Interior Design Guidance Process – What to Expect
- Initial Consultation: a meet and greet in your home to gather valuable information about your personality, lifestyle, desired goals and the overall scope of the project.
- Proposal: a written proposal is submitted outlining Kathy’s role, responsibilities and estimated hours it will take to complete the project. A deposit is required at this stage to move the project forward.
- Material Selection: project materials are selected and design scenarios are created for presentation.
- Project Estimate: once the material direction is fine-tune, a written, detailed estimate of materials and labor is provided. Once approved a 50% deposit is required to get started.
- Purchasing: all pre-approved materials are purchased from reliable vendors. Authentic Home coordinates materials pick-up and delivery to the project site.
- Scheduling: subcontractors are scheduled for the particular project and briefed on the interior design elements and overall scope of the project.
- Design Layout/Space Planning: if warranted, an AutoCAD drawing of a particular project, such as the tile layout for a new bathroom or a furniture space plan, is provided.
- Installation: Authentic Home oversees on-site installation of materials. Upon your complete satisfaction with the project and installation, final payment is then due.
- Celebration: the project is complete and it’s time to pop the cork and enjoy your new Authentic Home!
"I wanted to pass on my gratitude to Authentic Home for their help and advice in helping me with the renovation of our real estate office in West Seattle.
I received tremendous service with advice on color options and a thorough walk through of the office area. Upon choosing colors and painting the interior, the building looked remarkably better and warmer for our customers and associates who use the facility. It's amazing what color can do for an office and I am most impressed with our transformation.
My sincerest thanks to Kathy Banak and Authentic Home, we will recommend you over and over to our clients."
