Our Interior Design Process
Firstly, we're passionate about solving our clients' design challenges thoughtfully, honestly, and with meticulous attention to detail, all while keeping the process stress-free. Our goal at FiveTen - Interior Design by Alison Loiselle is to provide you with an unparalleled experience. We're here to guide you every step of the way, from the initial concept to the final touches.
Discovery call.
Let's arrange a phone call to introduce ourselves!
Your initial consultation with Alison marks the beginning of crafting a living space that truly mirrors your personality (or aspirations) and propels you towards your ideal lifestyle. In this introductory chat, you'll have the opportunity to outline your design aspirations and objectives, while we'll offer insights into the FiveTen design approach. This will help us both to assess whether our comprehensive design solutions align well with your project's needs.
Initial on-site consultation.
Brainstorming, goals and visions.
I'll come to your place for a personal tour, allowing you to share the aspects of your home you adore and, even more crucially, the areas you wish to enhance. Our meeting will be a collaborative brainstorming session focused on your project's requirements, ambitions, and visions, alongside an evaluation of your space's current conditions. I'll also collect the necessary measurements to proceed with the design phase.
Space planning.
Unvail the potential of your space.
After establishing your project's scope, we progress to the space planning stage. This phase usually includes a detailed survey of your space, alongside the development of initial sketches and concepts mapping out the possibilities of your space. I will share these concepts with you for your input and feedback, ensuring we collaboratively fine-tune the design to align perfectly with your vision for the space.
Design development and selections.
Once we have established a schematic design that meets your needs and preferences, we’ll define the scope of the project and move into the development phase. This phase involves creating mood boards and a design presentation to ensure your vision is fully being met. Subsequently, selections of finish materials and furnishes will be submitted for you to review. Throughout this phase, any changes or adjustments are discussed and approved by you before moving forward.
Purchasing, procurement and product management.
The Details Handled for You.
We lift the burden of the tedious and time-consuming ordering process from your shoulders. From generating all essential purchase orders to monitoring every order's status and ensuring everything is correctly received at our facilities, this is just one of the numerous invaluable services we offer you. Our comprehensive service spans from the initial purchase right through to installation.
