An interior design proposal should include a detailed breakdown of the services along with the price for each item (including overhead like taxes, if applicable).

Who We Are

At [Sender.Company], great interior design is our business and our passion. We believe that a house becomes a home when it's personalized — your space should show off your tastes and personality, work with your lifestyle, and maybe make your guests a little jealous. We know that creating a home interior that does all of these things isn't easy, and we're here to help.

Our talented designers bring 12 years of experience to the table (and couch, chair, armoire, or whichever furniture piece we're sitting near). From discovering your personal style to knocking down that wall that's been preventing the open-concept living area you've been lusting after, we'll make sure that your space isn't just aesthetically pleasing, but also a reflection of you.

We offer the following services:


On-site consultations
Project survey & analysis
Space planning & furniture arrangement
Design concepts
Finishes & furnishings
Custom designs
Purchasing, delivery, & installation
Project coordination & management

Thank you for considering [Sender.Company] for your interior design needs. We look forward to working with you and creating a stunning home that you and your family will love for years to come!

Sincerely,

OUR PROCESS

We understand every project is different, and each project goes through its own lifecycle. Keeping that in mind, [Sender.Company] is quite flexible in its approach. With that being said, we also like to keep some structure to match all the chaos — so we have implemented a system that works for our clients and ourselves alike.

Come take a peek from an insider’s perspective on how [Sender.Company] strategizes its projects.

We initially arrange a free consultation call with our clients to understand their project requirements. On this call, you’ll have someone from both our managerial and design team (such as an account manager and a decorator), so that you get an expert opinion, and a well-rounded understanding of the solutions we’re offering you and how much they would cost to install.

Next, if you wish to proceed further, we’ll send you an interior design portfolio along with our quote, which will help you glance over all the need-to-knows.

As soon as we have your go-ahead on the project, [Sender.Company] will begin work asap!

Communication is at the forefront of what we do, so every week we’ll host a 15-minute call to inform you of the updates on the project, what milestones we have reached, and if the project will require some course correction.

PAST PROJECTS FROM OUR PORTFOLIO

To give you a representative idea of what we can do, we have included some images of our past work. Included in this portfolio are designs that showcase the rustic theme, vintage theme, and chic theme.

Should you like to see what more we can offer (for example, if you’d like to opt for middle eastern furniture, or look at a farm-style layout, or go ultra-classic or modern, etc.), please let us know, and we’ll be happy to show you our extensive portfolio.
