The design consultation and proposal:
Our first appointment is the initial design consultation, and will last one to two hours. We will tour your home to assess your lifestyle and preferred aesthetic, what the project entails and discuss the budget. We also discuss things we may see that need attention – ie outdated fireplace, dated or worn flooring, lighting, etc.
At the conclusion of the consultation, if we mutually agree we are a good fit to move forward, we collect a retainer and put together a detailed proposal. We know every project presents its own unique set of circumstances, so the proposal is an important part of the design process.
We discuss what you hope to achieve at the end of the project. We take the time necessary to establish the scope of your project, the style you desire, colors you like (or don’t like!), and your investment in the project. Not sure about that? No worries, we help with creating a budget too.
Note that this is not the design presentation. This proposal will outline what we determine is the best course of action for your project and what the proposed investment will be.
