Interior Design Services

The options

​​Whether you need to have some general design advice, some help with colors and/or floor plans, or picking out fixtures and furnishings, a brainstorming session may be all you need...   OR
​
Let's get your complete design plan together so that you have all you need to communicate with your own trades or those I recommend and you will have links to the furnishing items that you can purchase at your leisure...  OR

You say, "I just want someone to manage all the details and get my space completed with a white glove touch!" A full service project could be for you!


Option 1 - Brainstorm with your Designer
Brainstorming sessions are a great place to start!
When you need general interior design guidance, we can brainstorm to get your project flowing in the right direction.​​
Whether you need a new color scheme, a style assessment, help picking out furniture and finishes, advice on room layouts, or any other interior design question, a brainstorming session is often just what a homeowner (or renter!) needs to jump start their project or get over a hurdle or two on an existing project. You drive the questions and I supply my years of experience, designer eye, and problem solving skills to provide you with professional, personalized  advice.

How does this work?

We start with a discovery call, you fill out a short online questionnaire, we schedule an in-person visit or a virtual call, then it happens! Ask as many questions as you can within your 2 hour session.

Option 2 - Let Me Create the Plan for you
When you just need a plan, help is on the way!
A pulled together plan is sometimes all you need to put a room together on your own timeline as your budget allows.​
You struggle to put your ideas together in a way that will result in a cohesive, well designed room. You find it difficult to know where to place furniture so that the room functions for you, your family, and friends. You find it hard to incorporate colors you love. You are not sure what style direction to go without it becoming outdated in a few years.
I can help! I will guide you through my tried and true process resulting in 2D and 3D floor plans, style and color assessments, key design finishes and fixtures, furnishing links for you to purchase at your leisure, trade recommendations as needed, and more. You'll have all you need to get into the driver seat and complete your room with confidence. (We will cover the right side of the process wheel pictured with the black lettering with this option.)
Client testimonial "...Brenda's acumen at interior design is exceptional...she sees the potential and brings it to life! I would wholeheartedly recommend her services without reserve..."  Lu Barbeaux

How does this work?

After our discovery call, you will fill out an online questionnaire, then we will schedule a paid assessment session to ensure that this is just what you need and to gather information for me to put together a proposal for your design.

​Once you sign off on the proposal, 1/2 of the design fee will be due, then the fun can begin. We will schedule meetings to cover space planning, budget confirmation, and color and style assessments, Through all the meetings, I will ask many questions to get to know you and your needs for your home.  I will take you step by step through my process to make the most efficient use of your time.
  • Space planning will give you a floor plan, both 2D and 3D so you will be able to view your room at all angles.
  • We will use my budget calculator tools to ensure that the level of style and quality desired is reflected in the investment you want to make for your home and that the investment makes sense compared to the value of your home.
  • I have tools and activities designed to bring out your true color and style preferences. This part is the most fun and will guide the look and feel of your spaces.

I will design your space and source furniture, fixtures, and accessories to pull your room together based on all the information gathered to date. I will create a source list with links you will use to purchase items at your leisure.

The second 1/2 of the design fee is due prior to the design presentation. At the presentation I'll bring samples and your design binder which will you will use to complete the project. Many homeowners find this ideal so they can control the timing of trade work and purchases themselves.
  • You will be responsible for ordering, paying, receiving, and handling any returns if items are not to your liking.
  • I will source from a combination of retail websites and designer exclusive platforms to get you the unique look you hired me to produce. You will receive links to the items so you can purchase when you are ready.
  • I will create a paint schedule when needed that you can hand off to your painter so they can know the colors and sheens designed for you, and where to apply them within the space.​

I will provide you with recommendations for trades (painters, electricians, carpenters, general contractors, etc.) if needed. You can bring them in and show them the plan we put together. The plan is a HUGE communication tool to ensure the design you fell in love with is what you get in the end..

You will get all estimates I pulled from my trade sources based on my design. These are sight-unseen estimates to give you a ball park feel for the cost to complete your project as designed. 

What if you don't like it! This hasn't happened yet since I spend time getting to know you throughout your project and we made tweaks along the way as I listen to your feedback and recommend options. But if it does, I will provide one revision of the design to win you over.

Option 3 - The Plan and Much More!
Full Service Design
When you don't have time to manage your interior design project and are ready for a professional to take over to coordinate the trades, order your furniture, fixtures, and accessories, create your fantastic design plan perhaps with some custom designed items, then that's when you will want a full service design project.
Full Service Design will involve the entire process from the paid assessment through and including Install and Styling. This can include custom upholstery and/or window coverings, unique cabinetry, special wall treatments, and more.
Client testimonial "​Brenda was wonderful to work with! She spent time with my husband and I, determining what we liked, and then came up with a design we both loved... I highly recommend her for your next design project!" Lori Scarlett

How does this work?

The start of this is very much like Option 2, but takes the responsibility for completing your design off your shoulders and happily onto mine.

With remodeling and redecorating projects, you can always expect twists and turns along the way as the process unfolds, but I will be your advocate to ensure the design you signed off on is the design that you get in the end.
