PROCESS

Interior design is a fluid, non-linear process. An experienced interior designer such as Farrin Cary should serve as a liaison between architects, vendors, and contractors to ensure optimal results. Every aspect of space will be touched upon, from the color palette of the room to interior furnishing and accents. For purposes of illustration, here is a general overview of the various steps involved.

Initial Consultation

Conception is the spark of your design project. We meet with you to ask questions about your vision and listen to find out about your design and space needs. We will discuss the interior design process, your expectations and personal preferences. Communication, trust and mutual respect are key ingredients in any successful project. The initial consultation is free.

Site Investigation

Professional interior design considers the smaller details of a room as part of the larger vision of a home. During our visit, we will have a more detailed discussion of the area interior space being designed. We will assess your current interior and discuss what new design elements are being considered. At this stage, initial measurements are made of each room in the house such as the bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, transition areas such as hallways and foyers, as well as any additions to the home such as pool houses, guest suites and children’s play spaces. We will select color palettes and materials that reflect the essence of your vision. Informal interviews with you and your family are also completed to enable us to create environments that best suit your lifestyle.

Preliminary Presentation

Taking careful consideration of your vision for the home, Farrin Cary Design draws upon expertise and experience to propose the best interior design plan for your desires. We will present our design concept through the use of photos, floor plans, fabric, paint and flooring samples and other materials we recommend.

Final Presentation

Your selections from our time together are crafted into a well designed master plan. Our team will outline professional services and contractors to work with to bring your vision to life. The final selections and edits to the plan will be sealed with your approval. At every step of the way, we’re working together to bring the design to life.

Implementation

Once the design is approved, furnishings and materials are ordered and all painting, construction and other work is scheduled. We oversee the entire process to insure that the work is of the highest quality.

A fireplace is a stunning centerpiece to a living room, bedroom, or transition space, adding value and elegance to your home. We will work with you beyond the stylistic design elements to ensure your fireplace is installed with safety, function, and beauty in mind.

The hardware of your home has many moving parts to it.  Consider an interior door. We will discuss your preferred door styles within the context of the room’s design on both sides.
