Interior Design Sweet 16

16 Things We Want Our Clients to Know

#1 Our Goal
We want you to be thrilled with the final product! We will strive to exceed your expectations. ***Remember this!***
#2 Let's Talk About It
Communication is the key to a successful project. Respect is equally important. We believe in timely and accurate communication. Our team consists of working parents. We value our family time and yours. Non-emergencies will be addressed during normal business hours.
#3 Problem Solving
Things will go wrong. This is not an exact science. Our team has the experience to address and resolve any issues we may encounter.
#4 Enjoy the Process
Enjoy the process! Don’t stress! That’s our job!
#5 Timing is Everything
Timely decisions will keep your project moving. Timelines slip and product availability changes when decisions are delayed.
#6 Money Talks
Prompt payment of retainer requests, deposits, and invoices will keep your project on track. Slow payments cause the project to lose momentum. For this reason, we collect in advance for design services and materials.
#7 Does the Shoe Fit
Just because you love something doesn’t mean it’s right for you or your home. We will provide you with a form, fit, and function design.
#8 Mrs. Kravitz
Your neighbors are not in charge. Your project is not their project. We work for you.
#9 Too Many Cooks
Your friends and family members are not your designer. Too many opinions, even from well-meaning people, end up costing you time and money. You have hired us. Trust us.
#10 We're Only Human
People build things, create things, and install things. The items for your project are no exception. There are industry tolerances for construction, furnishings, and fabrics. It is our job to determine what is within the industry tolerances based on our experience.
#11 Best Guestimates
Lead times are quoted by our suppliers and contractors. We do not set ship dates or completion dates. Please be prepared for longer lead times as many factors can impact the timelines.
#12 Final Sale
Custom and special-order items cannot be returned.
#13 Surprise in not an Emergency
Birthdays, Holidays, Parties, and Guests do not speed up your project. We want to complete your project in a timely manner. Rushing our team and applying pressure does not change the schedule. However, it does take the joy out of the project. Please be patient and allow us the time needed to get it right.
#14 Everything Happens for a Reason
Items can be backordered or discontinued without warning. If this occurs, we will work quickly to source a comparable replacement. In our experience, this usually happens for a reason and our clients fall in love with Plan B.
#15 Step by Step
Your items will be handled multiple times on the journey to your home, their final destination. Shipping, receiving, delivery and installation are 4 separate services and may be invoiced as such.
#16 The Big Reveal
We understand how exciting Installation Day is for you. It’s exciting for us too. We will invite you to see the finished product as soon as it is complete. No peeking!
