FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
In design there are never two projects that are the same. Each client will need a specialized bid depending on their needs. My fee is $125 per hour for a consultation. An average room ie: living/great room, dining room, master bedroom with all new furnishing will cost between $5000-$10,000 per room depending on selections.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet at clients home for a consultation to see what the clients needs are. During the consultation I take measurements and photos and establish the budget client wishes to work in. I also learn about clients likes and interest to make sure it is a home that reflects who lives there. I will provide an approximate price for furnishings requested in the space as well as the design fees to complete the project. Once contract is signed the process of choosing furnishings and shopping begins. Large furniture pieces are usually sent to the clients home and then all of the final touches are placed into the home by me.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied Interior Design and opened my first design business in California in 2000. I moved to Boise 8 years ago and started my own business here 4 years ago after working with another designer for a few years. I decided it was time for me to start designing on my own again so I opened Lyn's Design Style.
