Our Process
Are you wondering what the typical phases of an interior design project can look like from start to finish?
Here is an outline of our design process from the moment we meet and assess your space to the day we turn your newly designed home back over to you for a lifetime of enjoyment.
In Home Consultation
This is our first chance to get to know you. It’s one of the most important parts of the design process, a chance for both client and designer to see if we are a good fit. We spend up to 2 hrs walking through the project with you discussing the scope or work, timeline, budget, and most importantly your vision. From there we will create a customized Design Agreement based on your needs.
Preliminary Design Development
Once you give us the green light our first step is to begin building a vision. We work on developing possible floor plans and layouts as well as a mood board. We like to assign you homework in this phase to share any inspiration photos or other images you have so we can develop this vision together. There are some onsite visits in this phase to walk our team through and gather measurements, photos, and any other details we need.
Interior Design Drawings/Construction Design Package
This is where we get into the heart of it all.
The details and design development will now be captured in formal documents. We spend substantial design time creating construction drawings, material schedules, and design presentations including 3D renderings. These documents are the building blocks for a successful project.
Furniture Budget & Design Development
Once construction is launched we shift gears and focus on the soft goods. It is important that we work closely with our clients to develop an investment threshold for each phase. Taking the same approach as we did in Phase 1 we continue to develop the overall design of your interior space. Everything from upholstery, area rugs, window treatments, to the art and accessories that add the finishing touches. Each piece is curated meticulously with overall vision and aesthetics in mind.
Project Management & Procurement
The last piece to the puzzle. Selections have been made, designs have been developed, and now the vision needs to be implemented. The L Design team is with you through every step of the process. From onsite construction meetings and project management to product procurement, and finally Installation. We handle all logistics and oversight so that you feel confident that your home will be exactly what you envisioned.
Installation
At this phase we love to send you away and work our magic! Over the course of the project we build a close relationship with you and our team appreciates the amount of trust it takes to allow someone to design your home on such a personal level. All of the furnishings, art, and accessories have been received and inspected in the months leading up to install. Now, all hands are on deck for one to two weeks of delivery. With a lot of moving parts the final vision comes together like a choreographed dance. Queue Montell Jordan, This Is How We Do It!
