How Does Designer for a Day Work?

So, how does the Designer for A Day service work anyway? From our initial preparations to the on-site session and follow-up, we’ve crafted a process that ensures every moment is purposeful and designed around your needs.

Before We Meet: Setting the Stage

Preparation is key to making our time together impactful. Once you book your session, we’ll ask you to complete a questionnaire about your goals, style preferences, and the challenges you’re facing. If you have photos of your space or an inspirational Pinterest board, even better—these visuals help us craft a design plan that aligns with your vision.

With this information in hand, we’ll refine the experience. Though each session is unique, before we meet, we’ll prepare by considering the following as needed:

Review of photographs of your space.
Request measurements.
1-hour Zoom meeting to review style, budget, and space requirements.
Review your inspiration, priorities, and budget.
Draft initial layouts and space plans.
Source options for furnishings, paint colors, and décor from trusted vendors.

Your design needs are considered to ensure our time together is productive and focused. By the time we meet, we’ll have a clear plan to make the most of our time together.

The On-Site Session: Where the Magic Happens

Our three-hour in-home session is all about collaboration. We’ll dive into the specifics of your space, answer your questions, and refine your ideas. Here's what we’ll cover:

A Design Deck review focusing on your needs and priorities. Guidance on honing your design style.
Samples, tear sheets, and other relevant ideas for collaboration.
Recommendations for paint colors, furnishings, and layouts.
Curated product options to suit your style and priorities.

This time is yours, so ask questions, share concerns, and explore possibilities. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels cohesive and achievable.

After the Day: Bringing It All Together

Once our session ends, we continue working behind the scenes to finalize your design plan. Depending on your needs this may include things like:

Organizing and presenting your approved selections.
Creating purchasing or material-specific schedules.
Handling purchasing and expediting to streamline your experience.

Within days, you’ll receive a revised and detailed design presentation, complete with everything you need to execute your project.
