An interior design styling consultation is the first meeting you have with an interior designer so they can get to know you and your design plan better. You also get to know your designer’s experience as well. They can be in person or over a virtual meeting. In the initial consultation, your stylist will ask you about your desired style and aesthetic, your budget, your project timeline, and what functionality you want to keep or change about your home. The point is to get a general idea of the project in order to set up a quote to achieve your goals with that particular designer. One of our stylist will meet with you for a one hour virtual or in-person styling consultation. They will discuss the scope and needs of your project so they can put together a quote to put your plan into action through an in-home design service. 

Inspiration Photos
Look through home magazines, pinterest or websites and collect images of what your preferred design style is so you can show your designer how you’d love your home to look and function, whether that’s your kitchen, bathroom, or other space. 

Photos Of Your Space
Provide photographs of the area you wish to style. This helps your stylist get a better idea of the space they will be refreshing. 
Pro Tips: Utilize natural light as much as possible. Avoid turning on ceiling lights in the camera frame to prevent glare.
Get a picture from each side of the room, from the same level, to give a rounded view of the room. 

Basic Measurements 
Take basic measurements.  Knowing the dimensions will help you and your designer to know what kind of space is available. 
Note: The dimensions do not need to be exact for your initial design consultation, though a basic idea of measurements is helpful.

Budget  
Your stylist will also want to have a general idea of your budget. You do not need to have specific numbers in mind yet. However, having a number that you don’t want to go over will be helpful for them to know the limits of your budget. 

Time Frame
What is your desired timeline to complete your remodel? Your interior designer will also want to have an idea of when you plan to remodel and how quickly you want to get it done. With these resources and documentation in hand, your interior design consultation will go much smoother by providing your designer with the most applicable information needed for your redesign.
