INITIAL

DESIGN CONSULTATION

2

  • Onsite initial 2 hour consultation

  • The consultation is a very important first step.

  • We will discuss your vision, goals, needs, lifestyle,  budget & time frame for your design project.

  • I will take a house tour & ask for your ideas and plans for each room.

  • I will take notes as we go, photographs for reference, measure the spaces if required and make preliminary suggestions or observations.

  • This will help determine project scope, timeline, budget and assess feasibility. 

  • You will be provided with posible ideas and guidance for your project, the next steps and an overview of what you can expect during the design process.

    • How I handle the design and research.

    • How I manage the products through to installation.

    • How I communicate during the design process.

SITE SURVEY & PLANNING DAY

  • I will carefully assess and document the conditions of the existing space.

PRESENTATION OF DESIGN CONCEPT PROPOSAL

SOURCING & ORDERING

  • Once everything is approved by you via the online design portal, between myself and your trades, we can start the purchasing process.

  • Products that you have agreed to order through me, I will then go to my trusted suppliers and get invoices from them.

  • This part of the interior design process can take a few days.

  • This is because some projects, there could be 20 different suppliers or more, that I am acquiring products from.

  • Most products I will specify through my trade suppliers, not retailers. This will get you better pricing, because I receive trade discounts from my suppliers, which I share with you.

  • I will collate all of the supplier invoices and then prepare one invoice for you to pay me.

  • Once I have received your payment, I will lock in all orders with my suppliers and organise deliveries of the products to your home.

  • Larger items like furniture can be delivered to your home. This will also depend on how far along in the construction phase we are in. I will organise for large items to be placed on hold at suppliers or help organise another holding facility if needed.

  • Smaller items and accessories will be delivered to Sally Josephine Designs until install and styling day.

INSTALL & STYLING

10

  • Yessss! Install Day has arrived.

  • This is where I come to your home and put all the furniture in its place, as per the layout we provided in the concept documents.

  • I will organise all relevant professionals / trades to finish off your project.

    • Handyman

    • Artwork Installer

    • Electrician

    • Audiovisual Technician

    • Window Treatment Installer

    • Cleaner if needed

  • Some items may arrive at different stages due to stock availability or delays and some larger pieces of furniture might already be unpacked already.

  • I will still be there to unpack everything else and move it into its place.

  • The installation day may be spread out over a few days due to availability of the trades.
