Full Service Interior Design
From large scale renovations to one room makeovers, Laurie Yapp Design creates beautiful and functional spaces that our clients will enjoy for years to come. The design process is a mysterious topic for those who have not yet worked with a design professional. Please take a few moments and read about our service below, and feel free to contact us with questions.
Initial Consultation
The Initial Consultation will take place in your home, where we’ll discuss your project, wish list, budget and establish a vision for your space. We also take measurements and photos of the spaces. This meeting is an opportunity to get to know each other and determine how we can transform your place into a functioning and beautiful home.
Contract
With a preliminary scope of work and budget in hand, we create a customized Letter of Agreement for your project. Once this legal document is signed and a retainer is provided we begin the Planning Phase for your project.
Planning Phase
At the beginning of the Planning Phase, we’ll meet again to discuss your project in depth. If construction is involved, we’ll meet with trades and contractors to firm up on the possibilities. We’ll create floor plans, elevation drawings, millwork, and lighting plans. We’ll source finishes, fixtures, and furnishings for your home and present you with the new vision during the Design Presentation
Design Presentation
Upon completion of the design plan, we’ll present you with the reimagined space illustrated with drawings, images, fabric swatches, and finish samples. Large projects may require phased presentations. If there are components that need tweaking or revision, we’ll fine-tune and source alternatives to ensure you are completely happy with the design plan.
Implementation
As finishes, fixtures and custom items are approved, we’ll begin the ordering process and manage these moving parts. We work hand in hand with the contractor to ensure smooth execution of the Design Plans. We’ll take the stress out of the process, handle decisions, deal with potential problems allowing you to focus on enjoying life.
The Finishing Touches
After construction is completed, fixtures and furnishing are installed, we’ll source and bring accessories and finishing touches to your home to complete the transformation. We’ll also ask you to allow us a day to photograph your home for our portfolio.
