How We Work By Sandy Kozar – Owner – Decorating Den Interiors | Kozar Design Team
D
ecorating Den Interiors – Kozar Design Team brings years of interior design experience right to your home. Our design team is equipped to help you determine the products and design that will work best. We’ll work with you to help visualize a design solution that aligns with your taste, space, and investment. Our personalized approach ensures that everything we recommend will fit perfectly within your existing furnishings and space. From the idea stage all the way through delivery and installation of products, here is what you can expect for a typical project.
Reach Out to Us
Fill out our online “contact us” form or give us a call at (865)392-6222. We always respond within one business day. Whether you just moved in or have lived in your home for years, we are happy to help you turn your design dreams into a reality.
Schedule Your Appointment
Call us & we will talk together for about 15-20 minutes to learn more about you, your project, and the ideas or design issues you have for your home. Next, we will schedule your complimentary consultation.
Complimentary Consultation – 1st Appointment
We know every project is unique. We will take the time necessary to help establish the scope of your project and the style you desire. Our initial design consultation is always complimentary and typically lasts about an hour. We start with a 15-20 minute house tour; this allows us to see your style (or discuss a change in style), colors and discuss function of the room(s). We will also talk about any projects you may want to begin immediately, or in the future. Then we will spend a few minutes “getting to know you”, your lifestyle, and priorities. This is our information gathering stage; we do not get into deep design work or
show product at this appointment. The more information we have, the more we can help you.
Investment & Retainer Agreement
During this first appointment, we will work with you to determine an investment range that accomplishes your overall project goals and timing. Our extensive variety of products means we can offer a wide variety of quality products that range from traditional to modern, and can satisfy almost any investment range with lifestyle, and luxury lines. We ask you to sign a retainer agreement with a 10% retainer based on your investment amount for your project. Your retainer amount is rebated back to you the day we install everything. This
simply guarantees our design time, as we typically do not charge “by the hour” when purchasing product. Before we leave your home, we take precise measurements, photo documentation of the existing space, and we will also schedule your design appointment to keep your project moving efficiently.
Design Begins
Now the fun part begins! Back at our studio the Decorating Den Interiors | Kozar Design Team gets started on bringing your new room to life, gathering together all of
your choices in style, fabric, colors, and create a 3d space plan to let you envision how your new room will look. This stage often takes between 5-10 business days based on the scale of the project, as well as lead times from other projects. During this stage we check inventory and availability and consider all of the information we gathered in that first appointment. We consider the quality, the style, the function, and longevity of the pieces we select for each design. We do ask that you stop shopping during this phase, since any new parameters in the room would oftentimes force us to start over and redesign for that new piece, delaying the process for you.
Design Presentation 2nd Appointment
The part you’ve been waiting for! We will present a digital presentation with high resolution photos of all your design options in combination with physical samples of a variety of design and product options all personalized and carefully curated just for you. We also will render the rooms in 3d to scale for you, so you’ll know exactly how your new space will look. Typically, we will present 2-3 design options for you to choose from.
