The
Design
Process
A comprehensive design process that guides every selection from the ground up, creating a cohesive and well-designed home from the very beginning.
01. Discovery + Consultation
We begin by reviewing architectural plans and discussing your lifestyle, style preferences, and goals for the home. This phase helps establish the overall design vision.
02. Design Concepts
Concept development explores color palettes, finishes, and design direction for the home. Design boards and inspiration help visualize the overall style and aesthetic.
03. Design Development & Refinement
Selections are refined and coordinated across all areas of the home. Cabinetry, finishes, lighting, and materials are carefully curated to create a cohesive design.
04. Final Selections & Sourcing
All selections are finalized and documented for the builder and contractors. Specifications ensure the design can be implemented accurately during construction.
05. Implementation & Installation
We collaborate with the builder during the construction process to help ensure selections are installed according to plan.
06. Project Completion & Review
A final review confirms that the design vision has been successfully implemented throughout the home. Once installation is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough to confirm that all design elements meet expectations and the space functions beautifully.
FAQs
Everything you might be wondering before getting started
When should I bring a designer into my new construction project?
Do you work with my builder or contractor?
Ideally, as early as possible—before or during the planning phase. This allows for better coordination with your builder and ensures design decisions are intentional from the start.
Yes. We collaborate closely with your builder throughout the process to ensure selections are clear, cohesive, and aligned with the construction timeline.
Do you attend builder selection meetings?
Yes, when needed. We can assist during builder meetings to help guide decisions and ensure selections align with your overall design vision.
What types of selections do you help with?
Will my home feel cohesive throughout?
We assist with all interior selections, including cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, lighting, plumbing fixtures, hardware, paint colors, and more.
Yes. One of our primary goals is to ensure all selections work together seamlessly so your home feels cohesive from room to room.
Can you help if I feel overwhelmed by all the decisions?
Absolutely. This is a collaborative process. We guide and present options, but your input and preferences are an important part of the final design.
Do you provide drawings or visualizations?
What if I change my mind during the process?
Yes. Depending on the scope, we provide design boards, layouts, and visual references to help you clearly understand the design direction.
Changes can be made, but they may impact timelines or selections already in progress. We’ll guide you through any adjustments and communicate next steps.
