2 Hour In-Home Consultation

Welcome to Gracie Lain Design Studio!
Often referred to as a ‘Working Design Session’, this hands-on, in-home consultation will help ease your mind and help you to solve design problems—on the spot.

All of my professional design services begin with a two-hour in-home paid consultation meeting. This appointment is either a stand-alone meeting or a preliminary consultation before moving forward with further interior design or decorating services. And we come armed with samples from our studio library.

1. Stand-alone ‘Working Design Session’ - you are provided with actionable, professional design advice to kick start your project and make sure you are headed in the right direction. I can make recommendations on furniture layout; kitchen & bathroom design; suggested style of furnishings; paint color specifications; as well as ideas for selecting finishes such as countertops, backsplash, tiles, flooring, and lighting.

• I can also make suggestions on styling your home, providing guidance on how to accessorize a space, and advice on hanging wall art to get that ‘finished look’. At these meetings, I often bring samples from our studio library once we have assessed your needs via your completed questionnaire. Reviewing your completed questionnaire ahead of time, allows me to better understand your priorities & allows me to be best prepared for our meeting to ensure we are making the most efficient use of our time together. Sometimes the initial consultation is all clients need to continue with their projects on their own.

2. Preliminary Consultation - This consultation is a Information gathering & research phase. This meeting is a stepping-stone to further design services. Here I will take time to gather detailed information about your needs and wants for your upcoming design project that I will initiate for you. I will also take photos, measurements, and a video walkthrough of your home. I'll also review inspirational images with you to better understand your desired vision and outcome.​
During this consultation, I'll recommend which custom design package will be best suited for your project and clearly discuss the process for moving forward with the next phase of design services. I work with you to achieve your desired look & help you avoid costly mistakes that many homeowners endure during a redesign or custom decorating projects.
You'll begin the onboarding process by scheduling your 15-minute complimentary discovery call (Google Meet) under the appointments tab. Here you will also find a Letter of Agreement that will need to be signed prior to our call.
