Step 1
Initial Contact
The initial email you send us or phone call you make to us is a great opportunity for us to learn a bit about your project and what you are hoping to achieve. It is somewhat of an interview process, where you are assessing if we are the right fit for your project, as well as, our assessment of whether your project is right for our design boutique. We pride ourselves on being flexible and working with all design styles, different budget ranges, and different personalities. Of course you are welcome to book a free 30 minute discovery call where we dig a bit deeper into your vision for your project.

Phase 1
The Initial Consultation
Every project begins with The Initial Consultation, which is an in-home consultation for up to 2-hours. During this time we will discuss initial thoughts and ideas, provide feedback and suggestions, and walk-through each room to determine your style and how you live. The goal of the consultation is to establish a scope of work for your project. It is an information filled session where we provide you with our best ideas and expert insights for your project. This is why we ask for a fee to cover the time and expertise we invest in this step. We also take this time to talk about the design process and what to expect when working with us. All of our design advice happens on-site verbally.
The Initial Consultation fee is $495 + HST
Following the Initial Consultation if you would like to initiate the process of working together on your project, our team puts together a ‘Design Fee Estimate Proposal’ based on the scope of work discussed at the in-home consultation. This document details the scope of work for the entire project, our design intent and goals, the estimated design fee, the payment terms, the estimated timeline, and the terms and conditions for your review and approval.
Please note: The Initial Consultation does not include any physical design work such as re-arranging furniture, styling, etc. All recommendations happen on-site.
Phase 2
Site Measure & Planning
The Fee Estimate Proposal and Agreement is approved and the initial advance on our design fee is received to signal the start of the project – Phase Two. A thorough site assessment is essential to a successful outcome. During the site measure and planning, we assess and document the conditions of the existing space, take measurements and photographs for reference. For a complete renovation project, you are also welcomed to invite your contractors and trades to this meeting to discuss feasibility of initial concepts and ideas.
Phase 3
Design Concept, Research, Sourcing & Presentation
A full design plan starts to take shape based on the initial concepts we discussed at the consultation; and involves a lot of work behind-the-scenes! We develop a design direction for your project, which include detailed drawings, floor plans and sketches, as well as, the selection of all materials, fixtures, furnishings and decor elements. During this step we are happy to work with the trades people you hire to gather quotes and estimates to include in the initial project budget, which is also developed during this phase.
The Presentation is an exciting day! We schedule an in-person meeting to review the details of your custom design plan. This includes all drawings, sketches, colour scheme, digital presentation boards, fabric samples, furniture selections, budget breakdown and timeline. With approval of the design concept and project budget, the balance of the design fee, plus 75-100% of the furnishings budget is required to commence Phase Four.
The design fee for Phase Two & Three is outlined in the ‘Design Fee Estimate Proposal’ established after the consultation.
Phase 4
Project Coordination & Installation
In this final phase we manage the procurement of all the furnishings and decor products, track and manage all orders for the project; and coordinate all of the on-site activity to bring the design concept to life. For complete renovation projects, we are meeting with the contractors and trades you hired to discuss our plan and making the agreed upon site visits to ensure our design plans are being carried out according to our specifications. There are a lot of moving pieces in any renovation or decorating project, and we are dedicated to ensure it all comes together for a final reveal at the completion of the project!
The design fee for Phase Four is based on a percentage of the project budget determined in Phase Three.
