The process explained
Day 1 – Home assessment & making a wishlist
Prior to your design store tour Karen visits you at your home. You share your vision and design ideas, and what you want to achieve.
With an expert eye, your space is assessed, easy changes are identified and made for any quick wins before your design store tour day. This includes taking stock of your existing pieces, identifying the things you love and the things you are willing to refurbish or move along. It may include moving your existing furniture around in the room. Karen also measures-up the rooms for spatial planning purposes. This in-home assessment is vital, it allows for a clear understanding of your personal style preferences, and sets a compass bearing for your new-look destination. You then compile a wishlist of what you want to shop for, this may include furniture, rugs, drapery fabrics and decor accessories including artworks.
Day 2 – Tour day
