consultation
A designer walks your home with you and recommends what will help it show at its best.
What clients saySometimes a home needs advice more than furniture.
In a design consultation, a designer walks the home with you and recommends the changes that will help it show at its best before it goes on the market. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Agents have praised Vanessa’s advice on paint colors inside and out, light fixtures, landscaping and using the owner’s own furniture. If the home also needs staging, your designer will recommend the right option.
