I understand that finding the right interior designer is a process. That is why Embarking On Design offers a free 15-minute discovery call. It is the perfect opportunity to kickstart your interior design journey. Here’s how to make the most of this valuable consultation.
1. Outline Your Project Scope
Be ready to discuss the details of your project. Key points to cover include:
Spaces Involved: Which rooms or areas are you looking to redesign?
Changes Needed: Are you looking for a complete overhaul or just a refresh?
Special Requirements: Do you need custom furniture, storage solutions, or specialized materials?
2. Prepare Your Ideas and Inspirations
Before your call, gather any ideas, photos, or inspirations you have for your space. Think about:
Likes and Dislikes: What styles, colors, and themes do you love? Are there any you absolutely dislike?
Functionality: How do you use the space now, and how do you envision using it in the future?
Aesthetic Goals: What mood or atmosphere do you want to create?
Having a clear vision helps us understand your style preferences and design aspirations.
3. Discuss Your Budget
Having a budget range in mind will help provide realistic recommendations. Consider:
Total Budget: What is the overall amount you’re willing to invest in your project?
Flexibility: Are there areas where you’re willing to splurge or save?
Understanding your budget allows us to tailor our services and suggestions to fit your financial plan.
4. Timeline Expectations
Think about your desired timeline. During the call, we’ll discuss:
Start and End Dates: When do you want to begin and complete your project?
Deadlines: Are there any specific dates or events you’re aiming for?
Availability: How much time can you dedicate to meetings, reviews, and decision-making?
A clear timeline ensures that your project progresses smoothly and meets your scheduling needs.
5. Clarify Your Concerns and Questions
This call is also your chance to address any concerns or ask questions. Some points to consider:
Previous Experiences: Have you worked with an interior designer before? What did you like or dislike about the experience?
Specific Challenges: Are there any design challenges or constraints you’re worried about?
Service Details: What aspects of our service are you most curious about?
Voicing your concerns helps me understand your needs and ensures we address them from the start.
6. Be Open and Honest
The more transparent you are, the better we can assist you. Share your true thoughts and expectations, as this helps provide the best possible service. The more I get to know you, the better I can design for you!
Our 15-minute discovery call is designed to set the foundation for a successful design partnership. By preparing your ideas, defining your project scope, discussing your budget and timeline, and being open about your concerns, you’ll make the most of this initial consultation.
What's Next?
After a discovery call we can schedule a design consultation! Design consultations are on the project site for projects local to Central Indiana or over Zoom for virtual clients. This 90 minute meeting allows me to review your inspiration and needs further, gather measurements, delve into your dreams for the project, and discuss potential changes. Design consultations are a flat fee and the pre-curser to further design work.
Embarking On Design is excited to help you create a space that reflects your style and meets your needs. Book your free discovery call today, and let’s embark on this design journey together!
