Let’s talk about the most important tool in any design project: the budget. For many, the financial conversation can feel like the most daunting part of the process. It is a significant investment, and you deserve to feel complete confidence and clarity about how your resources are being allocated.

The decision to partner with an interior designer is the first step on an exciting journey—one that will culminate in a home that is a true reflection of you. But in these initial stages, it’s natural to wonder: What happens now?

The decision to begin a design journey is filled with excitement and possibility. Your first consultation with a designer is the pivotal first step—the moment your daydreams begin their transformation into a tangible plan.

The decision to embark on an interior design project is a thrilling one. It is the beginning of a journey to create a home that not only looks beautiful but also profoundly enhances your life. Yet, for many, this excitement can be tinged with a touch of apprehension. What actually happens between the first conversation and the final, beautiful room? How does a vision become a reality?
