Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge for a consultation?
Yes. Our Initial Consultation is so much more than just a meet and greet. This is a working meeting where we will delve into the design dilemmas you are having with your home; we will openly discuss options and I will give you ideas on how I am envisioning your space. I don’t believe in keeping ideas to myself during the consultation and would have a hard time doing so. I would much prefer you come away with actionable feedback you can implement on your own or an understanding of the direction I am moving towards if you decide to continue with additional design services through Sunrise Design.
What is the biggest benefit of working with Sunrise Design?
We are here to help with relieve you of the overwhelm and stress that comes with building or remodeling your home. At Sunrise Design, we take the time to listen and understand our client’s desires for their home and will walk you through selecting finishes and layouts that will meet the desired results. We will show you how your home will come together through 3D renderings, product samples and concept boards. We prevent headaches and having to resort to the “eeny-meeny-miny-mo” option. With the big decisions all out of the way, you can relax and enjoy the building process of your new home or remodel.
When should I hire an interior designer?
While you can hire an interior designer at any point in the process, it is generally best to have one on your side and working as your advocate as early as possible, especially if your project involves construction. An interior designer can review plan sets and make sure there is enough usable space to meet your goals. We will work with you to source and specify all materials and finishes, allowing your contractor to get accurate bids to manage your budget. We can also create 3D renderings for you to see your space before any work begins, creating fewer change orders after construction has started.
How long will our project take?
Generally, the design phase of a project takes about four to six weeks depending upon how large the project is and how many spaces we are designing. It is not as fast as they make it look on TV and in fact, the design process should be done carefully and with thought. These are important choices and as your advocate, I can make sure we do not rush through them. For additions or whole-house construction, this process can be longer. When it comes to the construction phase, the timeline depends on the scope of the project and will be determined by your contractor.
How involved are we in the design process?
As much or as little as you would like and feel comfortable with, but my most successful designs have been ones that were collaborative with my client. A design is elevated when all parties are involved and excited by the possibilities of the creative process!
Do you manage my entire project?
No. Sunrise Design is not set up as a general contractor and does not offer project management services. When you go into contract with your builder or contractor, that person or company will act as your Project Manager. However, we do provide ongoing design consulting during the construction phase in which I am able to communicate with your contractor or subs, answer any additional design questions that may come up, visit the job site during construction & installation to “keep an eye on things,” and to make sure that what is being built & installed is according to the design we have created together.
What about budget, how does that work?
Having a clear budget is very important for the project running smoothly and for your expectations to be met. We will work inside your budget parameters, but ultimately it is up to the client to keep themselves on budget.
How much will I invest in inteiror design services?
This will vary depending on the size of the project and scope of work. We start off with an Initial Consultation at $295, which may be all you need to get your project rolling. Our design services, including 3D renderings or finish selection packages, start at $750 for a single room and can range from $4000-$7000 for a full home Comprehensive Design. With the average new home cost of nearly $400,000, your investment would only be about 1-2% of your home’s value in order to guarantee you are satisfied with the design of your new home.
How do we get started?
It’s simple and fast: email me or give me a call to set up an initial, 15-minute discovery call! This is a quick ‘meet and greet’ call where I learn a little about you and your project. I’ll send you my ‘Getting to Know You’ questionnaire and invoice for an Initial Consultation. At the consultation we will discuss your design dilemmas and I will give you actionable advice on your design project. If you’d like to continue working with me for additional Design Services, we will review and sign your contract at the end of your consultation.
