What to Expect from the Initial Design Consultation:

  • This service - the Initial Consultation - is always where we begin before any other service is considered. Whether it's big or small, virtual or in-person, we are here to help.
  • You will get up to one hour (60 minutes) at your home to discuss as many spaces as you'd like - usuallly your top 3 spaces. It's best if Virginia, and possibly a team member as well, could walk through spaces to get an overall view and understanding of your home first but then discuss one area in depth.
  • The Initial Design Consultation is an important step to determine the specific design process and package that best fits your design needs. This will be a great time to explain our design process and to ensure our approach is a good fit and one that aligns with your needs.
  • During the Initial Design Consultation, we will discuss ideas for layout of the space, take measurements & 'before' photos. This consultation could include advice on wall paint color as well, if needed. It's really a time for YOU and to benefit you as much as possible.
  • Professional advice will be given during this consultation based on our Discovery Call and the Questionnaire answers. The Questionnaire Intake Form must be completed and submitted before this Consultation takes place, even if all you think you need is this Initial Design Consultation. This is also a time when we explain our design process for each design service that we offer.
  • Virginia, or someone from Dwell Style Interiors team, will prepare a summary report after our session which will include a proposal specifically tailored to your project and scope of work. This proposal will outline our design fee, estimated furnishings, if needed,  project timeline and pay schedule. We’ll make recommendations on next steps!  You will receive this proposal approximately one week after the consultation with us.
  • Virginia will provide a day and time to follow up with you to review and answer any questions you have so we can identify next steps and set a project start date.
  • You will also have access to Virginia's E-book titled "The 5 Essential 'C's' For Designing Any Space in Your Home". Virginia shares what should be present in every design in order for the design to be a successful and satisfying design.

How to Best be Prepared for the Initial Consultation to Maximize Results:

  • Prepare a few 'Inspirational Images' to review with Virginia during your consultation to help define your design style and vision for your space.
  • Include all parties involved in this design project (spouse/partner,roommate, family,children, etc.) and have a conversation about your level of investment for this project BEFORE Virginia arrives. It's OK if you don't know 100%. The best way is to discuss how much time, energy,and money you agree to invest into this project so that Virginia can determine which design service would be best for you.
  • Yay! Get excited! Your design dreams are about to unfold! Dwell Style Interiors can execute your design dreams from start to finish! We will be one step closer to making your design dreams come true! This is something to get EXCITED about!
  • The investment fee for the Initial Design Consultation is $500.00 for one hour of consulting.
