CONSULTATION QUESTIONAIRE

Take some time to think about these questions. Once you’ve done this little bit of homework, you’ll be ready to talk specifics at your complimentary consultation.

1. What are my goals with regards to my design project? (Example: I want a totally new look; let’s rearrange what I already
have; do one room at a time; let’s get it done all at the same time, I just want a plan…)

2. How much time am I willing and able to devote to this project? (Some clients get very involved while others prefer to have their designer present limited choices.)

3. My budget is________________________________________________________
4. Timeline – I’d like to have my project completed by______________________________
5. Now we suggest you take a couple of hours with a stack of magazines about interiors, 2 different colors of sticky notes and a pencil. As you flip through the magazines use one color of sticky notes to mark anything you like and the other color to mark what is “yuck.” (Look at the entire page and mark any aspect you like or dislike.) Bring your stack to your first meeting so the designer can note your style, taste and color preferences. Suggested magazines: Metropolitan Home, Dwell,House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, Country Living, Elle Décor, Traditional Living, Cottage Living.
