HOW THE DESIGN SERVICE WORKS

STEP 1 - COMPLIMENTARY FREE DISCOVERY CALL to learn more about the White Glove Interior Design Service and what we can do for you.

STEP 2 – CONSULTATION MEETING which will take place comfortably in your home. During this meeting, we will thoroughly discuss your vision, project details, personal preferences, budget considerations, goals, choice of materials, desired aesthetics, timeline, and lifestyle needs. Bringing images of interiors you love can be very helpful to guide our discussion, but don’t worry if you don’t have any. Together, we will ensure that we achieve a home interior that truly reflects your favorite style and meets your expectations perfectly.

STEP 3 - DESIGN CONTRACT We will draft a detailed design contract outlining all the scopes and associated costs, which you will have the opportunity to carefully review ahead of our scheduled meeting. Once the design contract is fully agreed upon and signed off by both parties, we will require your deposit to officially commence the project. Following this, we will begin the process of taking precise measurements of your space. This measurement process typically takes approximately 1 to 3 hours, depending on the overall size of your project.

STEP 4 – SCHEMATIC DESIGN The concept phase of your design process begins. This phase involves creating a fully developed and detailed conceptual plan for your space. We will carefully incorporate all the information gathered from our initial consultation meeting, as well as the specific layout of your area. You will receive a comprehensive space plan, a thoughtfully designed concept board, a curated list of products that need to be sourced, an estimated timeline for the entire project, a detailed construction requirements list, and scheduled dates for future presentations. At the conclusion of this phase, we will organize a presentation meeting to review and discuss the proposed design in detail.

STEP 5 – DESIGN DEVELOPMENT We will begin our selections by carefully considering your budget alongside the approved concept. Every detail of your space will be thoughtfully taken into account, including furnishings, fabrics, finishes, lighting, fixtures, window treatments, and more. Additionally, we will handle all the necessary selections related to construction elements such as tile, flooring, and other materials. Once every item has been sourced, we will schedule a thorough presentation to review all choices together and make any necessary adjustments to ensure everything perfectly aligns with your vision.

Once all items have been thoroughly reviewed and approved by you, we will proceed to create detailed invoices for each of them. Following this, we will submit official purchase orders on your behalf as soon as payment has been successfully received. With every invoice, you will be sent two copies: one copy for you to sign as a confirmation of your approval and return to us, and another copy for you to retain securely for your own bookkeeping and record-keeping purposes. Please note that products will only be purchased directly once the payment has been received, whether by check or bank wire transfer.

STEP 6 – PROCUREMENT In this phase, we carefully create very detailed purchase orders for the specific items you have carefully chosen and approved. While no meetings are needed at this stage, a great deal of important activity is taking place behind the scenes in our studio. We are actively communicating and coordinating with our trusted vendors and manufacturers regarding your project. Additionally, we take full responsibility for scheduling and tracking all shipments or deliveries, thoroughly inspecting them for any damage, and meticulously preparing everything to ensure a smooth and successful installation process.

STEP 7 - CONTRACTOR SUPERVISION AND BIDDING SERVICE We will find the right contractor for you to ensure your project runs smoothly. While we prefer to collaborate with our trusted network of professionals, we are also happy to work with a contractor you choose yourself. Throughout the process, we will communicate closely with the contractor about design preferences, budget constraints, and the project timeline. Additionally, we will visit the site regularly to monitor progress and ensure everything is on track.

STEP 8 – INSTALLATION DAY During this important phase, you will truly witness our magic unfold, as your house gradually transforms into the beautiful home you have always dreamed of! We highly recommend that you spend the day away from the property, allowing yourself to be fully ready and excited for the big reveal at the end of the day. This also gives our dedicated team the time they need to complete the project efficiently and thoroughly, so you don’t have to worry about any disruptions or noise while the work is being done.

FINALLY, THE BIG REVEAL! Time to enjoy your new interior.
