Sample Procurement
Decorating Proposal Meeting
Decorating Optional
One of our decorators will initiate a consultation to discuss your project and assess your needs for services. They will discuss your budget and confirm approximate costs for a decorating retainer. From there, they will schedule a decorating meeting.
Decorating Optional
During this meeting, the decorator will review your inspiration images, discuss your needs, and assess existing finishes or furniture to consider. This is how the decorator gathers all they need to know to create the vision for the project.
Decorating Optional
The next step is sample procurement. The decorator will gather optional finishes for all the requested selections – whether that be for one or two particular selections or for all the required selections for the project. This is where you sit back and relax while the decorator does it for you.
Decorating Optional
The decorator will present you with the proposed selections. The proposal can include finish samples, photos, presentation boards, drawings, or 3D renderings. Your decorator will review the options with you and guide you to finalize the selections for your project. If required, the decorator will make any changes and set up a follow up meeting if needed.
