Hey, everyone! Today, I’m sharing something I’ve received several questions about lately and we’re finally ready to reveal…
We’re now offering e-design!
I love e-design because I firmly believe that your home should bring you all the love, beauty, and happiness you deserve — without you needing to auction off a kidney to get it.
Many studios define e-design differently, so let’s talk about what it means to us, what’s included, and the huge impact it can make in how you live your life!
Everything you ever wanted to know about e-design
What is e-design?
E-design is the process of designing a space… entirely online! Most e-design starts from initial concept and continues through a solid plan for bringing the new design to life. That’s where you take the reins on making it happen!
What services does e-design include?
You can choose e-design for nearly any of the traditional interior design services. Like...
Space planning
Design concept
Color palette selections
Hard materials like flooring, countertops, cabinets, etc.
Soft furnishings like furniture, window treatments, etc.
Art & accessories
Recommendations for contractors or sources
…for any (or every) room of the house!
How do you know if e-design is right for your project?
E-design is perfect for you if…
1. You want an expertly styled home for a lower cost than full-service design fees
2. You have great follow-through. If we give you a beautiful plan for your new space, but you don’t follow the plan we’ve outlined for you, you’ll still have the old one!
What should you expect during the e-design process?
Every designer has their own process, but here’s how ours works:
1. Initial Call
We’ll chat about your space (or see it via video chat), hear what you love/loathe about it, and discuss your goals for it. During this call, we’ll also get on the same page regarding budget and timeline for the project.
2. Refine Your Aesthetic
We’ll ask you to share some photos of design that inspires you. We may ask more questions here or there to make sure we fully understand your style, or styles, and how you want the space to look.
3. Concept Presentation
We’ll pull together a concept for your space, including mood boards, floor plan, furniture and materials selections, colors, and more — everything we discussed for your unique project. You’ll have the chance to provide feedback on selections and aesthetic.
4. Design Guide
You’ll get our comprehensive Design Guide for your space, including the materials we’ve chosen, where to find them, and our suggested plan for bringing your space to life.
5. Make It Happen
This one’s up to you! You now have everything you need to start bringing your new design to life. :)
What are the pros and cons of e-design?
Pros:
Expert style selections for a beautiful home
Low cost compared to traditional design services
1-on-1 professional design advice for managing your unique project
Space planning that works for your family’s busy life
Materials recommendations specific to your budget
Cons:
We don’t order the items for you
We don’t assemble them in your space (but we’ll have already shown you how!)
Those are the basics! Did I miss a question you might have? If so (or maybe you’re ready to dive on in), just reach out to us here. :)
See you next month!
