How to Prepare for Your First Appointment with an Interior Designer at Willis Furniture

 

Whether you are starting from scratch with an empty room or simply accessorizing, we provide a custom and personal service that will meet your every need. Our dedicated designers will guide you through the entire process so you get the home you want and love!

 

We feel the relationship between designer and client is one of collaboration. We will listen to your ideas, make suggestions, sketch our concepts. As a team, we will work together in the selections of furniture, accessories, art, flooring, window treatment, or whatever is needed to reach your dream. We work on all levels of projects from re-staging a home with the client’s existing items to assisting in new construction to designing the total home.

 

We find that once client’s schedule an appointment with our interior design team, they are filled with excitement and anticipation. We would welcome you to put that energy of yours to good use. Doing so can speed up the design process and help us, help you! Here is a checklist of what to prepare for your upcoming interior design consultation appointment:

 

Clarify Your Style

 

Let us know which style of design you’re gravitating towards. If you don’t know what the name of your style is, think about what styles inspire you in general: share your favorite fashion designers with us, think about hotels or restaurants with decor that blew you away, or try out our style quiz.

 

Prepare a Mood Board

 

You can do this by using torn out magazine clippings to show us spaces and colors that inspire you or try creating Pinterest board full of ideas you can collaborate on with your designer.

 

Think About Your Lifestyle

 

Style is important, but even more important is how you live in a space. We need to get to know your lifestyle as well as your preferred decor style, but make sure to notify your designer if something doesn’t get brought up otherwise.

 

 

Budget & Investment

 

Be honest with your designer about what you want and what you can invest in your project. Once we understand the scope, goals, and priorities we can talk to you about how those investment dollars would fit into your project.

 

 

Our design services are complimentary to all clients who purchase through Willis Furniture.

Once we decide on your furniture pieces, colors, fabrics and finishes, your order will be placed. Upon arrival of your furniture, we will schedule our Red Carpet Delivery and furniture set up.

 

The home of your dreams is our goal, and we at Willis Furniture are committed to helping you realize that dream. For years, the design staff at Willis Furniture has been involved in creating some of the most beautiful homes in the Hampton Road area.

But how big should a rug be to look natural in a room?
