Are you thinking about starting a renovation project or refreshing areas of your home but not sure where to begin? If you're debating whether to tackle this on your own or work with an interior designer, a discovery call should be your first step! This initial conversation allows us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit for your design journey.
A discovery call is like laying the foundation for your design project. It ensures we're on the same page before building your dream home. Plus, it's free, easy, and a great way to kick off the transformation process without commitment. Whether you have a full-scale renovation in mind or just want to refresh a single room, this call is the perfect starting point. But what exactly is a discovery call, and why is it essential for bringing your renovation dreams to life?
What is a Discovery Call?
A discovery call is a friendly chat between you and a designer (like me!) to discuss your ideas, needs, and goals for your space. It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other, understand your project, and see if we're a good fit to work together. This conversation typically lasts 30 minutes to an hour and is complimentary. There's no pressure to move forward – it's just a chance for us to connect and explore how I can help you achieve your vision.
Why is a Discovery Call Important?
Get to Know Each Other
Design is a collaborative process. This call lets us see if we vibe well together – trust and comfort are key in any partnership! Share a bit about your family, interests, and what you're envisioning for your project.
Understand the Process
We'll walk through how I work, the steps involved, and how we can make your dream space a reality. I'll send a follow-up guide after our call with further details about my process.
Set Expectations
We'll briefly discuss your budget, timeline, and any constraints, ensuring we're aligned from the start and that I have a clear understanding of the scope of work involved.
Feel free to ask anything that comes to mind – this call is all about making sure you feel confident and excited to embark on this journey.
What Happens Next?
After the discovery call, if we both feel excited to move forward, I'll send over my investment guide, detailing my services and how I work. We'll also discuss the next steps, which involve a two-hour consultation (virtual or in-person), followed by a proposal outlining the scope of work, estimated timelines, and costs. Once everything is agreed upon, we'll dive into the fun part: designing your space!
