Your complimentary initial consultation is where your licensed professional Interior Designer will, simply put, get to know you, your ideas and your goals for this project. What do you truly want to do with this space?
You and your designer will work closely together until the completion of your project, so this time fosters a comfortable working relationship. You designer is gathering precious information through questioning and conversation. Not only to discover just what you like and don’t like in design, but also how we can make the space truly enjoyable for you.
We really believe the right design can be life enhancing. From trends to tradition, location to historical detail. We will sketch, test, daydream, mine, investigate, research and develop to arrive at an authentic creative direction and ultimately give you, a deeply personal feel to your design.
Once we have our direction, we will then set goals, discuss budget and deadlines. We work hard to insure our solutions are fully developed and considered, all while accomplishing the vision you have in mind.
