Full-service interior design consists of three major phases:
- Conceptual Design
- Detailed Design
- Purchasing and Execution
Our full-service approach allows us to manage projects from initial concept through to completion, designing your home down to the final detail. It is our job to take care of every single major and minute design detail that turns a house into a home.
The Conceptual Design Phase takes approximately 6-8 weeks and includes the following design services:
- We assess the current project space, take measurements and photos, and document any items that will be staying.
- Design the ideal floor plan to ensure the best possible layout for the project.
- Create inspiration board(s) to communicate what we envision for the project.
- Determine initial selections to confirm the design direction.
- Create a furnishings investment estimate to capture the elements that will be needed to make the project a reality, from furnishings to trades.
- Conduct “Trade Day” at your home. This is where we consult with our trades and vendors on site to review the project concepts and take detailed measurements in order to receive accurate quotes. (It is imperative to be on site with the vendors to discuss obstacles and options at the outset).
Conceptual Design includes the following:
- Floor plan(s)
- Inspiration board(s)
- Limited Initial selections
- Updated furnishings investment estimate for approval
- During this phase, we will confirm the design direction, layout, and furnishings investment estimate of the project, with one revision offered. The one allowed revision will add time onto this phase depending on the scale of the revision.
The Detailed Design Phase takes approximately 8 weeks, and consists of the following design services:
- Selection of each item according to design direction, furnishings investment estimate, and floor plan(s)
- Procurement of written quotes from all trades and vendors
- Completion of selections in accordance with approved inspiration boards and initial selections
- Finalizing the approved floor plan(s) with actual selections
- Drawing relevant elevations of the space
- Completing any custom piece drawings as needed
- Presentation preparation to communicate the design
- Confirming the actual numbers against the approved furnishings investment estimate
Detailed Design includes the following:
- Inspiration board(s)
- Floor plan(s), elevation(s), and relevant custom drawings
- Proposal of each item for your approval, with all details to confirm orders and the coordinating samples
- Furnishings investment estimate updated with actual costs
The Purchasing and Execution Phase is time dependent on the scope of the project and the contractor’s schedule.
Purchasing and Implementation Phase Includes:
- Placing orders & assessing delivery times
- Complete the purchasing of goods on your behalf
- Clarify and communicate estimated delivery times
- Manage open orders by efficiently tracking goods
- Prepare the construction & installation timeline
Construction
- Oversee the construction and installation timeline
- Coordinate project logistics with contractors and vendors
- Provide site checks for project accuracy
Installation

- On site presence during deliveries and installations, where applicable
Furniture Installation and Styling
- Provide turnkey furniture installation, which means that all of the furnishings are delivered at one time, once any construction is complete
- Plan and execute the styling process
- Style and photograph the completed project, where applicable
The Reveal
- Provide documentation that supports the care and maintenance of your newly completed project
- Identify any deficiencies that we’ve noted during installation in the format of a project punch list
- Present the styling price list for each item installed, where applicable
- Confirm what you want to keep or return from the styling price list, where applicable
- Pick up and return any items identified to be returned, where applicable

As every project is different, Andrea will meet with you and assess the scope of work, then determine the design fee accordingly. Full-service interior design is a flat design fee per project.
Schedule your complimentary 30 minute Discovery Call above by clicking on the "Full Service Design" button. Our Founder and Principal Designer, Andrea Durcik, will talk through your project with you and answer any questions you have, ultimately helping you determine if our Full Service Design offering is right for you.
You can also schedule a 2-hour Virtual Consultation if you prefer to talk through specific design elements and receive targeted design advice and recommendations during the call.
Virtual Design
This package is perfect for living rooms, family rooms, great rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms (master, kids, or guest), nurseries, home offices and outdoor living spaces.
Bathrooms & kitchens will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If you have a bathroom or kitchen you need help with contact me and we’ll discuss how we can work together!
The number of pieces we can incorporate into your new design will depend upon what pieces those are, and what your style desires are for your new space. When you complete our questionnaire you will submit photos & measurements of any pieces you would like to have included in your new design, along with inspiration photos for your room. We will then discuss & determine with you which pieces we can incorporate.
The steps in our Virtual Design process have been carefully developed to ensure project success. The inspiration images are an imperative part of ensuring that we are both on the same page with the design direction. We cannot begin your design until all of your design components have been submitted, which includes your inspiration images. Some great resources for starting your inspiration search are Pinterest, Houzz, Magazine/Blog/Article Clippings, Instagram.
You choose your own timeline, however we strongly recommend that you start purchasing and installing your project as soon as you receive your final design packet. Furniture and finishes are subject to change quickly, therefore the availability of them may only be for a certain length of time. We wouldn't want you to lose out on the perfect piece you love because you may have waited too long to purchase and the item is no longer available. Also, fun bonus - the sooner you finish your beautiful new space, the sooner you have it to enjoy and love!
We recommend our 2-hour Virtual Consultation service if you do not have a full room to design and just need help with a few items.
We recommend you start with our 2-hour Virtual Consultation service and our founder & principal designer, Andrea Durcik, will help you figure out the best plan for your transformation process.
We are delighted to work with clients all over the world. However, please keep in mind that we source from vendors and retailers who we know can deliver within the U.S. As a result, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that all products we source can be shipped internationally. For any products we source for your designs that can be delivered globally, the shipping costs may be higher, and there may be customs or foreign transaction fees associated with these purchases. So please make sure to keep all that in mind when budgeting for your project.
