Hands-On Decorating for Local Clients

If you're located in the Washington DC or Northern VA area, I’d love to meet face-to-face in the space you’re designing. I can assist you with anything as small as a furniture refresh to something as large-scale as furnishing an entire home from scratch.

  • The client fills out a robust survey, provided by Emily, which serves as chance for Emily to get know the clients and their needs better. All communication during this step will be done via e-mail.

  • Perform an initial in-person walkthrough of the space(s) with client.

  • Combine the design vision with the clients wants and needs. Emily will create a project mood board that visually communicates the design goals. Together, a final budget will be finalized.

  • Emily will create a project mood board that visually communicates the design goals along with a floorplan with a recommended furniture layout that is to scale.

  • Implement the design plan by working closely with the client. A design board showing all final product selections will be included as well as links to all of the items suggested for the design. A to-scale furniture floorplan will be included if applicable. Follow up in-person meetings will be included to go over selections, look at swatches if applicable, etc.

  • The client will have ample opportunity to provide feedback and request changes throughout the design process. Once the design is finalized; a shopping list will be handed off to the client. The client will be responsible for ordering and tracking all items for the design.

  • With the help of a handyman or task rabbit (supplied by the client) Emily is available for on-site styling to help really bring the room together.
