Full Scale Interior Design

Serving clients on-site in the Adirondack Coast and High Peaks region of Upstate New York, and beyond.

We absolutely LOVE creating meticulously personalized interiors through timeless design, refreshingly modern yet elegant decoration, and extremely close attention to detail. From concept to completion we’ll combine your aesthetic with our knowledge of form and function, architectural details, space planning, furniture, finishes, fabric, paint, etc. before styling it with the perfect finishing touches (including your heirloom pieces) to elevate the design. Our interior design process that has been carefully crafted ensures your project runs seamlessly- so you know what to expect every step of the way. Our streamlined process allows for clearly defined deliverables… like floor plans, concept boards, an exciting design presentation with optional photorealistic 3D renderings and VR walk throughs, stellar to the trade product selections and a detailed design schedule that lets you know exactly when to expect those deliverables, and our meeting times during your project. You will receive weekly status reports on the progress of your project so you are always in the loop.

Our Design Process:
 

Phase 1 

INITIAL CONSULTATION

After our phone call to initially discuss your project and answer any questions you may have about working together, we begin by having a complimentary in-person consultation with you. During this time we will work together to assess your specific design needs, discuss your priorities, and develop a game plan. During this Initial Consultation we will discuss:

  • What your goals and dreams are for the project

  • What is, or isn’t working for you currently in your home

  • How the space may not be functioning at its full capacity

  • Recommendations on which areas to focus on that will give you the most return on your investment

During this meeting I will be doing a lot of listening, and asking questions to ensure I have a thorough understanding of your family's needs. As well as the scope of the project, we’ll discuss timeline and budget to make sure those realistically align with what you’d like to accomplish. After all imperative information is gathered, a customized design proposal will be created for you. This will give you a very clear description of the design investment necessary for your project. Upon approval, you’ll receive a contract and invoice to officially confirm your spot on our design calendar.

Phase 2

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

When we’ve reached the conceptual design phase, we’ll schedule an in home kickoff meeting to get to know you even better, take pictures, measurements and catalog any existing furniture you’ll be keeping. This is a great time to have inspiration images on hand! Pinterest and Houzz are excellent resources for this. At the end of this Phase you can expect to have: 

  • A comprehensive timeline of your project that provides you with every detail. 

  • A customized layout with dimensions of furnishing items and/or Build/Reno selections that are scaled perfectly for your home and ideal placement.

  • Design Concept Boards that illustrate the vibe desired for your space. 

  • A detailed list of everything that needs to be chosen for the project! From sofas, to rugs, built-ins, plumbing fixtures, lighting and accessories... we map out everything we need to bring the design vision to life.

In tandem with planning the layout, creating conceptual design boards are a critical step in the process. Once approved by you, these concepts become our litmus test for other selections chosen for your project. Having these concepts helps ensure every item chosen is in alignment with the approved design concept.

Phase 3:

DETAILED DESIGN

The detailed design phase is where we really get down to business and begin to make your design concept a reality. At this time we pinpoint exact details, specific furnishings, fabrics, finishes, lighting and plumbing fixtures etc. We delve much deeper, beyond concepts determined in the conceptual design phase by ensuring all specific selections are perfectly suited for you and your space. We look at all the tiny details that help make the design- from beautiful pillows accompanied by their correct size and quality inserts, to perfect trim pieces and hardware for draperies, and fabric that will look and perform beautifully. We plan out every single detail. During this time we are taking into careful consideration your approved investment level (That we’ll have covered in the previous phase) as well as every design element before we present them to you. Before this phase is completed, every single last design detail is layed out for you in a detailed design presentation so you can see your cohesive, customized and unique design. If there is anything you feel the need to tweak, we do it here. Offering our clients a round of revisions gives them comfort that they are in ultimate control of their design. We are here to help deliver your vision, refined to the highest degree. At the end of this Phase is when you make the payment that enables the execution of your project. We also provide optional photorealistic 3D renderings using top notch software to give you an incredible visual of your new design!

Phase 4:

PROCUREMENT & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

This part of the design process is a very busy time. We work tirelessly behind the scenes to get all the items you approved ordered, and received for you. During the procurement and project management phase it may seem quiet over here but if you were to look behind the scenes we are tirelessly working to expedite your product orders. We are handling the numerous intricate details of purchase orders, as they require careful review. Through our project management software we carefully monitor progress, track shipments and deliveries in preparation for installation in your home on that highly anticipated “Install Day!” Issues sometimes arise but we handle all of that for you. You will NEVER have to be on the phone with a vendor or manufacturer. Our business processes really come into play here- While you may not see anything happening, we are zooming around the office handling orders, processing and fulfilment in preparation for the fifth, final and most exciting phase!

Phase 5:

INSTALLATION

This is it! Are you ready!? The installation Phase occurs over the course of one or more days, depending on the scope and size of your specific project. By this point we will already have scheduled and coordinated any installers or vendors (such as wallpaper hangers, carpenters, window treatment installers etc.) Large projects, like new construction and those requiring renovation/carpentry or paint and wall covering updates will take a period of time to complete, with installation day being geared toward furnishings and accessories. During installation day we are on site managing the entire process from beginning to end. It's hard to list every single process that goes into an installation day… but you can think of it as a carefully orchestrated production with many hands on deck, and Lianna giving tons of attention to the fine details that will make this final reveal breathtaking. When you arrive back home, we lead you into your brand new stunning space(s)... It can be extremely emotional (Just like you see on design shows) but you can count on us being right there with you laughing and happy crying too!

Executing your vision; refined to the highest degree, is our ultimate goal.
