Discovery & Consultation
Each project begins with a consultation to identify your needs, share design suggestions, establish scope, and understand how you want your home to feel and function. Every consultation includes Helen Austen’s unique expertise with personalized design suggestions and solutions to your questions. Interior design consultations are $550 and take 1.5-2 hours.
Research & Presentation
After exploring your needs, habits and preferences, our team begins to create your personalized and unique design. This includes floor plans, elevations, furnishings research and selection, 3D renderings, mood boards, sample finishes and textiles, bid procurement from any needed trade’s contractors, and an itemized spreadsheet with prices clearly displayed.
Procurement & Installation
After the design has been enthusiastically agreed upon, our project manager places orders and facilitates all aspects of your home’s transformation in this stage. When it comes time for the full installation, our team supervises and manages the delivery, placement, and styling of every home. You will return to a totally transformed space and be able to feel the power of a well-designed home.
