Design Services

As your designer, I am here to assist you with what ever design dilemma may come your way.  I can help you as little or as much as you want.  I feel that all good design starts with a casual conversation!   I need to learn a little bit about you and  how you would like to see your space.  I am a firm believer that good design is about more than just a pretty room, but about how you live in it! I will listen and guide you in the best direction for you and your home!   Remember, I am here for you to make your home design dreams come to life!

My design services all depend on your needs.  I offer full design services, kitchen and bath design, cabinetry sales, new builds, full scale remodeling,  online design, color consultations, accessory shopping services and design for home staging.  Give me a call so we can set up your consultation and take that step towards designing your dream home!

Full Design 

Before I can dive into any new project I like to sit down and meet with you to assess your particular style and specific needs and also to determine the scope of the project.  Included in your initial consultation we will discuss any rooms and pieces that need to be included in the project and the direction you would like to go from there.

  • Access to my online design studio customized just for your project
  • A full scale 2D and 3D concept floor plan photos, including specific furniture placement suggestions.
  • Specific product recommendations for furniture, fabrics, window treatments, art and accessories. And tips for incorporating current pieces.

This approach is great if you’re interested in a redo and your a DIYer but don’t have the budget to do it all at once or just want a fresh perspective; I’ll essentially provide the blueprint and you complete the project in a time frame you choose!

  • Client design questionaire
  • Any other crucial info (i.e. furniture pieces that must be kept, colors/styles you love or loathe, etc.)
  • Project allowance (budget) and lifestyle
  • Pre-payment (retainer)

I’ll send you all the instruction you need to measure and photograph your space, as well as a few questions for you to answer to help me choose a direction for the design; once I’ve got all the information I’ll get to work!

Design and Color Consultation

This Design and Color Consultation is great for the person who wants nothing more than my advice. I will come to your home and you can ask about wall color recommendations, existing furniture placement or rearrangement, accessory placement or anything you may have design questions about. Maybe your unsure of what colors will work with your existing furniture, what fabric patterns are working together or what I would recommend for an empty corner in your living room…..the sky’s the limit, so ask away!  I do ask that before our apt, you let me know what types of questions you may have so that I can prepare before I arrive.

 

Accessory Shopping Services

I also offer accessory shopping assistance!  Accessories are the icing on the cake! They complete a room and make it feel homey! They are just as necessary to a complete room design as the sofa and chairs.  So if you aren’t sure how to update your home with accessories, I can help!

We first schedule a design consultation to meet you at your home to review your accessory needs.  Then I walk through your home with you to find out what area you will need accessories, take the appropriate measurements for each space then I go shopping!  If this is the type of design assistance you need, I’m here to help!

 

Shopping services are charged at an hourly rate and an estimate of costs will be evaluated at our consultation.

Design for Home Staging 

If you are selling your home and you are like most people, you like your home just the way it is.  Often it’s difficult to see the changes that are required to sell, but a professional incite can be the difference between selling quickly for more money, and your home languishing on the market for many months. 

The first thing you must remember is you want to SELL your house-not your STUFF.  De-personalization is a key step in helping potential buyers picture their things in place of yours.  Home Staging helps you do just that!
Staging comes in many forms. Staging includes recommendations for:

  • De-personalizing
  • De-cluttering
  • Optimizing furniture placement to create a good flow
  • Creating a warm, inviting space

What’s included in Design for Home Staging:

  • Project proposal of design plan for the home 3 hour comprehensive consultation (discussion of your space and its’ needs, including budget, costs, any pieces that will be kept, and what needs to be put away to maximize your home,  measuring for floor plan and any other specifics)
  • A basic floor plan ideas, including specific furniture placement suggestions for 1-3 key rooms.
  • Paint color recommendations (if applicable)
  • Shopping assistance to purchase or rent (if applicable)
  • Specific product recommendations and placements for furniture, window treatments, art and accessories.  Also tips for incorporating current pieces you already have.  If needed, rental of furniture and accessories may be available and will be an additional monthly fee and priced per job. (subject to availability) Please call to discuss.
  • Rental service recommendations if home is vacant and is based on a monthly rental program depending on rooms staged and amount of items required and time to complete the job. (subject to availability and extra hourly fee) We do not offer furniture rentals
