When we begin to discuss design

In this 90min Design Meeting (onsite or virtual) you get to freely dream and express the vision of your project with us. We review your design needs and wish list first hand and reveal the full potential of your home. We look at any architectural plans you may have, look at what inspires you, how you live in your space, what is your design style, your goals and how it can be designed to best meet your lifestyle. We provide real information on furnishing your space by doing our ‘Budget on the Fly” exercise where together we determine what you are comfortable spending on items for your project and provide you with clear direction taking tastes, timelines and your budget into consideration. We will then determine the best service option based on scope including if our services for any exploratory research on costs is needed for minor construction type work (e.g. painting, wallpaper & electrical). Subsequently prepare for you a Letter of Agreement for the next level of our design services and design fee.

*The Consultation fee for this service is $485 and will be credited to any further design work we may do for you.

Provided that you are moving forward with us to develop the design of your Furnishings project (and no exploratory research is needed – this is a separate service and fee) we will schedule a series of meetings as outlined below in Inspiration.

Develop the design strategy

Here we begin to do our ‘Detective work’ we gather additional details with you on the project.

We review all your ‘look books’, your favorite websites, and any additional pictures you may have to determine the direction of your bespoke design.

We will also be documenting your space (measuring and photographing) to create to-scale drawings and renderings.

Getting the visuals and direction

We present you with the overall high-level concepts developed for your project so you can get visuals on the direction we are headed in for your design.

This will include a review of any mood boards or renderings illustrating your color pallet, major furniture pieces and space plan options to determine best furniture layout and appropriate sizing.

Creating and presenting the design

Once the overall direction is approved from the schematic meeting, back in our studio we then further flesh out, research, specify and develop the rest of your design.

We then present to you 90% completion of the designs taking into account all furnishings, finishes and fabric selections are in alignment with your budget.

Time to purchase

This is the final, completed beautiful presentation of your designs with all the elements needed along with pricing of each item all within the approved budget.

We present you with our separate Purchasing Agreement and receive down payments in advance for purchases to be made.

All trade showroom purchases are made through Casa De Z Interiors and retail purchases by the client.

We offer a concierge level of service where we handle all the ordering, tracking, receiving, storage, and installation of your new goods purchased by us.

(All freight, receiving, storage and delivery charges will be estimated for the client and billed at cost).

The final reveal

We offer white glove delivery service and on installation day we will be present to accept all deliveries of furniture, artwork, area rugs, window treatments etc. We will make sure everything is placed and professionally organized and styled to perfection for the grand reveal.

We are proud of the work we do and would like to have it documented for our portfolio. So we may also schedule professional photography at this time or at a mutually convenient date soon after install.
