- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When we start our design process, we take the time required to fully understand our clients’ design and decorative dreams, as well as lifestyle, level of expectation, financial parameters, and timeline. Afterward, we dive in using our endless creativity and ingenuity to develop and present a custom design plan of the entire project so clients can easily grasp the concepts created. Including floor plan, lighting plan, furnishings layout, images of furnishings, samples of all surface materials including, fabrics, paint colors, etc. to feel, see and touch. With clients' full review and allowing revisions, if necessary, we get anticipated approval. Then it is ALL HANDS-ON DECK placing orders and navigating logistics so we can deliver design finish materials and furnishings to meet important project schedule. If there are renovations our team will provide contractors and custom build vendors with construction details right away, so their work can be completed on time for installation day. When our clients' gorgeous home is returned to them by our team and they personally experience sense of AHHH and tell us job well done, is our ultimate reward!
