What to expect when you hire a Designer

December 4, 2023

Hey there! If you're thinking about embarking on an interior design project, it's important to know what to expect. So, let me break it down for you.


The first step is an initial consultation with your designer. During this meeting, we'll discuss your project goals, budget, and timeline. This is your chance to share all your ideas, inspirations, and even your dislikes. I'll also take measurements and assess the space to better understand its potential

Based on the information gathered during the consultation, I'll create a concept that captures your vision. This might include mood boards, color palettes, and sketches to help you visualize the proposed design. You'll have the opportunity to provide feedback and collaborate with me to refine the concept.

Once the concept is finalized, I'll start bringing the design to life. This could involve sourcing furniture, fabrics, and accessories, as well as coordinating with contractors and suppliers. Throughout this phase, I'll keep you informed and involved to ensure that the project stays on track and meets your expectations. And if construction is part of the process, be prepared for some dust and chaos while we work our magic!

Finally, we'll have the big reveal! This is the exciting moment when you get to see your transformed space for the first time. It's an unforgettable moment, and I'll be there to make any final adjustments or tweaks to ensure your complete satisfaction. 


So, are you ready to start your design journey? Let's do this!
