Why Custom Design is so popular?

Have you ever felt like your home didn’t quite feel ‘finished’?

Did you purchase furnishings in the past without looking at the full picture, only to realize later that you’ve wasted money on items that don’t work together because of their scale, colour and style?

You are not alone! Your home is likely your biggest investment, so why take risks, waste time and spend more money than you need to? Let us help you make sure you do it right the first time.

Custom Design and Project Management is our most popular service. This is perfect for you if getting professional advice, saving time and money, as well as feeling confident with a well thought out plan is important to you.   

We take care of everything for you when curating a custom design for your home. From room layouts and selecting the best pieces for your lifestyle to procurement and the exciting, big reveal day, we oversee and manage your project from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.  

You will feel confident knowing you will get the look you desire and that every little detail is taken care of for you.

Are we involved in the design process or is it out of our control once we hire your services?

Design projects are very much a collaborative process.  The ‘getting to know you’ phase at the start of the project allows us to understand your needs, your lifestyle & your investment amount.  We ask a lot of questions and discuss in depth your requirements for each space.  

While working together, we want to build a partnership with you & establish trust. Our working relationship with you is extremely important to us.  

We ask that you kindly allow us to do what we do best and let us curate an entire custom design based on our detailed assessment in the early stages of our process. At the end of Phase 1, after our presentation meeting, you will have the final say on all decisions before any orders are placed or any trades work gets underway. It is in Phase 2, the implementation part of the process, that we initiate the design plans after getting approval from you, reviewing our contract and receiving payment for items and further design services to see your project through to the big reveal day!

How much of an investment amount can we anticipate in terms of hiring your services?

The size of your project and the scope of work will be key factors in determining the investment amount needed. Our Custom Design and Project Management services start from $2500 per room for Phase 1.

On average, you can expect to invest 20% to 25% of the overall cost of the project for our services.  For example, if the cost to furnish a living room is estimated at $25,000, the total fee for design services is projected to be around $5000 to $6250.  Note: Projects that require millwork designs, or electrical detail start from $8000 because of the extra work involved to liaise with trades, attend more site visits, etc.

Please note that this is an estimation and various factors will depend on the final scope and how swift you are at making decisions.  

It is imperative to note that we average minimal revisions, because of our extensive front-end process. We ask that you understand that each change or alteration may affect other aspects of the design, which in turn could increase the time needed to ensure the overall plans are not compromised.  

Clients who put their trust in us receive the best results at the most cost-effective price point.

Do you get trade pricing and if so, do you pass this along to us as your clients?

It’s important to us that you understand the value in hiring us for this elite service is that we will take care of every single detail from start to finish. Life is busy. Redesigning a home can cause anxiety and be very time consuming for those unfamiliar with all that is involved.

We confidently stand by our reputation as an award-winning company looking out for our clients best interests, providing outstanding service that minimizes the overwhelming and stressful feelings that often arise for homeowners who undertake an interior design project on their own.

We prevent you from making costly mistakes. We take care of all the procurement, purchasing and installation, working closely with our trusted suppliers and reputable trades.

While we regularly attend trade shows and compare the pricing of various suppliers, we cannot guarantee the lowest price. Our prices are competitive without compromising quality & clients hire us for peace of mind and to let us do what we do best because we do this every day.

We are excited! How do we get started?
