How To Prepare For Your Design Studio Appointment

As you will be making many decisions during your decor appointment, we suggest you do some research and come prepared. Look at pictures of kitchens and bathrooms that you like. Understand the differences in materials…laminate versus hardwood flooring, granite versus marble and quartz for countertops. Consider your electrical needs: do you prefer a chimney fan or micro-fan? Consider colour combinations that reflect your personality. Search the internet and magazines for Traditional, Transitional, Modern and Contemporary styles. Still not sure what your style is? Rest assured your experienced Design Consultant’s relaxed approach will help you.

To help you prepare for your future Design appointment, we have prepared a list of design options for you to consider: customization and décor needs. We also recommend you attend with your spouse or bring a close friend or relative whose opinion you value who can assist you in these decisions.

When You Arrive: How Do We Begin?

Your personal design process will begin with a one on one consultation, with our specialized Design Consultant. The first step will focus on the space layout, electrical and mechanical elements. Then the most important and fun parts of your home will be designed. You will be asked to select from a wide range of personalized materials, colours and styles to create your dream kitchen, inviting flooring concepts and inspiring spaces throughout your home. These design elements will set the overall style and colour scheme of your new home followed by the selecting of countertops, backsplash etc. Once you are content with your selection of materials, a Colour Chart and Floor Plan will be generated showing all selections. This is not the end but the beginning of making your dream home a reality.
