Our Interior Decorating & Design Services

Decor by Denise specializes in full-service interior design projects of all sizes—from one bedroom condominiums to 15,000 square foot homes.   As your interior decorating partner, we pay attention to every detail to get the job done right the first time—saving you time, money and peace-of-mind throughout the transformation process.    We offer services that span all three phases of the interior design process—Design, Implementation and Vendor Management services.  A detailed description of our services is provided below.

Space Planning:  Our goal with space planning is to fuse together the desired function and aesthetics with solid design principles to devise a layout for your home that not only meets your functional requirements, but also delights the eye.  Our space planning service provides you an interior "road map" that addresses the recommended size and placement of every key spatial element in the room—from case goods to upholstery, lighting, rugs and the television.  With this "road map," you can buy with confidence and speed the selection process because you have narrowed down the possibilities before you ever step into a showroom.  Our space planning service includes the following:

* Detailed room and existing furniture measurements
*
Digital photo capture
* Up to 3 aerial view layout drawings, drawn in 1/4" scale

3D Modeling:  Some clients are able to envision what their new interior will look like when shown space plans, the color palette, materials, furniture and fabrics, while others need a little extra help visualizing how the design elements will "come to life" once implemented.  This is especially true when embarking on remodeling efforts such as bathroom updating, fireplace refacing and the like.  Our 3D modeling service provides a 360 degree view to help clients see what the end result will be in a more realistic fashion so that they can tweak the design if need be before execution.

Color Palette Development:  Unlike some of our competitors, we do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach to color selection.  As such, we provide each client a custom color palette tailored specifically to his/her project.  In addition, we believe selecting the wall color is just one step in the process of color palette development.  While others may simply pick a wall color, we take color selection one step further to develop a palette for each room--complete with accent colors that may be implemented in fabrics, finishes and/or accent walls to complete the room's color strategy.  We also remove the "guess-work" in selecting colors by testing every color in the client's home or property before we make a final decision.   This in-home testing is critical because architectural features, lighting, interior layout, other colors in the home, flooring, cabinetry, the quantity of color and furniture finishes all vary the way a color looks from home to home.  By testing in your home or property before you paint, we ensure your complete satisfaction with the end-result before the first stroke of the brush.  Our color palette development process includes the following: 

*
Review of inspiration pieces, existing colors, preferences and Decor by Denise color trends
*
Digital photo capture of inspiration pieces (where applicable)
* Fusion of client ideas with solid design principles to develop custom color palette
* Creation of a color plan that details wall, trim, ceiling and accent colors
*
Ordering of large paint swatches to be tested in the home
* Selection of wallpaper and/or faux finishes as an alternative to straight color (where appropriate)
* Color tweaking to adjust for lighting and architectural variations (where necessary)
* Presentation board with all colors laid out by room for viewing
* Palette document that details each wall/trim/ceiling/accent color and recommended finishes
