I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about how the process works with Magnolia Design Studio, so here’s a little behind the scenes look into what we actually do.
Every project starts with a complimentary consultation phone call, FaceTime, or in person to see if we’re a good fit for your project and communication style.
From there, I take your plans (or personally measure the space myself) and build everything into my 3D rendering software. Before construction is complete, sometimes before the dirt pad is even poured, we’re already visually walking through your future home. If you’ve done research you know you hire an interior designer before you have even pulled permits.
We go through preliminary renderings together, make revisions, fine tune layouts, cabinetry, lighting, finishes, paint colors, hardware… all before expensive decisions are made on-site.
Once the vision is finalized virtually, I coordinate selections with local vendors, roofing, brick, tile, plumbing, lighting, countertops and more to make sure every detail works cohesively together.
Because building a luxury home is so much more than picking pretty finishes off Pinterest.
Brick alone has dozens of variables that completely change the final look, mortar color, grout lines, flush vs raked joints, slurry washes, sack washes… the details matter more than people realize. Two homes can use the same brick and look completely different depending on application.
And I think one of the biggest misconceptions about hiring a designer is that we’ll force our style onto your project or make things feel financially unattainable. I do neither.
Every project is tailored specifically to the client and how they want their home to feel. My job is to refine your vision, not replace it. And I’ve worked hard to create pricing that feels approachable, with payment plans available because thoughtful design should feel accessible when you’re making one of the biggest investments of your life.
Luxury isn’t about square footage. It’s about intentionality, functionality, flow, and creating a home that still feels timeless years from now. ✨(pic is of a MIL suite that I’m working on 👀🩷)
