FAQs

What is the difference between an Interior Decorator and an Interior Designer?

 

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetic finishings of a room; paint, wallpaper, flooring and tile, fabrics, textures, and window treatments.  The service we provide is an interior decorating service.

 

If your project requires a major renovation such as moving of walls or fixtures, or knowledge of local construction codes, you will need to hire an interior designer for your project.

​

What is covered in the consultation?

 

We will go over the space you wish to redecorate, what the space is used for and any practical needs for the space.  We will discuss any existing furniture or items you wish to use as part of the design.  Colour and style preferences as well as any brand preferences.

 

You will need to provide photos and measurements of the space as well as any furniture you would like to be considered as part of the design.  It may be helpful to also provide photos of areas which surround the space.

 

What considerations are made in a design?

 

The size of the space, layout, functionality, how the space interacts with surrounding spaces, natural and artificial lighting, any features you wish to enhance and the mood of the room.

 

What is your fee structure?

 

Our fees are based on the size of the project and the scope of work involved.  By having a consultation, we can narrow down the amount of work involved and provide an estimate based on your needs.  Although we provide an estimate, the actual cost will vary depending on the items chosen and the amount of hours needed to complete the project.

 

What is included in your fee?

 

All services include the design, floor plan, colour palate, list of items for purchase and links for where to buy these items.  One on one instant messaging access to ask any questions along the way as well as scheduled zoom meetings at certain points in the project.

 

How long is the process?

 

The process will vary depending on the size of the project, delivery times and availability of materials and, if required, local professionals.
