Are you interested in my interior design services, but you're not in the Philadelphia area? Depending upon the scope of your project, I may be able to work with you remotely. All communication during a remote project takes place via scheduled phone calls and email.
Remote projects are best suited for spaces that don't require structural changes (wall removal, new flooring, built-in cabinetry, etc.). For projects like this, I ask my clients to provide drawings specifying the shape of the room, indicating key features (i.e. windows, fireplaces, outlets, etc.), and providing the dimensions of all elements (walls, windows, ceiling height, etc.) along with photographs of the existing space from many angles.
From there, my typical remote design project includes the following:
- Phone conversation(s) with you to understand your functional and aesthetic goals
- Reviewing examples of spaces, products, and materials to determine your overall design vision and taste preferences.
- Clarifying your budget and timeline for purchasing furniture, materials, and products
- Developing the most effective layout and floor plan to address your functional needs
- Developing and finalizing an overall design concept/vision and color palette for your space
- Identifying furniture, flooring solutions, lighting, accessories, artwork, final paint colors, and other products and materials that support the design concept/vision
- Summarizing all furniture, product, and material details in a project spreadsheet for easy purchasing/ordering
For design services, I charge an hourly fee. If the scope of your project is clearly defined or easy to clarify, at the start of a project I often can provide you with an estimated low and high range of what my design fees will be.
For projects of a large or more undefined scope, I typically bill by the hour and keep you abreast of my accrued time throughout the project.
Many clients who need design help may have never worked with a designer before and might be unsure whether they can afford to work with me. While some designers charge hourly fees plus a percentage markup on any products they select for the space, I do not. I also have instituted several practices in my business to keep my overhead costs low and my hourly fees affordable.
