Amber Jordan Design has an established and collaborative approach to guiding your project from concept to completion with confidence.
Let’s chat…
We first get together to chat about your project. We get to know each other to assess if I'm the right fit for you. We will go over your story and vision for the project as well as your expectations for the budget and timeline. Based on our conversation, I will provide a design proposal, outlining my process in detail, your scope of work and my fees.
Concept
Once we've decided to work together we can then dive deeper into your preferences, lifestyle and how you'll be using each space. We work collaboratively to inform my concepts, which will be the basis from which the design will grow. By sharing inspiration images, looking at artwork and furniture might have and discussing your passions, an outline of the design takes shape.
In this phase, the design will be refined. I will provide a fine-tuned version of your floor plans and cabinetry drawings to discuss the functional aspects of your project in more detail. Colour and materials palettes will be curated to present you with the intended look and feel of the space. Lighting, plumbing fixtures and appliances will also be presented - these selections are based on years of experience and relationships with trusted suppliers to find the very best quality products for you. We will likely need a few design meetings in this phase to refine the design as you provide me with feedback.
Construction Documentation
Design Development
The design of your interior will be completely documented in a full set of construction drawings and specifications. This is all the information your contractor will need to price and build your project. This usually includes floor plans, furniture layouts, lighting and electrical plans, millwork drawings, a specification list of all materials, plumbing, lighting and equipment. A huge advantage to hiring an interior designer is having thorough and detailed information for your tradespeople. Your project will run smoothly with far less hiccups and problems can be solved before they are created. I am happy to collaborate with your architect or builder to execute your vision.
Decorating and Procurement
For a cohesive custom interior design, many clients include updating furnishings and decor into their renovation. This can be an important step to having your home feel coordinated. The selection of furnishings, art and decor is often carried out while we in the design development phase. The proportions, materials and scale of the furnishings are defined with the use of imagery and furniture plans. Upholstery, fabrics, drapery and window coverings are also selected. I am happy to design wit your existing furniture in mind.
When the design has been approved, the furnishings are sourced and you are provided with quotes. With years my experience over the years I have connections with a selection of trusted furniture suppliers, galleries and artists, ensuring you get the very best selection for your space. Once all is approved, I move on to ordering and coordinating all the deliveries. From large furniture pieces and installation of window treatments, right down to the arrangement of styling details.
I offer a turn-key service, allowing you to relax while I take care of all the details to make your house a home.
