Frequently Asked Questions
What does an interior designer do?
We create spaces that work as well as they look. Specializing in remodels and new builds, I provide professional design drawings that guide the construction process. From selecting durable materials and custom cabinetry to the final furniture and decor styling, we handle the details that make a house feel like a home.
What's the timeline for a typical project?
Project timelines vary, but a simple room makeover can take a few weeks, while larger projects may span several months.
Can you work with existing furniture and decor?
Yes, we can incorporate your existing items into the design if they align with the project's goals.
How do you stay within my budget?
We work closely with you to establish a clear budget and prioritize spending on key elements to prevent overspending.
How can I prepare for our first meeting?
Gather inspiration images, budget information, and a list of your needs and preferences to help us understand your vision.
What's your design style or approach?
No matter your design style Challene wants to create a space that you love and feel at home in. She likes to work collaboratively with clients to design not just a beautiful space but a well functioning one for you to enjoy for years to come.
Do you handle project management and hiring contractors?
Yes, we can handle project management for certain projects. We do not hire contractors. However, we can suggest a contractor to work with but you will make the final decision on if you want to hire them to do the work.
How do you handle design revisions or changes during the project?
During projects we work collaboratively together so you are in on the design the whole way but at the end of the project during our final design review meeting if you want any changes they can be adjusted at that time.
Can you provide references or examples of past projects?
Of course! Check out our portfolio on this site to see some of past projects and featured work. Message us for references.
What's the best way to communicate during the project?
Generally through email. Client and designer are both expected to respond within a 24 hr. period of time to keep the project moving forward and to meet project timelines.
