FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When talking about a budget for a project I work with my clients to identify pricing from a scale of Good - Better - Best. Most projects cross over into more than one price range. For example, if we need an accent chair that will not be used much then I would suggest we keep that piece in a lower price range while I would encourage them to get good quality pieces like recliners or a sofa that will have a lot of wear and tear!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The initial consultation gives us a chance to get aquatinted. By showing me your home and the spaces you want to work on I am able to better understand your style and needs. If we agree to work together, I will follow up in 2 weeks or less with a proposal. It is best for us both to have a working budget. At that follow up meeting we can finalize things like fabric selection because I always like to offer a few choices. My proposal will include rendering/drawings of the space so you can see the room including a floor plan and 3D renderings. Once we have a plan that you love within your budget, I would require a 60% deposit. We will discuss approximate time lines for delivery and installation.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to the graduate level formal education I have in Interior Design, I am fortunate that Decorating Den Interiors offers extensive and ongoing education about everything from trends to technology including an annual conference. I also attend the Furniture Market at High Point NC to stay on top of what's new.
