The process
Step 1: Discovery call
We’ll discuss (virtually or in-person) your needs & budget
Needs: Do you want to furnish your entire home or just a room or two? Do you need an entire decorating plan from sheets to shades or finishing touches on an existing space?
Budget: how much do you want to spend? We’ll discuss your needs and fee breakdowns so that we can set clear expectations.
Function: I’ll get personal here. Your home should be useful to you, not simply pretty to look at. We’ll discuss multi-functional space ideas, comfort needs, and more. Some questions include: what is each room used for? How do you live day-to-day? Do you work from home? Do you prefer to eat in the kitchen or at a table? Do you have people over? Do you watch movies nightly? Do you have friends or family come to visit from out of town often? Maybe you need a guest bedroom or a shared office/guest room space. Are your closets overflowing? Maybe you need more storage. Are you planning to have children soon? Maybe we can create a flex nook in a bedroom or landing.
Sentimental: make sure you get clear about what is sentimental to you (this could be a rug that used to be in your parents’ home, a vase that your grandmother gave you, or a wish to set up a comfy chair next to a window so you could read there like you used to at your family friend’s house growing up.)
Bring 1-5 inspiration images: rooms, style, designers, or vibe that you like! Anything!
Step 2: Measurements
I’ll come over and measure everything.
We’ll go through existing furniture and decor and determine what will go immediately.
We’ll again discuss functional needs for each room
Step 3: Layouts & Mood Boards
Armed with measurements and the information gleaned from our discussions around need and aesthetic, I’ll create a “map” of each room with an ideal layout of major furniture items that combines design and function.
I’ll also create mood boards with color schemes and initial furniture/decor curation. (The first iteration will be a combination of vibe, inspiration images, and some actual furniture ideas.)
You send back feedback. What do you like? Not like? What do you wish to see more? Send me more images if needed.
Step 4: Item Lists
I’ll create adjusted mood boards & room layouts based on feedback
Updated moodboards will include actual curated furniture pieces
I’ll review “big ticket” item purchases with you: couches, beds, rugs, and curtains/blinds.
We’ll review the budget again.
You’ll provide feedback.
Step 5: Final Adjustments & Ordering
Based on feedback, I’ll send over a final Mood Board, a final Layout, and a final Furniture Order List.
A portion of the budget will be set aside for smaller accessory items and details that I will curate during the final process / move in.
Step 6: Move In & Finishing Touches
Depending on delivery dates, this could take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of months. As items are delivered, I’ll be there to receive them and arrange.
You enjoy your new space!!!!
