The Process
Every project runs in eight steps. Homes and vacation rentals differ at a few of them.
Bespoke Residential Design
-
Discovery
A call to confirm the fit, then a simple questionnaire about how you live.
-
In-home consultation
We walk the house together and talk through your goals, budget, timeline and vision.
-
Proposal & onboarding
Your proposal and design agreement set out fees, timeline and budget.
Your part: review and sign.
-
Measurements
We measure and photograph the house, and any furniture you’d like to keep.
-
Design
Floor plans first, then furnishings, finishes, custom pieces and 3D renderings, presented with samples.
Your part: review and approve. We’ll handle the rest.
-
Procurement
We order each approved piece and track it to your door.
-
Trades
On renovations and new builds, we manage the trades until their work matches our drawings.
Your part: pay the trades directly.
-
Installation & reveal
We install and style every room. Then comes our favorite moment, the big reveal.
Luxury Vacation Rental Design
-
Discovery
A call about the property, the market, your budget and your plans for the portfolio.
-
Market & competitive analysis
We learn who books in this market, and why. That becomes the home’s strategy.
-
Proposal & onboarding
A proposal and design agreement set out the scope, fees, timeline and furnishings budget.
Your part: review and sign.
-
Design
A brand and a concept for the home, then every room planned around the guest.
Your part: review and approve.
-
Procurement
We favor trade-only brands and hospitality-grade linens, and log each purchase.
-
Implementation
We manage the work remotely and coordinate the local trades on site.
Your part: the payments.
-
On-site styling
Diana spends the final three to four days styling and closing the punch list with your contractor.
-
Photoshoot
Diana prepares the home and directs the photoshoot, so the listing shows it as designed.
