We believe that if designers and clients are clear about what to expect and on the same page about what the process entails, we are all likely to enjoy it a lot more. So here is how our process works:
​
1. The meeting
We offer a courtesy 1 hour first meeting. This is where we evaluate our compatibility, share our experiences and learn about the scope of work.
2. Programming
This is the information gathering phase. It is when we get into details about the project, timelines, budget and expectation. This is when we get to know you and help define goals for the project. (5 - 15% of the design process)
​
3. Conceptual Design
Our team formulate preliminary broad-based concepts and floor plans. Design decision about character, function, and aesthetics are presented. Including direction of color palette and space planning. (15 - 20% of the design process)
​
4. Design Development
This is also a creative phase. During this phase we further develop and finalize the design scheme. All furniture, fabric, finishes, fixtures, tile ans stone, hardware, and lighting are selected. We also offer 3D renders for easier visualization of the space. (25 - 30% of the design process)
5. Specifications and Drawings
Based on previous decision our team prepare the Design Drawings, specifications package and schedules that provide clear instructions to the architect and builder. (30-35% of design process)
​
6. Construction Administration and Furniture Installation
This is usually the most rewarding phase. All the design decisions become real as the walls are built, mechanical, electrical and lighting systems are installed; and finishes are applied. After that furniture, rugs, window treatments, art and accessories are installed.
We oversee this phase with close eyes, to ensure items are received in good condition, installed correctly, and that documents have been followed properly. (5-15% of design process)

"There are many excellent professional interior designers but Kitchy is an OUTSTANDING one! Her creativity, decorating style and taste, professionalism, flexibility, and accommodating style are exceptional! She made my husband and my kitchen and living room remodel a huge success! We love the results of having a beautifully remodeled home of which we are very proud!
When Kitchy first met with me and I gave her my wish-list, little did I know that she would return a week later with options to resolve the problematic "too-small-kitchen" to create my dream kitchen! She produced creative plans to overcome the obstacles other decorators could not seem to overcome to my liking. With Kitchy's depth of talent, "mixed well" with her caring to satisfy the client's wishes, budget restrictions and needs, Kitchy will keep us as dedicated clients for all future projects!"
