Our Design Process

Design services offered

Residential and commercial design scope is largely based on needs. The needs of the client and the industry parameters for the interior designer can differ depending on whether the building is residential or commercial. Clients in residential design are individuals or families, and the designer has to take into account the client’s personal needs and desires while designing living spaces.

Designers who usually work in homes may specialize in a particular area of residential design like kitchens, bathrooms, home offices, custom furniture, specialized work spaces, and home appliance design. Most people want their homes to be reflective of their own personal tastes and expressions of personal uniqueness.

For commercial design, the design inspiration comes from the corporate brand image and the design constraints are often tied to functional space limitations and commercial building code requirements. There is still a distinctive, personalized aim in commercial projects, but it often involves different textures, colors, and layout than is found in many residential settings.

Furniture plans show furniture selection and placement along with dimensions. Nell’s will measure a room, note existing furnishings, note built-ins, windows, doors, traffic patterns, and come up with a furniture layout for each client’s particular needs. Next, we will discuss with you furniture styles, functionality of the furniture pieces, purposes of space, and correct fabric applications. Nell’s will then assist with the final furniture design selections, order the furniture, and make arrangements for delivery.

The wide variety of lighting options can satisfy your needs for both form and function. Whether general or task lighting to get the job done or delicate accent lighting to create the perfect atmosphere, the right fixture can shed a whole new light on any room of your home.

However, installing a light fixture is no small task. The project requires working with electricity, which can be hazardous. A licensed electrician can install your new lighting, whether you’re simply replacing a fixture or running power to a whole new site. A pro knows how to install a light fixture correctly and quickly according to local codes. With a qualified electrician on the job, you’ll be enjoying your new light fixture in no time.

We create a Final Selections Form which is a list of all finish selections that need to be made in the home. This form includes items like kitchen and bathroom finishes and fixtures, appliances, light fixtures for each room, door handles and so on.

Artwork is a great way to add interest to a room, but arranging art can be stressful. The trick is to know where and how to hang art (and how many pieces to hang). With our expert advice on arranging art, your home will feel like a gallery in no time.

Custom upholstery is how one is able to design and produce something that is tailored to precise requirements. We are fortunate to have the ability to quite literally design anything our client wishes.

The benefits of designing custom upholstered furniture are that there is no compromise whatsoever. We always begin by discussing dimensions. You are able to achieve what you consider to be the perfect depth, height, and width to suit the rest of your room. In designing the frame, we are able to create the size, shape, silhouette and any flourishes that you wish. Many clients will bring a photo of something they have seen in a magazine. Together, we can use this as a base idea to build upon. This is something that store-bought upholstery simply cannot compete with, and it is why there is a real luxury to custom.

We use only professional fabrication methods and premium linings. Fabrics will be carefully selected to match your particular window (such as how much sun it gets) and colors and texture matched to the other decor and furnishing in your home. As your professional interior designer, we oversee every step from design to installation, ensuring the highest standards. It's this superior construction that makes custom window treatments last for many years (and saves you money in the long run, because you don’t have to replace them as often as ready-made window coverings).

Ren·o·vate : which means restore (something old, especially a building) to a good state of repair, or to make new again.

• In home construction, this includes re-painting, re-facing cabinets, installing new light fixtures, or adding other finishes and fixtures.

• The original purpose isn’t too drastically alter, but rather, to update to a new standard. Renovating a room in your home, if it’s the kitchen, will make the space attractive, and add value to the home.

• Remember that a renovation simply means you’re updating an existing structure with cosmetic changes, not significant alterations to the existing structure. For example, replacing your old fixtures with new ones is a renovation project.

Custom cabinets are storage areas which are measured, designed and built to fit a unique room. They may be mounted to the ceiling or the floor.

Custom cabinets are storage cabinets that are built specifically for the area in which they will be used. A professional carpenter or cabinetmaker can measure each space within a room and then plan and design cabinets to match the layout and measurements of the room. Custom cabinets are specially created to fit all walls, to open around obstacles and to reach the desired heights. This prevents the cabinet units from being too large or too small. They are built to order in a remote workshop before they are assembled onsite and installed in the home. Although most modern cabinets come in pre-made modular units, custom cabinets offer options for any design or space. Custom cabinets are especially useful in multipurpose rooms or around appliances that are not a standard size. Custom cabinets can be made from a variety of wood and may have wood, tin or glass doors.
