Design Services - Interior Design
Design (di zin') - defined as the arrangement of parts, details, form, color, etc. so as to produce a complete and artistic unit. Once I feel that my Client understands the scope of the project, the design phase begins. As your Designer I will help you create a complete a new look. I will measure and prepare room layouts for the rooms involved, creating floor plans and elevations to be used as a basis for furniture, lighting, and electrical work. It's very important to go to the Clients' home or office to see exactly how they live and work. In the Design process, I measure and document furnishings that my Clients want to work with in the project. The fear that most Clients have is that the Designer will discard all their items and start over. I try to use what Clients have whenever possible.
Once I know the scale of the chairs, tables, sofa, and so on, I can start to think about color, styles and patterns and how I can weave them into another. The most exciting part of the design process is deciding on the style of the room based on the Clients preferences, and their budget. I can incorporate styles which include but are not limited to art deco, traditional, contemporary, and antiques. After the style is established, I can decide on accessories, including custom bedding, rugs, towels, and hardware. Window treatments are also important to the overall look, which may include shutters, upscale window coverings, and draperies.
With the perfect wall coverings, including faux finishes, wallpapers, or paint, I can set the ambiance of the room. To complete the look, floor coverings which include carpet, bamboo, cork, natural stones, and tiles are added to the final weave. The Design process usually takes a few weeks, and when the research is complete, I will make a final presentation to my Client that includes different design choices in regard to finishes, fabrics, photos of potential furniture and fixtures, and a estimated cost of the project. After the client approves the design plan, I begin the process of overseeing your project! From the early stages, I can help to ensure maximum comfort and utility for your money. The solution to many design problems is often the choice of color and room arrangement, not buying new things.
