Our Design Process & Services
At Decor by Denise our goal is not only to help you realize your vision for your home or office, but also to help make the interior design process as easy and stress-free as possible.  To meet this objective, we have spent years perfecting our interior design methodology which starts with the creation of a "design roadmap."  Much like a traveler maps out his or her course before embarking on a new destination, our roadmap acts as our compass in guiding each and every home and office decorating decision as we work through the design process.  By breaking down the design process in this way, we are able to tackle each design element as discrete tasks, tackling them one layer at a time.  With each successive layer of the design, we use our roadmap to guide us until we have built a complete interior design solution, tailored specifically to your requirements.  By tackling the design process in this way, we eliminate much of the stress homeowners and businesses endure when they embark on an interior design project.  We provide our clients with a clear idea up-front of the process flow, the tasks to be completed and the deliverables at each stage—thereby making the creative process more palatable even to clients who are predominantly left-brained.

We specialize 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.  Our design services include:

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. 

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.

Window TreatmentsWe offer many options for both hard and soft window treatments.  From measurement to installation-we manage every phase of the process.  We have access to thousands of fabrics and, with our custom workroom, no design is beyond our reach.  We offer several advantages over our competition which include faster turnaround time, complete design flexibility, access to thousands of high-end fabrics at discounted prices and stringent quality processes throughout the fabrication process.  In addition to window treatments, we custom fabricate slipcovers, headboards, ottomans and other furnishings along with providing fabricated walls and reupholstery services to revive existing treasures.

Furniture, Lighting, Rug, & Accessory Selection:  With all the choices and options available in the home furnishings industry, the task of purchasing items for your home can quickly become daunting. That's where we come in. We specialize in wading through all the choices to make the selection process as smooth and worry-free as possible.  We know all the brands and can advise you accordingly to ensure you get the most for your money.  In addition, we have many trade-only sources we can draw upon, providing you access to high-quality furnishings at reduced prices. 

Kitchen/Bathroom Upgrades & Other Interior "Face-Lifts" Does your kitchen, bathroom or fireplace need a face-lift? Are you finally ready to build out that unfinished basement?  Do you need extra storage and just cannot find the right solution?  Let us help. From design to material selection and contractor management, we can help narrow down the possibilities and make your remodeling project as effortless as possible. 

Real Estate StagingDo you need help to ensure your property makes a great first impression when it goes on the market? Or, has your house been on the market for a while, but just isn't selling?  Our real estate staging service was designed with you in mind.  We will recommend changes to improve your home or property's resale appeal and, if you choose, will implement the changes on your behalf.  Either way, the result is a property that sells 30% faster and for 13% more.
