Getting Started

Decorating Den Interiors and Mary Elliott bring over 25 years of experience right to your home or office. Mary will be asking lots of questions because she wants your home to represent your family and for you to love it! The initial appointment typically lasts about an hour. Larger projects may require more than one appointment. Then, Mary will go to work creating a design vision that matches top quality home furnishings products with the lifestyle look you desire whether it is traditional, transitional or contemporary. She will work with you from the idea stage all the way through delivery and installation of products.

Investment

People are often shy to discuss how much an interior design project costs but for both parties it is by far one of the most important aspects of your initial consultation. You may not know how much things cost and Mary will work with you to determine a budget that accomplishes your overall project goals. You may choose to work on one room at a time or the entire home. The investment in your home will pay dividends in comfort, expert design and longevity.

Making Selections

Every project presents its own unique set of circumstances. Mary prides herself on working side by side with you to accomplish your design vision. She’ll discuss the specifics of your project, help determine the budget and make some preliminary design suggestions. No project is too big or too small. Depending on the size of the project, she may be able to get started with just one meeting. Back at her studio, interior decorator Mary Elliott will begin to plan out the space she is decorating and start to make selections to suit your style and circumstances.

Design Plan

Mary will return to your home or office once her design plan is complete. She will bring a floorplan and samples representing the products she has chosen for her your design. Decorating Den Interiors feature a very wide selection of furniture and furnishings including rugs, lighting, custom drapery, wallpaper and so much more. As your products are ordered from a wide range of vendors, items arrive separately and are stored until everything arrives. Some things may arrive within weeks, custom furniture may take several months.

Reveal Day

You’ve waited a long time for installation day, surely the most exciting day for both you and Mary! It is advisable for Mary to be left alone in your home to supervise the sub-contractors who will install window treatments, hang light fixtures and place rugs and furniture. If you were having paint and wallpaper installed, that may happen earlier to avoid paint spills on your new furniture. Mary will call you to return home when everything is perfect. There is nothing nicer than having left your home in the morning then returning later to see the final reveal. Enjoy your new space — hiring an interior designer is worth every cent!
