Ensuring Project Success

Tips & Interior Insights from Lela Williams

From space planning to sustainable materials, we share real tips that you can apply in your home—whether you’re renovating or refreshing a single room.

5 Phases of Interior Design


All projects, large or small, start with programming. Interior Designers lead meeting sessions where they gather information to understand the project structure, space functions, and overall goals.  This would also include a site visit to gather field data. 

The Design team will then work on confirming the general location and size of all spaces in the project.  Multiple concept boards defining the “look and feel” of the space are shared.  3D views or renderings are shared and initial cost estimates are reviewed.

Design Development is where the designers dive into the final selected design details. All final selections of materials, finishes, and lighting are completed.  Product availability is researched, FF&E Specifications and schedules are determined, and refined cost estimate and client sign-off happens. 

Construction Documentation is the final review of all documents from permitting, construction, blueprints, and final plan markups.

Our interior designers & construction team will support execution, installation, & project punch list closeout for the entire job completion.
