INTERIOR DESIGN & CREATIVE STUDIO
Collaborative & e-Design Service
We believe that everyone deserves to have a beautiful, functional and comfortable home. Our homes should be our haven from the craziness of the world out there, and a place where our personal style is uniquely expressed.
​
Our Collaborative & e-Design Services are a great way to enlist the help of a professional Interior Designer if you are on a budget but still want great style. It is a great way to decorate in stages - one room at a time at your own pace, or if you are a DIY-er at heart and enjoy managing your own design project. These are a great way to take advantage of working with us for a fraction of the cost of our full service design projects. You get a comprehensive design plan that you can manage on your own. We take everything into consideration like how you live, who does the cooking, what features are important, how much storage you need, what your style is, what materials would you like to see, how much maintenance are you willing to do, and so much more.
We will give you everything you need to know to create a stunning result, including a furniture plan, color palette, a shopping list with direct clickable links giving you access to some of our trade only resources and thorough instructions for turning your dream interior into a reality.
​
We can approach this service in person(Collaborative) or strictly through online communications(e-Design).

After our In-Home Consultation or Virtual consultation, if you are located remotely, and you have decided that our Collaborative Design Service is the right fit for you, we will sign a contract with you and send our design questionnaire for you to complete.
​
The real work begins here. Just like our Full Service Design package, we will take the time to properly vet your project, take measurements, and come up with a detailed plan for you to implement on your own. This is a flexible service, the depth of detail we get into depends solely on what you require for your project. This process usually takes 6-8 weeks to complete.
​
You will be updated weekly on where we are at and what your accumulated billable hours are. We work hard to make sure that all our time is accurately accounted for and no time is wasted.
​
We will send you an email with what we call the Design Book. This will have all the plans, elevations, and layouts you requested, as well as clickable links to the items we sourced for you. These items, whether tile or furniture, will be ordered, purchased and received by you and are solely your responsibility.
​
We want you to succeed and love the space you are creating. The design book should have taken everything we discussed into account. If things on the project change and you need further help after this, we are available through blocks of time purchased in the On-Call Design Service.
A consultation is not included with the Collaborative or e-Design Service. You must book one before proceeding with this service. Keep in mind, the consultation is a working meeting and the information gathered there gets you that much farther ahead on your project.
-
The Collaborative Design Service will be billed at our regular hourly rate of $175. Payable bi-weekly. Flat fee rates are also available.
-
This is not intended to be an instant response service, so we still need to schedule time on our calendar to focus on your project - as much advanced notice as possible is required.
-
We communicate mainly by email for this service. If you have a piece you want considered for the room, It is best to send an email with either a link or picture (with dimensions) to the furniture pieces you are considering. We need this so we can research all pertinent information and track conversations accurately.
-
You are aware that the Collaborative Design Service is not like our typical design service, where we work with a list of qualified vendors and trades people. We are, in most cases, simply providing a plan based on our design expertise. We will not be responsible for any errors and omissions that occur from using this service.

Once the Design book has been delivered. All fees are to be paid in full on receipt of final copy.
