Interior Design Process

A flexible process

driven by you

Your Home, Your Story

Our process is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We recognize the uniqueness of each home and family, and the need to adapt to provide you with the level of care and level of attention you need.

Connect

After the initial phone consultation, we'll schedule an in-person meeting where we sit down to talk - about you, about Eminent, about how we can work together to realize your vision for the future. If you feel like we are the right fit for you, getting started on your project is easy. A simple letter or agreement outlines the scope of the relationship, and the design process begins!

Collaborate

Now the fun begins! In iterative cycles we discuss the project, present and share ideas, develop the design, and manage the details. Some people move quickly and need us to be efficient and make strong recommendations. Others take their time thinking about concepts before they choose a direction. We guide you through and keep things moving, but we won't rush you. If you change your mind or want to explore more options, we understand. Everyone is different and we are happy to adapt to your needs and style

Celebrate

From concept to reality, we are with you every step of the way and consistently advocate for you and your project until the very end. You can rely on us to coordinate, supervise, track, and orchestrate every aspect of the design – including working with suppliers, subcontractors, and building partners to make sure every detail is just right.
