What Is It Like to Work With A Full-Service Interior Design Firm?
Have you ever heard the phrase “full-service design firm” and wondered what it really means? It sounds great, but what are the benefits of working with such a firm? When you work with a full-service design firm like Maison Blanc Design, we handle all of the tedious tasks like tracking and storing inventory, coordinating with vendors, and managing installs. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at our services and how we offer a high-quality design experience for our clients.
Design
Each project starts with a consultation where we will meet with you to tour your space (in-person or virtually) and learn about your project goals. After our proposal has been approved, our contract signed and the retainer received, we will begin the design process. We will take site measurements and photos to help inform our drawings and design. If you're undertaking a new construction or remodeling project, we offer expertise in finish selections such as countertops, tile, plumbing, and lighting fixtures, along with bespoke cabinetry and more. Our expert knowledge allows us to collaborate seamlessly with architects and builders for your project. Before moving into the furnishings component, we will solidify these selections and project drawings. During the design process, we will schedule design meetings where drawings, furnishings, fabrics, and materials will be presented to provide a visual for how your new space will look and feel.

Procurement
Once selections are made and the design is finalized, we move into the ordering phase of the project. Our team oversees the ordering of all selections working on the backend to track lead times and coordinate all deliveries, item inspections, and any needed furniture assembly with our receiving warehouse prior to installation.
Installation / The Big Reveal
The moment you have been waiting for! We like to call this “The Big Reveal”. Once all construction is complete and all items have been received by our warehouse, we will schedule the installation of your new furnishings. Our team will place and style all pieces so that your home is turnkey ready for you! Once we are finished we will invite you into your new space for our final walkthrough for feedback and review of any outstanding items that remain before closing out the project. From here we’ll send you a care and maintenance guide and leave you to enjoy your new space.
There are many advantages to working with a full-service design firm. From concept development through installation, we handle every step in between. We provide comprehensive oversight of all aspects to ensure that our clients can rest assured knowing their space has been carefully crafted with them in mind. If you find you are needing help deciding what services will benefit you, please reach out so that we can find the perfect fit for you.
