Do you have a design dilemma you’ve been dying to solve? Have you been staring at that living room wall debating whether to do a gallery wall or sleek and modern bookshelves? Does your furniture layout feel more stifling and awkward than ever, now that you’re living in the space nonstop? If any of these sound like you, you’re not alone.
As we spend what feels like endless weeks in the confines of our homes, those design issues that once felt like a “one day” to-do have suddenly become pertinent. We need our homes to flow and function in a way that works seamlessly with our day-to-day activities, but also thrives in the style department. And yet - with the social distancing currently in place, it can be harder than ever to get the interior design expertise you crave.
Enter in our newest service: i-Design. Created to meet the needs of our clients looking to revamp their spaces or simply find solutions to design challenges within their homes, it’s a completely virtual collaboration that allows us to work directly with you to help you achieve a space you wholeheartedly love.
Why “i-Design?”
We knew in the wake of this pandemic that we needed a way to ensure our clients received the same high quality attention to detail we provide in every one of our projects. So a virtual option was created, and we chose a name that prioritized the letter “I” intentionally. Not only is it the first letter of INVIEW and indicative of our clients’ involvement in the process (“I design my space…”), but it’s also all-encompassing in the way we live our lives in this new virtual normal. We turn in these times to our iPhones, iPads, and more, prioritizing the virtual and electronic components in order to create community and connection. Ultimately, we wanted the same feeling of connection and collaboration to be clear in our work - especially since it is so reliant on virtual methods at the moment.
What does it include?
i-Design provides all the expertise of in-person interior design, but on a much more accessible scale that’s convenient for you. We offer an initial call to discuss your goals and budget, provide you with a space plan and detailed list of items (to be purchased by you), and finish the entire process with personalized design tips to make your space come to life and feel complete.
How do I get started?
All it takes to get started is to complete our style questionnaire to narrow down the aesthetic you love. Then, we’ll need photos and measurements of the space. And finally, a handful of images of your absolute favorite spaces and what it is about them that you adore.
And that’s it! Once we’ve got that initial information, your design process will be underway. With i-Design, you absolutely can have a space that you love, and since we’re all hunkered down to shelter in place for some time still, there’s nothing that makes it more enjoyable than a home that feels exactly and perfectly like you.
