Anxious To Learn More?

Working with Designs by Des Interiors was an absolutely amazing experience. Des and her team have such a personal touch and they spend the time to get to know you and your taste. Never did I feel like she was imposing her style choices on me. She always struck the right balance between pushing me just slightly outside my own comfort zone and knowing me well enough to self-edit a design choice when she knew it may be a little more than I was ready for (even though I didn't communicate it to her directly). Communication was always clear and timely and there never were any surprises with the budget. I also loved how they treated my home with the same care and concern that they treat their ow...

The 6 Step Process

Our stages of the design process allow clients to customize their design services with us to follow the budget and project timeline. No matter the project, every client works through these stages of the design to complete their projects from start to finish. Since we work through an a la carte approach, not every client will go through all six stages, depending on how much design involvement is needed. However, each stage is designed to cater to the client so the project is completed the best way possible. Here is a breakdown of our stages of the design:

Client Portfolio


The Acuity Questionnaire Form


Initial questionnaire to build client portfolio. Questions are geared to help designers understand your needs and desires for the spaces involved. We will go over the evaluation of your space, discuss design style and goals, and general project information such as location, room type, etc. Every client completes stage I when the form is completed and the initial consultation is complete.

Initial Meet & Greet


30 Min Virtual Consultation with Designer


Through a free consultation, we understand the spaces involved and set intentional goals. We formulate some recommendations and discuss design strategies that can be implemented immediately. We will discuss the space(s), design and decor styles, quick on-the-go tips, and the overall Designs By Des design process.

Design Proposal


1:1 Proposal Discussion


Through a follow-up meeting, we discuss the new design for the spaces involved and how much involvement is needed from the designer. You get to see the vision through concepts that bring solutions to current spaces. We will discuss the mood board, investment, and timeline, and review the next stage for design implementation.

The Design Tour


Visual Design


Mood Boards: Building the Visual Design: Establish the decor strategy for the project. It is meant to create the vibe and overall energy the project will bring through a visual collage.


2D Concept Boards : Graphically Staging in 2D: Concept Boards are designed for a client to see a design strategy in one view. It is not to scale and is only for conceptual purposes.


E-Design : Space Configuration: 3D model built to scale that portrays the furniture spacing, layout, and finish selections for final specification.

The Specification


Shopping Experience


Procurement/Project Management


In this phase, we write out the specification to match the design and client budget. Once approved, we will work with our vendors to get the material inspected, tracked, and delivered to your home for installation.


We also offer shopping consultations for local clients based per hour. Through the shopping phase, we work with local and national retailers, resellers, thrifting finds, auction finds, and even manufacturers to get the lowest price possible to maximize the client’s budget.


The whole goal is to make the shopping portion of the design streamlined.

Client Reveal & Installation


In-Person Assembly and Staging


Seeing the design come to life is the most rewarding part! A full reveal of the design is installed in the home. An option that is offered to clients who are willing to go the whole way, we offer a complimentary photoshoot package of your design to celebrate you taking on this journey of self-care and development. It all starts at home.
