A Breakdown of FAQ's MBD Regularly Encounters
Embarking on an interior design project can be an exciting, yet overwhelming journey. Whether you're renovating your existing space or building a new home, enlisting the services of a professional interior designer, like Maison Blanc Design, can make all the difference. In this blog post, we'll address some frequently asked questions to provide you with valuable insights into what it’s like working with MBD.
FAQs and Answers:
At what point should I engage MBD's services?
When it comes to furniture projects, the timeline can vary depending on the scope. Generally, it can take 6-9+ months from our initial conversation to the installation of all pieces. If you're undergoing construction, we recommend initiating discussions about furniture 9 months in advance. This ensures we consider lead times and the design process effectively.
Furthermore, we love to be involved during the construction phase from the start. By participating early on, we can provide valuable input on decisions that impact the overall design. Our involvement in space planning, sourcing finishes and fixtures, and ensuring proper furniture placement guarantees a functional and cohesive design.
Should I involve you in the construction portion of the project, or wait to get through this and then have you looped in for furniture?
We highly encourage involving us in the construction phase from the start. Our belief in holistic design means we consider every part in making up the whole. By engaging with us early on, we can contribute to construction decisions that affect the design and functionality of your home. From color palette and materials to lighting and circulation, every detail ties into the ambiance we strive to create for our clients.
Do you have your own architects and contractors you work with?
Yes, we do have preferred architects and contractors with whom we have established successful working relationships. Collaborating with them offers the advantage of a streamlined and efficient process, ultimately saving you money. We can connect you with these professionals if needed. However, if you already have your preferred architect or contractor, we are more than happy to work alongside them and provide our expertise in both capacities.
