Process
Whatever your needs – from the refresh of an often-used family room, or an entirely new look for your new home, our process will ensure a seamless experience from concept through completion.
Most of our Design services start with an in-person home consultation for up to 2 hours at a $350 flat rate. During this consultation MDD can answer some of your questions regarding your space, offer some suggestions and explore some design ideas.
Introductory Call – A quick “get to know each other” call where we talk about your project, your expectations, and your design aesthetic. We want to make sure MDD is the right fit for you.
Discovery Phase - Questionnaire we dig deeper into your needs to understand what you would like to accomplish in your space, overall budget and timeline will be discussed.
In-person Home consultation – This is when we will discuss your personal “likes and dislikes” about the space and talk about your ideal outcome of the project. MDD can answer some of your questions regarding your space, offer some suggestions and explore some design ideas. During the consultation we will be able to assess and provide a proposal to complete the project.
Proposal – A formal contract outlining the scope of work, responsibilities, and price for services.
Concept Development – We develop mood boards, sketches, and preliminary layouts, providing a visual representation of the aesthetic direction and layout possibilities for your space. This will be presented to the client to allow for feedback and course correction as needed.
