Why Good Space Plans Online E-design/ online interior design?
So you think you can’t afford an interior designer?
Or maybe you don’t know one? Does the process intimidate you? Are you worried you may lose control of your money and ideas? Not sure about online interior design? Or criticized for past choices in your home? Or…
Well then – let me tell you about online interior design services – or as we call it – Good Space Plans Online or “E-Design”
Many of us form our perception of interior designers from those home design shows on TV. Don’t be fooled though. They are so much more than how TV portrays them.
No matter where you live online interior design is a convenient, compassionate, available and affordable option to full-service interior design. All you need is a computer and an internet connection!
We created our online Interior design service as an alternative and sometimes addition to our full-service interior design services.
Then what is full-service interior design?
In a nutshell, it is…
1. Project Planning
- Get to know the client – their needs, style, priorities, lifestyles, budgets, dreams, and aspirations for their lives in their homes or workspaces
- Know their space – size, layout, limitations and assets
- Create drawings/plans and concept presentations for the client to visualize their completed space
- Get client feedback and input on concepts
- Create final drawings and plans and put them all on paper ready for bidding and implementation
2. Project Implementation and Bidding
- Once the design work is on paper, the designer then manages/oversees the project to completion.
For construction, working with general contractors, trades and suppliers to ensure it all goes as planned.
For furniture, purchasing, coordinating and overseeing the storage, delivery and installation of all the furnishings of the project.
Full-service interior design on HGTV looks easy, spontaneous and inexpensive but it actually has several industry-recognized “steps” or responsibilities in the process to get to that reveal moment.
Check the three new build projects that we want to share to familiar more with us.
It is a detailed process of communication, relationship building and focused attention.
It is not inexpensive because it takes a lot of time. Designers are paid hourly and/or percentages of the total project budget. Therefore, they take on a great deal of responsibility for their projects. Additionally, seeing projects to completion is an art in itself. For more on this check out the blog on Dwaina Sprague Interior Design on hiring an interior designer.
We hold a full session or sessions to evaluate your needs and have a complete understanding of the whole project, not just a brief design consultation.
Online interior design is the Project Planning
Online interior design is the Project Planning of the interior designer responsibilities and services. A good online design plan deliverable prepares you to do everything to create for yourself the HGTV Reveal equivalent. All the other steps to the “TA DA” reveal moment are left up to you.
As a full-service interior designer, I love the experience of our clients having the reveal moment. It is incredibly gratifying and fun! With Online Interior Design, you get to have the gratification and satisfaction of it through the Design Implemented Yourself (DIY) process. We are delighted to support our clients in creating that for themselves through Good Space Plans Online so they will save time and money with Good Space Plans.
