PAINT CONSULTATIONS
-
- One- Time Design Consultation
Ideal for the person who solely needs help with determining paint colors. Whether you need help with interior and/or exterior paint schemes, stain color ideas or general guidance on how to achieve a cohesive color scheme throughout your home, this option is for you!
- One- Time Design Consultation
- We feel that an initial consultation adds considerable value to any design project, therefore, yes, it is considered billable time. The billable rate for the initial consultation is different than our standard design rate and applies only to your initial consultation.
- For any Full-Service project, time is billable by the hour. Billable tasks can included, but are not limited to: travel time, creating drawings, pulling selections and reselections of all applicable items such as wallpaper, fabric, furniture, lighting, and accessories, etc.
- Our stand alone Paint Consultations are priced at a flat rate.
- We use the initial consultation as a way to gain insight about your project as a whole, your goals, design style, and assess needs. It’s also a great way for us all to get to know one another! Additionally, we may measure for space plans, make “to – do” lists and take photos if we choose to have your consult on site.
- Be prepared to answer questions about things like your budget, timeline for your project, and design goals, as well as discuss your lifestyle and how you want/need your spaces to function.
- We will put together a Letter of Agreement that covers everything we are responsible for accomplishing in regards to your project, your designer’s hourly rate, terms and conditions, etc.
- Once your Letter of Agreement is read, understood and signed your designer will get to work pulling together a plan for your project, making selections, choosing paint colors. Whatever the goals of your project are, your designer will start working to achieve them. You may then have another face to face meeting to discuss potential selections or you may receive digital presentations. It is all dependent on YOU and what’s best for YOUR project!
- No! However, ask that if you anticipate wanting to shop for things on your own, to discuss this with your designer up front! If you have specified that you want “full-service” help, your designer will assume you want them to handle every detail! Knowing up front that you wish to shop on your own will save you and your designer time in the long run.
- We also ask that once a design plan has been started that you not make any major purchases without consulting with your designer. They have a vision in mind and the selection, while it may be great, it may not be a great fit for the design, space or budget. As for any items being presented to you for purchase through House Dressing, you will be given detailed specifications about these items for your consideration.
No, we do not offer returns on custom orders.
Shipping times vary between vendors. Before any purchases are made, we will make you aware of estimated arrival time and ensure that it aligns with your project timeline. In the event of a sudden change in availability or ship time, we will relay any and all updates to you as we receive them.
We bill for all project materials ordered on your behalf. We bill by the hour for all time spent on your project (full service projects) which can include travel, communication (written and verbal), shopping, sourcing, workroom pickups and deliveries, site visits, progress meetings and installation.
