FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each project is unique. The first step is to setup the initial consultation, so we can discuss exactly what you are looking for and see if we can help. We will gather all necessary information to be able to define your style. Over a series of meetings, we will take what we’ve learned about you and your style and turn it into a thoughtful design for your home. We will present you with furniture plans and color palettes to ponder, fabrics and materials to touch and see in your space, and images of furniture and lighting we’ve thoughtfully selected specifically for your home. If desired, we will create photo-realistic renderings with our selections so that you can truly visualize your space before making any final decisions. We generally present one or two rooms at each meeting, if the construction schedule allows, and we will always discuss pricing of items along the way. We take your budget seriously and work hard to balance special, splurge-worthy pieces with every day, cost-conscious items. Depending on the scope of your project and the timeliness of your decision-making, this phase can take a couple of weeks (for one or two rooms) to a few months or more (for a full-scale design or remodel). Your feedback is vital during this phase so that we can be sure we are expertly translating your style into the perfectly designed home of your dreams.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
At Nativ, we love a wide range of clients. We work from anyone that is buying their first home, to someone rehabbing their latest investment property. We offer services to help choose paint colors, increase curb appeal, and anything you need for the interior - from concepts all the way to procurement and installations. Our rehab packages are a sure way to cut out the headaches, questions from the contractors, and shorten your timeline on construction. Let us take care of all of your orders, tracking, delivery and installation so you can come into a fully finished space.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do your research on who you are hiring. A lot of interior designers love to have one specific style, and the goal is to find someone that fits your taste. At Nativ, our wide sense of inspirations and project diversity allows us to tap into a range of styles and budgets, but creating a connection with our clients is the most important. Take a moment to check the brand - Do they have a style you like? Are they easy to communicate with? And do do they have a good understanding of your budget?
