The Process for Designer Home Renovations & What to Expect:
Designing a space should feel exciting – not overwhelming. This guide walks you through our interior design process, step by step, so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish. Whether you’re working on a whole home renovation or a décor makeover (see our service offerings), our goal is to make the journey smooth, creative and enjoyable.
Think of this as your behind-the-scenes look at how we bring your ideas to life – from the first conversation to the finishing touches. Every homeowner is different and has their own unique eye for design and different goals, objectives and budgets. Rather than try to sell you on a standard design, we are here to guide and collaborate with you to create your dream look for your space.
