This option is for you if you’re looking to update your home without any major construction.

You’ll feel like you’re in a brand new home after we refresh the furnishings in your home including furniture, area rugs, lighting, tables, accessories and more. And the best part? You won’t have to live through construction!

This package can include light renovations such as tile work, wallpaper, painting or other similar needs.

Collaboration

• I will work with you to get your design preferences, define your design style and figure out exactly what you need.

Concept Development

• You’ll receive a Mood Board which will serve as a visual guide for the vibe of the project. If you feel I’ve captured the feeling you’re after, we’ll move forward to the actual designing!

Design Development

• I’ll specify all the products necessary to complete your project including furniture, lighting, area rugs, tables, accessories, art and more. Anything you will need to complete your project will be presented to you for approval.

Procurement

• How to proceed from here is up to you - I can handle the ordering and tracking of all design details, or I’ll provide you with a complete list of purchasing links so you can buy at your own pace.

Installation

• Again, the choice is yours. I’ll act as project manager to bring your refresh to completion including working with various tradespeople and installing all furnishings and décor. Or, if you’re more of a DIY kind of person, you can bring the project to life on your own time when it’s convenient for you and your family.

Step 1 Book a complimentary Discovery Call to see if your goals are a good fit for this Design Service.

Step 2 Schedule your Kick Off meeting to establish the overall goals and lay the foundation for the design plan, confirm the scope of work and work to determine your investment level.

Step 3 I’ll present your Mood Board, my interpretation of your wishes, to ensure that we’re on the right design path.

Step 4 This is the exciting creative work that turns your Mood Board into a real life design plan with all the details considered and planned. At the end of this step I’ll present the complete Design Plan for approval, including the final investment numbers.

Step 5 From labor to ordering and tracking purchases, this is when vision truly becomes reality.

Step 6 The final installation of all items we’ve purchased for your project. You’ll walk into your home and feel totally refreshed. Yay!

How do I know if I need an interior designer?

• You’re overwhelmed by the thought of picking the right paint colors (did you know there are 100s of shades of white?!)

• You’re considering new construction, an addition, renovation, remodel or just a refresh and you need an interior designer to complement your architect and focus on the daily functionality and details of all the interiors.

• You’re too busy with your own life and work to take on a project of this size and scale.

• Your space lacks style or doesn’t suit your lifestyle.

• You know the interior style you want and like, but you don’t know how to make it happen.

• You want help incorporating new furnishings with existing ones.

• You want to minimize expensive mistakes and the cost of fixing them.

• Your home was great 10 or 20 years ago, but it just doesn’t have the right flow or feeling that your family needs today.

• You’ve tried to design your own home and realized that you don’t know where to find the right pieces or how to form a cohesive design style.

If you answered “YES” to any of the above, an interior designer is right for you!

How much will an interior designer cost? Design Services range in investment depending on the type of project and the scope of work. All my design fees are flat rate fees so you’ll know ahead of time exactly what it will cost to have an interior designer transform your space. One thing you can be sure of is that I’ll be transparent in my pricing model and fee schedule; an honest partnership is the most important aspect of your project!

I don’t really want to do any major renovations. Can my home really feel like new without that much work? Yes, totally! You’d be surprised what a coat of paint, new lighting and some fresh furnishings can do to a space! Even changing the layout of a room can make it feel like it’s been totally transformed, and I’m so excited for you to experience this!

How long will the process take? Well, that really depends on the scope of work. One room will obviously take less time than a five, but it also depends on how much updating we’re doing. Plan on the creative process taking 5-10 weeks for a complete design plan to come together, while the Procurement & Installation phases usually take a minimum of 3 months to complete.

If we decide to include minor renovations who will complete that work? If you have a contractor that you’ve worked with in the past I’ll be happy to partner with them to oversee the work to ensure our vision is brought to life. If you don’t have a contractor already I will be happy to provide you with a list of contractors you can contact and hire to complete the work.

How is this different than a Full Service Design project? Full Service Design means I will create a turn-key design experience for your project, from initial concept through to the final installation. Furnishings & Décor projects don’t include major construction such as moving, adding or removing walls, changing any structural or architectural elements such as windows and we won’t modify floor plans. However, we may consider adding ambient or decorative lighting, tile accents, new paint and even mouldings. After that we’ll work on updating everything within the walls and ceiling.
