Commercial Design

The Design Process

From inspiration to design to material selection, we can work with your business to bring your ideal space a reality. Whatever your needs, we will custom tailor a design package for you that can be implemented at your own pace. The end result is a beautiful, functional space with carefully thought-out details.

Step 1: Gathering Information

  • E-Design Questionnaire - To help us create your dream space, you'll receive a questionnaire that helps us understand your goals, lifesteyle, and budget. 

  • Inspiration Images -  Upload inspiration images, or a link to your pinterest board, so we can align our design with your vision for the space. 

  • Photos -  Since we can’t be there with you, we need you to be our eyes. Use our Photo Guide to take photos of your space, along with a brief walkthrough video.

  • Dimensions -  We need basic measurements of your room, along with more detailed ones. It sounds scary, but it’s not! You'll receive our Measuring Guide which makes it a breeze. Make sure to double check your measurements to ensure their accuracy!

Step 2: Phone Consultation

Once we receive your information, together, we will review your space, inspiration images, and answer any questions you might have via Zoom.

Step 3: The Vision 

After our conversation, our team will work on a space plan and vision board that communicates the design concept. Before we proceed with fine-tuning, we want to make sure we’re on the right track. You’ll receive your design concept within 2 weeks. This gives you a chance to make any modifications you deem necessary.  You'll have 72 hours to reply with your feedback. 

Step 4: The Design

We will make necessary revisions and work on developing your design. Our team will select furnishings, finishes and fixtures based on your completed questionnaire. Once our selections are made, we will create a rendered 3D model of your room!

Step 5: The Presentation

After the heavy-duty design work is done, you will receive a comprehensive design plan from our team allowing you to execute the project your own pace. Our design plan includes the following:

  • Dimensioned floorplan showing location of furniture and/or casework.
     

  • Mood Board showing products, fixtures and finishes we're recommending for your space.
     

  • 3D Renderings of your room so you can see exactly what the design will look like!
     

  • Curated Pinterest board of suggested products
     

  • Customized shopping list with pricing
     

  • "Getting Started Guide" with industry tips and tricks from our team

Step 6: Wrap Up

We offer one round of changes to tweak the design in the way that you see fit. Changes MUST be included in one email only. Additional changes will be billed at our hourly rate.
