Full Service Interior Decorating is for the client who is looking to breathe new life into their space through the process of re-decoration. Whether its a blank slate (just moved in) or an existing space (lived their for years), we feel confident that we create something special and “new”. This service is ideal for the client who would like an expert to guide them through the design process (creating a design plan, ordering, installing, etc.); but who isn’t looking to do any renovations.
DISCOVERY CALL — Before we schedule a Consultation, we like to have a 5-15 minute “discovery call” with our clients to learn a little bit more about them and their project. Following our call, we will go ahead and email you our client questionnaire.
CONSULTATION – We begin every Full Service Interior Decorating project with a 1 - 1.5 hour consultation, during which time we walk through your home (or commercial space) while discussing your dreams and goals, as well as details about how you live in and use the space. We take some time to review the client questionnaire and inspiration images that you have, to get a better understanding of your style and taste.
VISION MEETING – At this point in the process we now have everything we need to get started! After coming up with some preliminary mood boards, floor plans, and elevations we will schedule a vision meeting, where we will present the aforementioned to you, to ensure that we are on the right track.
DESIGN MEETING – Once we have approval on visual direction, we will return to the office where we will continue to flesh out the overall design of your space. This process includes sourcing: furniture, lighting, rugs, hard surfaces, and goods for the space. We also provide to-scale floor plans and elevations; along with a detailed order list. This will all be presented to you in our design meeting.
PURCHASING PRODUCT – Once the design plan and order list has been approved, we will move forward with the purchasing of product.
INSTALLATION – This is where the magic happens and your design really comes to life! We will arrive on site to ensure the placement of your larger pieces (i.e. area rugs, furniture, etc.), place decor, hang wall art. etc. For safety reasons we do require that only our team is on site during installation.

YOUR VISION COME TO LIFE
How does this differ from Full Service Interior Design?
Our Full Service Decorating differs from our Full Service Interior Design in that when it comes to Full Service Decorating we do not assist in any renovations, just furniture, lighting, decor, etc. We may advise on wall color or wallpaper but nothing structural. With our Full Service Interior Design we also have more time allotted for site-visits, client communication, modifications, etc.
How long does the process take?
Depending on the client’s schedule and estimated delivery time of product, we can complete a project within two months.
Who purchases the product?
Once we have come up with a design plan and order list approved by the client we will collect a retainer to then and go purchase product.
How does Installation Day work?
Installation Day is one of the most exciting days of the design process because its really when your vision comes to life! We will arrive on site to ensure the placement of your larger pieces (i.e. area rugs, furniture, etc.), place decor, hang wall art. etc. This is where the magic happens! For safety reasons, we ask that our clients are not on-site during installation.
How much does it cost?
Please feel free to give us a call at 703-965-4929. We would love to hear more about you and your project; and to discuss the cost of this service.
