What a Design Consultation Includes

Professional Guidance Without Full-Service Commitment

A design consultation is ideal for homeowners who want direction, reassurance, and expert input – but prefer to manage their project independently.

During a dedicated 90-minute in-person or virtual session, we assess your space, discuss your goals, and provide practical recommendations tailored to your home and lifestyle. Whether you’re selecting finishes, refining a layout, choosing paint colors, or planning furniture placement, you’ll leave with a clearer vision and an actionable plan.

This service is perfect for DIY homeowners, pre-construction planning, smaller refresh projects, or anyone wanting professional confirmation before making important decisions.

Your Consultation May Include:

  • Space assessment and layout recommendations
  • Material and finish direction
  • Color palette guidance
  • Furniture and lighting suggestions
  • Priority list and action plan
  • Follow-up summary document

How It Works

Our design consultation process is intentionally simple. The goal is to provide meaningful insight in a focused timeframe – so you walk away with clarity and confidence.

Step 1: Pre-Session Preparation

Before your consultation, we gather basic information about your space, goals, and any specific challenges you’re facing. This ensures our time together is productive and focused.

You’ll Provide:

  • Photos or measurements (if available)
  • Description of your goals
  • Budget range (if applicable)
  • Specific questions or concerns

Timeline: Scheduled in advance of session

Step 2: 90-Minute Consultation Session

During the session, we walk through your space together – either in person or virtually. We evaluate layout, flow, lighting, color, and finish opportunities while discussing practical solutions aligned with your vision and budget. This is a collaborative working session, giving you real-time feedback and professional insight.

You’ll Receive:

  • Immediate design recommendations
  • Layout suggestions
  • Material and color direction
  • Furniture placement advice
  • Answers to your most pressing questions

Timeline: 90 minutes

Step 3: Follow-Up Summary & Action Plan

After the consultation, you’ll receive a written summary outlining the key recommendations discussed. This document becomes your roadmap moving forward.

You’ll Receive:

  • Clear summary of recommendations
  • Priority list for next steps
  • Suggested resources or product direction
  • Guidance for implementation

Timeline: Delivered after session

Step 4: Optional Ongoing Support

If you decide you’d like additional guidance after implementing your plan, you can book follow-up consultations or explore renovation support services. There is no obligation – simply the flexibility to scale as needed.

You’ll Receive:

  • Access to continued professional guidance
  • Optional follow-up sessions
  • Clarity on next-level services if desired

Timeline: As needed
