Creating a space that reflects your personal taste can include various design styles, such as a more contemporary home with minimal decor or a classic look. Whether you want to upgrade your home or business, working closely with experienced designers helps you achieve your goals. Interiors by Steven G. has a team of interior designers and other professionals who will help you create a space that meets your functionality needs and decor preferences.

Meeting the Interior Designers

Interiors by Steven G. aims to make each project smooth and enjoyable for clients. We do this by keeping a constant line of communication open between our designers and clients. Each project begins with interior designers and clients meeting for an initial consultation. Clients will discuss details such as the space they wish to change, timeline goals, and the styles they want to incorporate.

During this conversation, the designer might ask questions about the client’s personal preferences. Designers will discuss the color schemes and material finishes the client would like to use and ask about their favorite decor styles, inspiration, and references. Clients should be ready to share details about their daily routines in the current space and how they could be enhanced. If a client wants to redo their kitchen, they should describe which areas they plan to use most. Clients who tell designers they like to cook at home or host large family meals help designers create functional plans.

Sharing Details With the Team

During the planning stage, clients are encouraged to talk about themselves. If they’re a person who wants a smart house that blends technology and style, they should bring up technology preferences. Clients should also expect to discuss different textures and shades for walls and drapes. There might be conversations about different types of fabric for furniture and whether the client prefers a minimalistic or maximalist style. New clients shouldn’t hesitate to ask questions and make suggestions for integrating artwork, decor, and furniture they own into the project.

Clients can let the designer know if they want to add anything specific to the project, such as art pieces like sculptures or paintings. They can also talk about practical functionalities to make the space accessible for people with disabilities. If clients are unsure which style they like, designers will show them a few references. Designers will also share ideas and suggestions to make the space more visually appealing and functional.

First Drafts of Project Development

The design process involves developing a concept that reflects the client’s tastes and functional requirements. The first outlines of the project might include selecting furniture, lighting fixtures, and color schemes. Clients may also be looking at decorations, like wall art, lamps, rugs, and curtains. Designers stay in regular contact with the client, asking for feedback to confirm the project still aligns with their goals. Interior designers may provide fabric and paint swatches and different pieces of sample furniture for clients to try out. During this stage, interior designers will also show the client digital mockups of how the decor and layout will look when the project is complete.

Managing Construction and Renovation

Contractors, architects, and other professionals are added to the design team if a project involves construction or significant renovations. An interior designer will oversee the project by keeping track of the stages of development and schedule. Having a designer on-site is useful when clients order customized items like appliances or fixtures that need to be installed.

Installation Day and Refinements

Interiors by Steven G.’s in-house team will oversee and perform the installation process. We will keep track of the materials as they arrive, directing the on-site workers on where each piece goes. During this step of the process, the designer might contact the client for their opinion and final approval. After the installation is complete, designers will test all the functionalities to confirm everything works as it should. They will also refer to the design plans to make sure all decor is in the correct place.

The Reveal and Final Touches

Once the inspection is complete, the designer will present the final results of the renewed space to the client. This is the time for clients to give the interior designers honest feedback and let them know how the project met their expectations. If the client has any concerns about the design, our team will address them before completing the project.
