Our Design Process
We have outlined below the important steps to the design process, making it streamlined and systematic to ensure a smooth experience for you.
phase one
Inquiry Call

Click here to request your Inquiry Call today.
phase two
In-Home Consultation
This two-hour meeting serves as a foundation for us to create a tailored proposal for your project. To start, we would take a tour of your home to see the areas you would like to focus on and to hear your thoughts on how you envision the space. This helps us better understand the space, lighting, and other elements that should be considered in the design plan. Afterwards, photographs will be taken, along with an inventory of any pieces you would like to keep and incorporate in the design. We will also take room measurements so we can create an outstanding design just for you.
phase three
Proposal
After your consultation, we will create a proposal which will include the budget for the project. Designed Curated operates on an hourly basis. Our proposal will include a proposed budget for items as well as our fees so you can get a complete view of your project budget. This is the final step before the interior design process begins!
phase four
Floor Plan & Design
At this stage, we will create a floor plan designs & design board to provide you with product and design options, all personalized for you.
phase five
Design Presentation
In the Design Presentation, we will review our recommendations for creating the perfect space for you. Together, we'll make the selections and discuss any adjustments necessary to the design plan.
phase six
Sourcing & Procurement
Once the design is approved and product and material selections have been made, everything can be ordered. Upon arrival of your items, we will move to our final step of putting it all together.
phase seven
Install Day
Once all items have been received and inspected, we will schedule an official install date. During the install day, we ask that you're offsite for a minimum of five hours. Don't worry, we handle every last detail as your space is transformed into your dream home!
phase eight
The Finish Details
After most installations, there is usually a couple of little things that will need to be addressed. While we always try to have everything solidified on Install Day, there may be some things here and there that need to be attended to afterwards. We like to do walk-through with you a few days post-install to create this list together. For example, you may prefer a throw blanket for the sofa. Or you may not love one of the decor items we used on the nightstand. Whatever it is, we will address it and make sure you are completely satisfied with your custom design!
