A home should narrate a love story...
Many individuals believe that the role of an interior designer is confined to enhancing visual appeal. While the end result is indeed visually pleasing, numerous factors contribute to the overall project.
The fees of an interior designer encompass not only the invested time but also intellectual property and design expertise.
Nonetheless, our work extends well beyond aesthetics. A proficient interior designer delves into the desires, needs, and lifestyle of clients. They envision the space, tailor it to specific requirements, and meticulously plan and execute that vision to ensure the rooms are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It's akin to selecting a pair of shoes: they may be beautiful, but without comfort, appreciation is limited.
A designer harmonizes the client's aesthetic preferences with their lifestyle, collaborating with the architectural elements of the home, including addressing practical considerations such as the placement of electrical outlets and cables.
It's crucial to note that, while juggling these details, a skilled designer collaborates closely with trusted artisans, vendors, and contractors to bring the design concept to fruition.
Here's a succinct overview of what our "Design" service fees encompass:
Budget Analysis: Assisting clients in defining a realistic budget and offering guidance on necessary financial investments.
Design: Our team scrutinizes overarching ideas, focusing on the final vision, which includes crafting custom solutions, furniture layout, color palette, and distinctive features.
Sales Day: Meeting with contractors on-site to discuss details and prepare bids, essential for both complete renovations and precise measurements for drapery work.
Space Planning: Precisely measuring all rooms to prevent costly errors, ensuring that the chosen furniture is appropriately sized from the outset.
Complete Selections: Ordering samples of fabrics, rugs, tiles, etc., and narrowing down an initial selection from 500 to 25-50 for a comprehensive design.
Product Sourcing: A meticulous process of verifying dimensions, color, finish, availability, price, and shipping terms for each component.
Creation of Elevation and Rendering: Providing images to confirm or adjust initial design details, aiding the client in visualizing the proposed design.
Samples: Collecting samples of selections to enable customers to touch and feel materials in our studio before making purchasing decisions.
By engaging an interior designer, you not only enjoy curated aesthetics but also benefit from meticulous planning and professional execution, fully justifying the associated costs.
