Most people hear the term “interior design consulting” and immediately think of someone coming into their home and picking out new furniture or giving them a complete makeover. However, the role of an interior design consultant is actually much more nuanced than that. At its core, interior design consulting is about helping people to create homes that reflect their unique tastes and lifestyles.

In order to do this effectively, an interior design consultant needs to be able to understand the unique needs of their client and then translate those needs into a concrete plan. This plan will often involve making recommendations about furniture, color schemes, and even the layout of the space. In many cases, an interior design consultant may also be responsible for overseeing the execution of the plan.

However, it is important to keep in mind that not all interior design consultants offer the same services. Some may focus solely on residential clients while others may work with commercial clients as well. As such, it is important to ask any potential consultant about their areas of expertise before hiring them.

Working with a reliable interior design consultant is vital to the success of your interior design goals. At Advanced Construction and Design, we specialize in helping homeowners create the home of their dreams. Below is a step-by-step guide to what you can expect when you work with us.

Step One: Schedule a Consultation

The first step to interior design consultation is to schedule a consultation with a reliable team of experienced designers—like those at Advanced Construction and Design. During this meeting, they'll tour your home, discuss your vision for the space, and answer any questions you may have about the interior design process. They'll also provide you with a cost estimate for their services.

Your initial consultation is the perfect time to ask questions, as well as lay out exactly what your hoping for in the space. Be prepared with buzzwords for your design goals and a clear idea of what you’re looking for. Although, if you’re not entirely sure what to do with the space, a dedicated designer can always help steer you in the right direction.

Step Two: Select Your Designer

Once you've had a chance to review our consultation report, you'll select the designer you'd like to work with. Go with the person you connected with the most and who you felt had a clear understanding of your vision. You'll then meet with your designer to discuss your project in more detail and develop a plan of action.

Step Three: Review the Design Concept

Once your designer has developed a concept for your space, they will present it to you for review. This is your opportunity to provide feedback and make any adjustments you feel are necessary. Once you're happy with the concept, we'll move on to the next phase of the project.

Step Four: Implementation

This is where the fun really begins! Our team will get to work transforming your space into the beautiful haven you've been dreaming of. We'll keep you updated throughout the process, so you can see the progress being made and offer input as needed.

Step Five: Enjoy Your New Space!

After all of the hard work is finished, it's time to sit back and enjoy your new space. We'll be there to help if you have any questions or need assistance with smaller details such as furniture placement or window treatments. And of course, we'll always be available if you need us for future projects.
