THE DESIGN PROCESS
We're a small business that makes a big, colorful impression. Atelier offers a
comprehensive full-service experience that results in designs that reflect
each client's personal pizazz.
LET's TALK BUSINESS
aaWe begin our process with a brief phone call to discuss your plans for the project and our
general requirements. From there we will set up an Initial Consultation. This meeting is for us to
fully evaluate your needs, scope of project and budget. The designer gives you a Space Analysis
that describes possibilities, ideas, goals, functionality of the area, and general suggestions. This
is also when you and the designer exchange your Visual Dialogue, where you review inspirational
photos to build rapport and to mutually understand the desired aesthetic.
THE NITTY GRITTY
In order to make the magic happen, we prepare a written, customized agreement outlining the
specific areas for your review and approval. Upon signed agreement and retainer, we schedule a
kick off meeting to start getting down to the nitty gritty. This is when we meet with a contractor
any necessary trades people, analyze architectural drawings, measure your space, and more.
This allow us to have a comprehensive base to work from to start building up your design, aka
the fun stuff begins!
THE FUN STUFF
As you can probably already tell, we are a firm that religiously uses color and pattern to fuse
with diverse cultures, bringing each project a unique flare. Atelier begins each project by putting
together ideas and schemes consisting of fabrics, paints, and finishes to review with the client so
that we can understand what you jive with. Together you and the designer will start selecting
furniture items, fabrics, light fixtures, paint colors, wallpaper, plumbing fixtures, tile, and more.

THE NOT-SO-FUN STUFF
The creation of the project isn't always glamorous but each tedious step is necessary in order to
cross the finish line of gorgeousness. The actualization phase of the project is the most intensive
and takes the longest - this phase is not as fun but it's why you hire us!
First off we need to get everything ordered. To do that, we create formal proposals that include
each selected item and their details. We require that every item is approved via a proposal so
that both the designer and the client are on the same page about each aspect of the design.
Once all items and materials are finalized, our team prepares technical drawings to properly
communicate the design intentions in a formal visual format. Technical drawings include, but are
not limited to, AutoCAD/Sketchup/hand-drawn floorplans, elevations, furniture plans, tile pattern
plans, lighting plans, etc. Technical drawings allow us to evaluate and refine the design and
communicate design concepts to industry experts, including contractors, wallpaper installers,
painters, electricians, tile installers, carpenters and more.
Throughout the process, the designer is the coordinator of the entire project and oversees
everyone involved. Keeping each expert informed properly is a timely process, though is crucial
in making sure the project gets finished seamlessly. Our team is equipped to manage the entire
project and each of its tiny details so that there are minimal hiccups.
We take on the not-so-fun stuff so that you don't have to - you can sit back and relax knowing
aaaaaaaaaaathat we have your back and your best interest as our first priority.

THE FINISH LINE
We don't stop at project management - we are there until the very end. The project finalization
process includes furniture deliveries, for which our team is present to inspect all purchased
items. Once every item is successfully in your home, we spice up the space with finishing touches,
art and accessories. We make sure you are 100% happy and glowing with awe!
