The Consultation
Our
initial consultation fee is $100, with most consultations lasting between one
and three hours, depending upon the scope of the project. The consultation
takes place in the client’s home, and is the time for the client to communicate
what they would like to accomplish in their home. The designer will listen,
question and take notes in order to create the dialogue that is an important
factor in understanding the ideas the client has in mind for their home. The
designer will ask about your color preferences, fabric, furniture taste and
accessories and discuss your current furnishings and how best to utilize them. Measurements
and photos may be taken at this time. During this initial visit, the designer
and client will discuss specific priorities, time frames and budget. Then the
designer will move on to the planning process.
The Planning ProcessThe designer begins to develop a plan suited to meet the client’s expectations and goals. Fabric selection, finishes, furniture samples and color are gathered and incorporated into the prepared placement and floor plan. At this time, the client is brought back into the process to review the designer’s selections. This is the time to discuss possible changes and adjustments to the overall plan in order to ensure that the client’s expectations are being addressed.
The Ordering Process
When the
client agrees upon the plan, a 50% non-refundable payment of the contract
initiates the ordering process.
Prior to
delivery/installation, the remaining balance from the approved “Contract”
invoices and the balance on any authorized changes are due. The designer
notifies the client of this amount in advance, so these amounts can be
reconciled. The client submits the payment to their designer at least one week
before their installation day.
Installation
Additional
items that may be needed to “complete” the look of the finished areas are
placed in the home during the installation and a detailed list of these items
is provided to the client on the day of the Install. These invoices are called
“Install” invoices and are often equal to half of the value of the client’s
“Contract” invoices.However, this
amount is relative to many factors, including the amount of appropriate
furniture and accessories already in the client’s possession. The client is not
obligated to purchase any of the “Install” items. The client has two calendar
days to review these items and notify the designer of those items they wish to
purchase.Payment of these items is due within
seven calendar days.
