If I change my mind on which room I want designed after I've submitted my questionnaire, measurements, and inspiration images, can I transfer my design fee to a different room and start over?You can change rooms while you are in the process of pulling all of your components together. However, once you’ve submitted all of those components and our team has started working on that room, no changes can be made.

-
Do I have to submit inspiration images or can you give me direction?The steps to our program were carefully crafted to ensure success. The inspiration images are a huge part of making sure we are on the same page. We cannot begin your design until all of your design components have been compiled and submitted. Houzz and Pinterest are great resources for starting that inspiration search.
-
If I have questions, special needs, or requests or want to add information during the time my room is being designed, how do I do this?Please feel free to use the comment section of our questionnaire to expand upon your specific needs and requirements. You can also email us after you’ve submitted your online interior design pack.
-
How can I be sure that the furnishings you select for me will fit my room?Properly measuring your room is crucial to our design process. The information you provide us helps us create your specific design. We recommend measuring everything twice to double check your numbers, taking extra care to measure door openings. We are not responsible for any incorrect measurements.
-
How long will it take for me to receive my design?You will have your design in approximately six to eight weeks from the date that we receive your completed design pack (longer if there are holidays).
-
Will I be purchasing the items you recommend from you directly?In some cases you will have the option to purchase products directly from us when a custom or to-the-trade item fits your needs and budget. In the case that a product is to be purchased from a third party vendor, you will be directed to links shown on your online interior design page.
-
Once my online interior design plan is delivered will I still be able to communicate with you? What if I want to make changes to the selections?We can stay in touch via email. Our goal is to deliver a design that you are thrilled with. To this end, we are pleased to accommodate one change, be it one specification or substitution, per space. Any additional changes will be assessed and paid for via an additional fee.
-
Why do you require full payment at purchasing?We require 100% deposit on all orders for many reasons. One of our favorite responses (loosely quoted by Tobi Fairley) is: “If, after placing an order, you decide you don’t want that sofa, I can assure you that I don’t want it either.” Once a custom order is placed, it is non-refundable. Custom orders already set into motion cannot be paused or cancelled, which means production will conclude and balances will be due... Basically, we’re a design firm, not a bank. Those examples aside, there are many benefits to paying 100% up front: • It cuts paperwork in half (instead of billing for a deposit and final invoice). • Since we do turn-key project installations (where we do one delivery after all of the orders are in at our local receiver’s warehouse), you would still be required to pay for items in full prior to receiving them. • Projects move more quickly this way, as it makes the entire order process more efficient and allows us to complete your project quicker. Here’s an example to illustrate our point: Our vendors won’t ship your items until they are paid in full, so in the case of a 50% deposit, we would then pay our vendors 50%. They would send us an invoice when the item is ready to ship. We then send you a balance-due invoice. We process your payment, then pay our vendor. Some vendors still send paper invoices and only take checks, so this can add a week or two to the lead time.

What do clients expect to get?Full-service interior design consists of three major phases: Conceptual Design Detailed Design Purchasing and Execution Our full-service approach enables us to manage projects from initial concept through to completion, designing your home down to the final detail. It is our job to take care of the major and minute design details that turn a house into a home.
-
How do you handle purchasing?All purchasing and execution goes through Lustrous Interiors. Your purchase of interior design items (i.e. furniture, tile, fixtures, fabrics and other design materials) through us will serve as payment for our services during the Purchasing and Execution Phase. We charge commercially reasonable “retail” prices. We have developed and refined our process and are not willing to deviate from it. We do not offer options in design presentations, as we find that when we provide options, we end up with a very “vanilla” design. Meaning, everything has to be interchangeable, which is not how we develop layered, thoughtful, and detailed designs. Our true value is in putting together the mix. Options greatly detract from that. In addition, full-service interior design features to-the-trade pieces purchased through Lustrous Interiors. Although it may seem obvious in hindsight to swap out a few items for less expensive options, that isn’t how full-service interior design works. Our agreement is that we set a investment estimate together, then furnishings are purchased through Lustrous Interiors.

This is where we consult with our trades and vendors on site to review the project concepts and take detailed measurements in order to receive accurate quotes. (It is imperative to be on site with the vendors to discuss obstacles and options at the outset). Conceptual Design includes the following: · Floor plan(s) · Inspiration board(s) · Limited Initial selections · Updated investment estimate for approval During this phase, we will confirm the design direction, layout, and investment estimate of the project, with one revision offered. The one allowed revision will add time onto this phase depending on the scale of the revision.
