Makeovers.  I believe they make a wonderful and thoughtful gift. Please contact us and we’ll send it to you.

Start by answering these questions:

• What changes do you need to have and which would be nice to have?

• Who is going to use the space and what would be its  primary function?

• What is your budget?

• What kind of look and feel do you want the space to have? Collect magazine pictures, fabric swatches and etc. it will help you describe your vision to your designer.

• What existing pieces are you planning on keeping?

• What are the good and bad points of your existing living space?
