MY DESIGN PROCESS

A look at the journey we’ll be taking together.

My signature 4-step process takes the guesswork out of your hands and into mine as I help you bring your home to life. Here’s a look at the journey we’ll take together:

PHASE 1

Design Consultation

I begin the process with an in-depth consultation to learn more about your project needs and vision for your space. A home is a reflection of who you are, so we’ll dive into your story, walk through your inspiration, and chat about your budget and project needs. Since this is virtual, you’ll use my easy step-by-step guide to provide me with the measurements, photos, and videos of your space prior to the call.

PHASE 2

Design Vision

After learning all about you and your project needs, the next phase is the Design Vision! This step is essential when creating a home that feels complete, cohesive, and will speak to the furniture items we select. I start by gathering all the info and inspiration from your consult to create a mood board concept and layout plan that will guide the direction of your space. I then get your approval on both items to ensure that we are on the same page before I begin sourcing.

PHASE 3

Design Creation

Once the vision and layout plan has been established, the design creation begins! This is where I pull actual furniture selections, window treatments, and/or fixtures to bring the vision to life. I create 3 different design concepts for you to choose from with furniture selections. This comes along with a realistic 3D rendering of my recommended concept for you to see how the pieces will actually look in your space. There may be a few rounds of revisions here to ensure we land on a home design that you love.

PHASE 4

Design Implementation

After we’ve settled on a design concept you love, it’s time for me to wrap up the project and hand it over to you! You will now have everything you need to begin shopping and bringing your dream home to life on your own timeline. My final deliverables will be the final design plan with a master shopping list, layout plan, detailed implementation, and style guide for you to know where everything will go. If you’d rather I take care of this part and purchase it on your behalf, I’d be happy to help with an additional fee. 

 Frequently Asked Questions

Designing your home is a big step —
I want you to have all the info you need to make your decision.

  • WHO IS E-DESIGN BEST FOR?
    My virtual interior design services, or E-design services, are perfect for those looking for guidance, direction, and support in bringing their space together and are comfortable implementing the final plan.
  • HOW WILL I COMMUNICATE DURING THE PROJECT?
    Each client will have access to their own personal Client Hub that I will use to collaborate together and share project updates. We also use email to communicate weekly updates, send meeting invites, and for day-to-day communication.
  • WHAT WILL I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING?
    In order for me to get started on your project, I ask each client to take time to provide photos, videos, and measurements of their space before our Design Consultation. I provide a Client Homework + Measurement guide to ensure that it's an easy process! Lastly, you’ll need to set aside time to complete the Design Consultation Questionnaire before our meeting.
  • WILL YOU BE PURCHASING THE FURNITURE FOR ME?
    Due to the virtual nature of E-Design, Mutolo Designs does not purchase on your behalf unless specifically requested. I hand the final deliverables to you for you to purchase.
  • DO YOU SOURCE RETAIL OR TRADE?
    Typically, I source retail so my clients have access to the pieces and can purchase them without my assistance. I have access and can pull from trade sources if the client requests.
  • CAN I SEE SOME OF THE ITEMS IN PERSON BEFORE PURCHASING?
    Yes! I understand purchasing furniture online is not for everyone! Therefore, if you request to see / sit-in furniture before purchasing, I can recommend pieces from retailers that have a local presence where you live.
  • I HAVE EXISTING PIECES, CAN IT STILL WORK WITH THE NEW HOME DESIGN?"
    Great question! If there are pieces you'd like to keep in your home, let me know and I will incorporate them into your new design plan. I do ask my clients to keep in mind that as I establish a vision for your home, you may find that other pieces serve better in your space. In which case, we'd be happy to source some new options for you!
