Your e-Decorator was
developed to address the design needs of clients who may not have the funds to hire
and work with a designer face-to-face, but still need a design plan for one or more rooms in their home. In addition,
it helps us broaden our reach to a wider market whereby we are able to service clients
who live outside the DC metro area who desire Decor by Denise's design aesthetic when reworking the interior of
their home. To determine whether this service is right
for you, ask yourself the following: - Do you have a very
limited decorating budget, but feel overwhelmed and cannot do it alone?
- Do you want to
incorporate good design principals even though you may mostly purchase via online and retail sources?
- Do you live outside the DC metro area, but desire Decor by Denise's design aesthetic?
- Are you comfortable taking detailed measurements and photos of your room(s),
and sending them to us?
- Do you have a design dilemma where you just need a little expert advice to ease your mind and
help you make the right choices?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions,
then our Your e-Decorator service is a good fit for you. What
Services Do You Offer? We offer three types of Your e-Decorator services,
which have been specifically tailored to the unique needs of our eDecorating clients, as follows: 1. Virtual Room Design. Our most popular and comprehensive eDecorating service is our Virtual Room Design. This is
where we provide you a comprehensive design plan for one or more rooms in your home. When you purchase this service,
you will receive the following: - Design e-Storyboard: A complete visual
room design board that includes the space plan for the room, images of color swatches and fabrics, as well as key furniture
pieces, rugs, lamps and artwork. A window treatment design is also included in the plan.
- Space Plan: A 1/4" scale space plan depicting all the key room elements and how they
should be placed in the space, including casegoods (tables, bookcases, etc.), upholstery items (sofas, chairs, ottomans, etc.),
rugs, lamps, artwork focal points and televisions (where appropriate). We also provide guidance on how large the TV
should be in instances where a TV is included.
- Detailed Shopping List:
A detailed worksheet that lists every item selected for the room and where it can be purchased. Electronics are not
included.
- Color Swatches: Swatches of each color (wall and accent
colors) selected for the room are included on the Electronic Design Storyboard.
- Follow-up
Support: For seven working days after your designs are delivered, we will provide you with follow-up
support (via phone or email) to ensure that we answer any questions you may have and that your design if fully understood.
- Special Bonuses!
- Discounts: When you purchase
major manufacturer brands and/or designer fabrics through us, you will receive up to 15% off the retail price. This
discount does not apply to online and retail vendor purchases.
- Monthly Design Inspiration:
You are automatically enrolled in our monthly eNewsletter to keep you abreast of money saving decorating tips and tricks,
as well as promotional sales and the latest interior design trends
Our Virtual Room Designs are priced as follows:
- Group A

- Group B Dining
Rooms, Living Rooms, Bedrooms & Home Offices: $595 per room*

- Space plan only pricing: $175. Includes up to two layout options per
room purchased.
2. Design Lifeline. Our second most
popular virtual decorating service is our Design Lifeline. Similar to the lifeline used in the
popular show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," this service was designed for those clients who need an expert
to call to get them through a design "rough patch." This service works best when we are called upon to solve
a specific design problem. For instance, when you just need some guidance as to which direction to go with color or
which sofa style to select, this is the service for you. When you purchase this service, our time to research, critique,
review photos/plans and provide decorating guidance via email or phone is billed at $150 for the first hour and $75/hour for
each additional hour. Most questions can be resolved in the one hour timeframe. 3.
Designer Buying Service. Our final Your eDecorator service is our Designer
Buying Service. If you desire a "to the trade only" item for your home that you cannot purchase yourself,
we will make that purchase and coordinate shipping on your behalf. If you have found the item on your own that you want
to purchase, you will just be charged the retail price of the item. If you haven't selected an item, but know what you
want and need, we will select up to two trade only options from which you will choose one to purchase. Again, you will
be charged the retail price of the item you select in addition to a nominal design fee of $75 to cover our time to find
just the right items for you (for up to two items for purchase). When you purchase an item through us, we manage
the entire process from order placement to delivery. And, if an issue should arise during the ordering process,
we take care of it on your behalf.
How Do We Get Started? To initiate a Your e-Decorator project, you first need to purchase the eDecorating service you desire. Once we receive your request, we will send you instructions on which photos we need and how to take
measurements of your room. We will also send you the detailed questionnaire we require for each Your eDecorator
project. Once we receive all the items we need, we will be ready to either schedule your Design Lifeline call,
begin work on your Virtual Room Design or initiate our search for the items you wish to buy as
part of our Designer Buying Service. Our Virtual Room Design process takes approximately
2-3 weeks per room to complete once we receive all your information. The other Your e-Decorator
services take less time to complete, usually 1 week, depending on our workload at the time of your request and the time
of the year.
