deliverables may include:
Upon completing the inquiry form on our website, you’ll receive our Design Overview as well as a link to schedule an Initial Call. On this call, we'll delve into your project and design requirements, and provide insights into our design process. If we both agree there's a mutual fit, we'll schedule an in-person Initial Visit. This is when we’ll thoroughly explore your aesthetic preferences, project wish list, and timeline - all of which will factor into your detailed Scope of Work.
Following the Initial Visit, we’ll develop a high-level, detailed Scope of Work + Letter of Agreement outlining the specifics of your project, including our Full Service Design Fee, interior furnishings and materials investment estimate, and estimated costs for renovation or new build materials (if supplied by your builder). Once we agree on the estimated investment estimate and sign the Letter of Agreement, we'll proceed to the Research + Design Phase.
Next, we’ll schedule a kick-off meeting to outline the upcoming steps, depending on the type of build. For renovation or new build consultations, we will begin with layout design and configuration, and then finish selections, covering aspects such as tile, cabinetry, countertops, and lighting. If this is a large scale furnishings project, our focus shifts promptly to furniture plans and selections.
Once we have finished your design plan and selections, we will schedule a presentation that will include customized mood boards, floorplans, elevations, renderings and finish samples.
Upon your approval of selected items, we will order, receive, inspect, and safely store them with our receiver. We will provide you with regular updates until we are ready to install.
Once all items have been received and inspected, we proceed to install everything in your home. The much-anticipated dramatic reveal day, eagerly awaited since the project's inception, will finally come to fruition.
Creating a forever home seamlessly tailored to your family’s lifestyle takes time, dedication, commitment, strong communication and acute attention to detail. When partnering with Elana Designs, you can expect your space to transform into the intentional, welcoming, and unique haven you’ve always imagined.
