FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
At Christopher Barnes Interiors, we tailor our pricing to each project’s unique needs, providing transparent, customized proposals that outline design fees and estimated budgets. Our fees typically include design services and project management, while furnishings and materials are billed separately. We keep you informed with clear, itemized budgets throughout the process—ensuring no surprises, just thoughtful investments and beautiful results.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a complimentary call to connect and learn about your vision. If we’re a good fit, we’ll follow up with a custom proposal outlining scope and next steps. Next, we visit your home to take measurements and discuss how you live and what you’d love to change. Whether you have inspiration images or just a feeling you’re after, we’ll translate that into a cohesive design concept. Once you approve the direction, we dive into the details—floor plans, finishes, furnishings, and custom pieces. You’ll receive a digital lookbook and a clear, itemized budget. From there, we handle purchasing, tracking, and coordinating with trusted trades, keeping you updated without overwhelming you. Then comes installation and styling, where your space comes to life. We ensure every detail is perfected, so you walk into a home that feels uniquely yours. Finally, we do a walkthrough together to confirm everything’s just right, and we leave you with a care guide for your beautiful new space.
