Are you ready to start a project?
2 We Schedule a Time to get Started
This is when you tell us what you have in mind for your project, sharing any existing plans you may have with us along with a selection of inspiring images you’d like to guide the design process. If appropriate, we’ll arrange a visit to the property, take measurements and photographs as well as confirm any other details with you.
3 We Complete our Space Planning Options
All the information related to your project is assembled back at our office and we start to draw a few options for how your space could be laid out. Drawings are created with 3D views and presented to you for your thoughts and feedback. Deciding on the layout of your home is the first critical step in the design process.
4 We Get Creative
Our team starts sourcing materials, fabrics and furnishings from the partners, specialists, and suppliers we regularly work with, as well as your own preferred suppliers. All the critical details needed to make decisions – from sizes to pricing – are collated, samples are ordered, and renderings are made of room treatments.
5 Our Presentation to You
We’ll arrange a presentation for you at key stages throughout the design process to discuss the renderings, proposed fabrics, furnishings, materials, and finishes with you. This schedule is determined by your preference for viewing spaces. For example, some clients prefer to assess social areas (e.g. the living room, dining room, and kitchen) together, before looking at private areas (e.g. bedrooms, family room, and home office).
6 Let the Magic Begin
Once the design concept is approved, our team starts placing orders and scheduling installation and delivery dates.
7 What Happens Next?
Our team receives furniture (usually at a local white glove warehouse or fulfillment facility), and make arrangements for installations, while closely monitoring the schedule and budget to ensure the project stays on track.
8 Installation Day
When all the tradesmen have completed their work and all the permanent fixtures are in place, we schedule between 1-3 days with you for staging. This is where we bring all the furniture from the warehouse and put all the final pieces in place for you, and make your house a home.
9 The Reveal
This is the best part of the process! We reveal your beautiful new home to you, and you get to experience it for the first time.
10 It's Time to Showcase your New Home
If you’re comfortable, we’ll schedule a date and time for a project photoshoot so we can celebrate our achievement together!
