My Design Process
Welcome to Aime Van Dyck Interiors!
To gain a better understanding of my style and aesthetic, please feel free to browse my portfolio for a closer look at my latest projects. If you believe that we might be a good match, please take a moment to fill out the online questionnaire. I'm always interested in hearing every detail, so don't hold back!
Let's Discuss: Discovery Call and Initial Consultation
Our design process commences with a free 20-minute phone call where we can delve deeper into the specifics of your project. This call is an ideal opportunity to discuss your stylistic and functional requirements.
After the discovery call, we'll arrange an initial consultation to proceed further. This consultation is not your typical design meeting; it's a comprehensive information-gathering session aimed at creating a detailed proposal for your project. We'll work together to establish objectives, timeline, and budget to create a customised plan.
Please note that there is a $200 fee for initial consultations that can last up to two hours.
Proposal: Keeping Your Project on Track
To ensure that all parties involved stay on the same page, I will provide a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and associated fees.
The Design Phase: Crafting Your Vision into Reality
After hammering out the crucial details, it's time to get creative! I will work closely with you during the design phase to refine your vision. This stage begins with research and development, where you'll complete a comprehensive design questionnaire and share private Pinterest boards. We'll then schedule a meeting to evaluate and share detailed floor plans.
The next step is specifying and sourcing, where every item we plan to purchase – from furniture to fixtures to finishes – is priced. With a clear design vision, we'll leave no stone unturned in our search for the perfect pieces. For any necessary project components, we'll collaborate with a network of trusted builders and tradespeople.
Once everything has been meticulously planned out, we'll present the full design plan to you. During this meeting, you'll have the opportunity to review every aspect of your custom project, see and feel samples, and collaborate on any necessary revisions.
Procurement Phase: Let Me Handle It
Once the design plan receives final approval, you can relax knowing that I'll take care of everything else. From purchasing to tracking, I'll handle all of the administrative tasks, making sure each product is received.
Moreover, I will provide continuous site visits and collaborate with your builder during the construction phase to ensure that every detail comes together effortlessly.
Installation and Styling: Bringing Your Home to Life
No matter the size of your project, I meticulously plan and coordinate the installation process, which typically takes between one to five days. My goal is to ensure that every furniture piece or rug is expertly placed, and all lighting, artwork, and window treatments are hung at the perfect height. On installation day, the styling process truly brings your home to life. I carefully layer accessories, create vignettes, and perfect every surface, ensuring that each detail is picture-perfect. My ultimate goal is to make sure that your home is entirely ready for its final reveal.
If you have any design-related queries, comments or would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out to me. I'm always eager to connect and assist you in any way I can!
