Karen has great taste, of course, and most important has an instinctual feeling for the taste and desires of her clients. She knew exactly what look I wanted for my kitchen and combined that design concept with total functionality. And she was fun and easy to work with. A great experience!

The Ultimate Guide to Space Planning
Having difficulty starting your interior design project but not ready to hire a designer yet?
Grab your free copy now to help avoid mistakes, save time, and reduce stress as I guide you step by step through the space plan process with real life examples.
We make recommendations for the best function, flow. and aesthetics of your interior based on your requirements and wishes. We also help you uncover your vision, unique design style, and a color scheme to create a cohesive design concept that flows with both your aesthetic and architecture.
Next, we conduct a trade day to source products and get estimates of furnishings costs from our highly vetted team of experts that may include contractors, sub-contractors, architects, upholstery/pillow/drapery work rooms, wholesale showrooms (furniture/flooring/rugs, window/wall coverings, etc.) and/or custom cabinet makers needed to complete your interior design concept.
This phase helps us confirm your scope of work, layout, investment estimate, and aesthetic direction.
2. Detailed Design Phase and Deliverables
During this phase we finalize the conceptual interior design and provide deliverables to help you grasp the design concept. We ensure materials chosen coordinate beautifully together with your home, are in budget, and on time, while managing all the complexities of the project. We can also space plan your room(s), and specify cabinetry, tile, flooring, appliances, plumbing, furniture, lighting, window/wall coverings, and/or other finishes needed to complete your project. This phase may include a lighting plan, tile layout/design, door/window/wall locations, ceiling design, fireplace design, and more.
Our interior design firm helps create a viable timetable for project completion based on the needs and availability of selected resources. We also plan for minimal disruption of your life by creating a schedule that helps ensure the finishes, furnishings, custom cabinetry, and more is designed and ordered before construction begins along with ensuring you still have options for cooking or bathing, when possible.
3. Project Management, Purchasing, and Installation
During this phase our firm will focus on the big picture and small details of your interior design project. These tasks can include purchasing, creating work orders, tracking products, coordinating receiving, handling damage issues, white glove delivery, providing assistance with procuring contractors/vendors, overseeing the design portion of the project, coordinating work schedules, help keeping vendors/contractors on schedule, attending weekly construction meetings or site walkthroughs, handling change management, resolving construction issues, delays in product delivery, and replacing missing/broken products.
