Interior Design to Live & Thrive

High-end Custom Residential, Commercial, New Construction and Re-Construction Design

Design Process LEO Custom

Our process centers around developing a design blueprint that matches your dream interior design goals and your budget. Once we understand your needs and timeline, we will create a formal design agreement and begin the process of developing your individual design canvas. Our design fees start at $13,500 per room, furnishings are separate - hourly consultation pricing available upon request.

We always look forward to selecting creative design ideas that result in detailed, unique and personalized spaces.

 

STEP 1

Design Analysis

We will conduct a one-hour design analysis and cover the following:

  • Project Scope

  • Start Date – please keep in mind that our projects are typically scheduled 1-2 months out

  • Anticipated Installation Date – custom design can take 4-12 months to execute

  • Architect you are working with, if applicable, and any blueprints or drawings you may have

  • Construction needs and contractor selection, if applicable

  • Budget

  • Personal design style

  • Dislikes

  • Expectations from me through the design process

After we have finalized the design agreement, we will begin the process of developing your individual design canvas.

 

STEP 2

Design

During the design phase we will:

  • Assess the space and its uses, including taking photographs and measurements

  • Create a space plan (furniture layout) using any desired existing furniture and identifying missing pieces for selection

  • Provide 3-5 selections, based on scope of the project, for furnishings, fabrics, trim, tile, and the like. Budget and aesthetic preferences, as determined in phase 1, will be carefully considered when making selections

  • Meet with you to review and approve design recommendations

 

STEP 3

Project Management

After receiving approval for the selections, we will compile a detailed proposal to show pricing for all goods presented.

During this time, we work closely with any subcontractors, such as drapery workrooms, cabinet shops, or painters, to gather quotes and to communicate the design.

This facilitation and communication with all parties involved in the project will free your time to continue with your daily activities. Once we receive an approval from you on pricing for all goods and labor, we will commence the ordering and scheduling process.

 

STEP 4

Implementation

Change in the household can be disruptive and stressful for some; our goal is to make the project progress as smooth as possible with a successful outcome.

The full-service nature of our firm ensures that your project is in very capable hands

We have a team of professionals that will deliver creative design and excellent client service.

We will work with the delivery company on the placement of the furniture and will inspect for any damages. Once we have received your proposal and deposit, we will place all of your orders and schedule all subcontractors.

Throughout the process, we will keep you apprised of delivery dates and the status of the project; we will also frequently visit your project to ensure that all aspects of the project are moving smoothly and any questions are answered. Once the ordered items arrive at the receiving warehouse, we will schedule a delivery and installation with you.
