Getting Started
Let us help.
Here are some tried and true tips for fostering a stress free design project. Already know it all? – skip to the form below.
Communication
Good communication between both parties is key. Pretend you are hiring a hairdresser or therapist (sometimes the same thing).
Preparedness
Be prepared. Have an idea of what room(s) you want to do and what’s not working with the current space.
Trust
Build trust from the start. Don’t hold back! Be honest about your goals and expectations. Especially in the beginning, don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Information
Be specific with the details. Do you eat in front of the TV? Brush your teeth in the shower? There’s no such thing as too much information.
Success
Plan for success. It is much better to have one completed room than three half finished rooms. If the budget doesn’t allow for the complete project to happen at once your designer can work with you on a timeline.
To start the conversation about your design project please complete the form below. We’ll follow up via email to schedule a phone call so we can learn more about your project, share more details about our process, and answer any questions you have. We look forward to hearing from you.
