Process
A streamlined approach to selecting finishes and materials that feel cohesive, balanced, and aligned with your overall design vision.
01. Discovery + Consultation
We begin by reviewing the existing space, discussing project goals, and identifying the finishes that will need to be selected. This consultation helps establish the overall design direction and priorities.
02. Design Concepts
Initial design concepts are developed to explore color palettes and material combinations. Mood boards and finish inspiration help visualize how flooring, cabinetry, tile, lighting, and other elements may work together.
03. Design Development & Refinement
Selections are refined and coordinated to ensure all finishes complement one another. Design boards and visual references help communicate the final vision for the space.
04. Final Selections & Sourcing
All materials, fixtures, and finishes are finalized. Product specifications and recommendations are prepared for use by contractors or vendors.
05. Implementation & Installation
Selections are provided to guide the installation process and ensure materials are implemented according to the design plan.
06. Project Completion & Review
A final review confirms that finishes and materials have been installed as intended and that the overall design is cohesive.
