e-Design

WHAT IS E-DESIGN?

Online interior design (e-design) is the best way to get a professionally decorated home on a budget, entirely around your schedule, all online.

Schedule a 1 hour consultation with us to discuss your design needs.  We will discuss your overall expectations of the space and examine paint, finishes, and review design inspiration photographs so that we may determine the look that you would like to achieve in the space.

After our initial meeting, we will create a customized design plan for you that will include product selections (including furniture, accessories, art, fabrics, window treatments, flooring options, and lighting solutions), a floor plan, a rendered perspective drawing, and a shopping guide—all of which will be submitted to you via email, overnight mail, or personally delivered to your door**.

This service is designed to assist the needs of the client that may know what they want, are having trouble pulling it all together, but are confident in their ability to be able to do so if given the right tools.  The design plan serves as your road map because it takes all of the guess work out of the design of the space.  With this service you can shop at your convenience and you will have unlimited access to me to ask questions about your design plan for two weeks at no additional cost to you.

Who is E-design for?

Many of my clients lead a busy life. Between raising kids and a full time job, they just don’t have the time to coordinate meetings with a designer or arrange orders for their decorations. Saving them time and money, we collaborate entirely through my personal online platform to create a unique and personal design plan. I also help a lot of DIYers execute designs that they helped to create through our collaboration. I love to save people money, so I look for the best deals possible. Additionally, I am able to extend a portion of my trade discount to you.

Why Not Choose One of the Large Online Design Platforms?

There are plenty of online design services out there- and I’ve done a little design work for a few of them so I know what they are about. Of course they are great for some people, but there are a lot of restrictions set by these companies. They have rules for where the designer is allowed to source, how long the project should take, and even who you are matched with. When you select an independent designer who specializes in online interior design, you get a personalized experience with all the perks of a local designer.  This includes working at your own pace with your schedule in mind and custom design that utilizes my designer trade-only connections for your furniture and accessories. I also extend to you discounts off of retail prices (some exclusions apply) if you prefer to shop on your own. While choosing a personal designer as opposed to a large company may be a bigger investment, you’ll enjoy a more tailored approach and may save money on the pieces you buy!

What is not offered in E-design services?

I do not create designs or plans for renovations, I can give you a visual idea of the space by my plans are not to be used as construction documents. Plans are to be used as visual reference to implement a design plan. Since I don’t live in your area, I don’t know the design professionals; therefore, my plans are strictly for decor and design that you can do yourself. I do recommend hiring a licensed electrician (for lighting installations) or handyman to hang items that may need to be anchored into the wall.

*A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment for all services and will be deducted from your total cost. Time spent over the stated time for consultations will be billed at our hourly rate.

**If you live in the Washington, DC Metro Area or in the Richmond, VA area and would prefer to meet in person as opposed to having items forwarded via overnight mail or emailed to you, please let us know and we would be more than  happy to make arrangements to personally deliver the presentations to you!
