FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are you a furniture store or an interior design firm?
While we are both, the focus of our business is interior design. We use our showroom to showcase both the work of our designers and specially selected furniture, lamps, oil paintings, oriental rugs, and unique accessories that we offer. You may informally meet with an interior designer during a visit to the showroom, or you may set up an appointment for a more thorough consultation.
What can I expect from an interior designer?
Whether you need to select a single piece of furniture or want to furnish your entire home, you can expect your interior designer to listen to you and help you identify your needs, then work to meet your needs and stay within your budget. Your designer can assist you with materials selections and space planning in the early stages of building a new home, or addition, and avoid costly changes. This will also assure continuity in design and stylization.
Is it expensive to work with a designer?
The scope of the services needed will determine the design fee for your project; however, with some projects the fee for design may be minimal or even complimentary. While such design may be an additional cost, they also are an investment in your home and in your personal satisfaction. By utilizing a designer's experience, training and resources you can minimize errors and maximize your enjoyment of the end result.
How much do you charge to come to my home?
In most cases, it is critically important for a designer to meet with you in your home to gain a feel for the scope of the project and understand your personal style and needs. The assessment is a key factor in developing a budget and design proposal. The initial in-home consultation is complimentary.
What if I plan to use some of my existing furnishings?
This is a common practice. During your initial in-home consultation, your designer will take note of those items you wish to use in your project. This will help assure there is continuity in design and style.
