Because Design Matters

Interior Design Services

 

The Process…

STEP ONE:
Everyone starts here!

THE DISCOVERY CALL
It all begins with a complimentary call, a meet and greet! Whether you are looking for full-service design, a few hours of time or you don’t know where to start, the Discovery Call helps sort all that out.

STEP TWO:
Always after the Discovery Call.

THE INITIAL CONSULTATION
This is the first step to all the additional service options. We meet in your home to give me an opportunity to see your space. Together we will discuss your project, the challenges you are experiencing and the solutions you hope to achieve. Sometimes this initial consultation is all you need to get started! If your project requires additional design services, together, we will discuss which services best suit your project needs.

STEP THREE:
Select the service that is best for you!

SERVICES PACKAGES
I offer the following services to busy homeowners who are needing the help of an Interior Designer.
Based on your project needs, one of the three services I offer, will be recommended:

You might want to choose Designer for the Day if:

Is Full Service Design right for me?

• I've seen Helen Faustino Interior Design's portfolio and I would like that level of detailed design in my home

• I would like to renovate or build a new home and need a trusted team of professionals to guide me through the process from concept to completion
• I am a busy home owner who doesn't have time to deal with all the details and decisions required; I just want it done!
• I want a home that is beautiful but more importantly, functional with quality finishes. I need someone to see the potential, create and manage the process to achieve the solutions
