Our Process

Discovery Call: EM Interiors offers everyone complimentary 15–20-minute discovery call during which general scope of work and design needs are discussed to determine how we can fulfill a potential client’s vision.

Consultation: If the potential client wishes to proceed following the discovery call, an in-person or video meeting is scheduled, where we gain a comprehensive understanding of a client’s interior design needs; level of investment and professional fees are discussed; and designer may photograph and take preliminary measurements of spaces to be designed or re-designed.

Conceptual Design Phase: If the client wishes to proceed following the consultation, and once our Letter of Agreement is signed, we will obtain floor plan information, take detailed measurements and photos, and collect from the client inspirational photos and other details about style preferences. If any trade work is to be conducted, designer will meet with those tradespeople on-site to discuss scope of work and obtain estimated quotes. The designer will then create and present to the client a conceptual floor plan for each space including furniture, furnishings, lighting plans etc. The presentation will include conceptual design boards and renderings with options for color schemes, furniture, furnishings and fixtures, and budget estimates.

Final Design Phase: Once a conceptual design is approved, the designer will create and present a detailed floor plan, detailed design board and rendering, and final quotes for items and any construction work.

Procurement and Execution: Once the final design is approved, we will begin ordering items and overseeing the execution of the design. This includes project management, communication and coordination with architects, contractors, and tradespeople. Purchased items will be held in temperature-controlled storage until installation day(s), when our team will install and transform the space into the complete design.

Then our favorite moment - seeing a client’s joy at the reveal of their vision come to life!
