Residential Interior Design Process

Discovery:

Phase One

myideas interiors

A free Discover Call is an initial conversation between an Myideas Interior Studio and

a prospective client (you), aimed at assessing our compatibility for collaboration. This preliminary interaction serves as an essential step in the design process, establishing the foundation for our potential working relationship.

During this call, the we will discuss your vision, budget, and timeline for the project. It provides an opportunity for our design studio to showcase our expertise and style while gaining a deeper understanding of your needs and preferences. The conversation is also a chance for you to ask questions and evaluate if our design studio’s approach aligns with your expectations. Ultimately, a successful discovery call sets the tone for a productive and harmonious partnership, ensuring that both parties are aligned in their goals and expectations moving forward.

Questionnaire:

Initial Questionnaire

To proceed following the Initial Discovery Call, we will dive deeper into understanding you and your project. This will involve completing a detailed Initial Questionnaire covering your preferred design style, inspirations, likes and dislikes, as well as key factors such as your budget, timeline, functionality, and requirements for the intended space. If possible, I will ask for a floor plan and photos to initiate a price ESTIMATE based on the information provided.

Note:

If the client does not have a prepared floor plan for project pricing, we can offer a measurement home consultation at a rate of $165.00 per hour, with a minimum requirement of 2 hours to ensure accuracy. The measured floor plan will be provided to the client for any future reference.

Measurements: We will take measurements of the room's height, width, and depth.
Notes: We will document the locations of windows, doors, outlets, and any other obstructions.

Home Consultation

Designer Fee Review:

Shortly after the completion of the Initial Questionnaire, we will send you an Interior Design Project Fee proposal via email. This proposal will detail the basic services we will provide for your space, clearly outlining the design goals and the associated fee structure. Once you approve the proposal and we receive the Designer Retainer, we will proceed to phase two of the design process.

Phase Two

This visit will enable us to become acquainted with the environment, appreciate its unique characteristics, and identify any potential challenges or opportunities. Additionally, we will engage in a detailed discussion about your vision, preferences, and any specific requirements you may have.
