Why Should You Choose a Full Service Interior Design?

Full service interior design goes beyond simple decorating. It’s a comprehensive approach that addresses every detail of your project. When you work with Welcome Home Styling, you won’t have to manage contractors, handle logistics, or troubleshoot unexpected issues. We take care of it all, ensuring that your renovation doesn’t disrupt your day-to-day routine, allowing you to focus on enjoying the process and looking forward to your dream space.

How Does Full Service Interior Design Add Value to Your Home?

Investing in full service interior design goes beyond aesthetic appeal; it’s a strategic decision that adds long-term value to your home. Here’s how:

Increased Value for Purchasers

A professionally designed space not only enhances your everyday living but also increases your home’s market appeal. Home buyers pay top dollar for thoughtfully designed interiors that incorporate high-end materials and quality finishes. While you enjoy your beautifully designed space now, it also serves as a strategic investment that enhances your home’s long-term value.

Personalized Style

Full-service interior design aims to create a timeless aesthetic, but it’s important to acknowledge that trends evolve. Our approach at Welcome Home Styling is to understand each client’s unique style and create a space that is both elegant and reflective of their personality. 

While we may incorporate some on-trend elements, we prioritize a classic foundation that will stand the test of time. Ultimately, our goal is to design a home that our clients will love for years to come.

Quality and Longevity

With access to high-quality and unique materials, custom furnishings, and trusted tradespeople, we ensure that our full-service design process provides lasting quality for your home. The team at Welcome Home Styling carefully chooses materials and finishes to balance beauty with durability.

What You Can Expect: Step-By-Step of Our Full Service Interior Design Process

Step #1: Fill Out Our Contact Form

Every project begins with reaching out to us via the contact form on our Contact Us page. From there, we’ll send you an email with our Service Guide and a link to our Design Questionnaire, so we can gather important details about your project before the next step.

Step #2: Discovery Call

During the discovery call, we’ll discuss your project in-depth, talk about your goals, and introduce you to the services that best suit your needs. Afterward, if you’re ready to move forward, we’ll send a link to schedule a consultation.

Step #3: Consultation

Consultations can be in person or virtually to fit your scheduling needs. In the consultation, we’ll dive deeper into your space. We’ll walk through all areas of concern, review your design preferences, and discuss a budget to ensure our ideas align with your expectations. Following the consultation, you’ll receive a Proposal and Service Agreement to move forward with your project.

Step #4: Concept Phase

During the fourth step, we move onto the Concept Development phase.  Now that we have all the information we need, this is where the magic starts. 

Measurement Day

We start with a full day of measurements to make sure we’ve taken into account every inch of your space. Detailed measurements are taken to ensure accuracy in the design.

Virtual Concept Presentation

After that, we’ll show you a virtual design concept that includes a digital mood board, a rough floor plan, and some color ideas. This is the first look at how your space will change. You’ll see suggested places for furniture, and design directions for each space with inspirational photographs for reference. 

During the concept presentation, we’ll also talk through an estimated budget for the whole project and per space. Once the concept/budget for each space is agreed upon, then we will move forward to the Design Phase.

Step #5: Design Finalization

In this phase, we finalize all design decisions and create detailed plans to guide the rest of the project. The Design Finalization phase is an exciting time, as it sets the foundation for the entire project. 

Floor Plans and CAD Renderings 

We provide floor plans and CAD renderings that include built-in elements like cabinetry, wall treatments, and custom furniture. This allows you to see exactly how everything will look and fit within the space.

Product Sourcing

Jessica has access to exclusive vendors that offer unique, high-quality furnishings and finishes, which aren’t available to the public. This will allow you to have products in your home that are both luxurious and perfectly match your style because they were chosen with great care.

Picking Out Materials and Finishings 

We handle everything from tile and countertops to paint colors and flooring selections. You will be able to review samples in person to ensure that the materials are exactly what you are looking for. We will also consider long-term material upkeep, ensuring appropriateness for your lifestyle.

Design Presentation

The Design Presentation is where we present all the materials and selections for the space in person, as well as drawings, 2D visuals, and costs for the room as a whole. 

If you do not like something about the design please let us know during the design presentation. We can make revisions to the design to better suit your taste. We offer two rounds of revisions to ensure that every detail aligns with your expectations before we move forward.

Please note that we do not itemize costs for items as the design will be within the budget agreed on during the concept phase. We select every item in the space for a reason and changing one piece can affect the whole design! 

Step #6: Project Coordination

This is where Jessica and her team’s full service interior design approach truly shines. Welcome Home Styling can help with small home projects such as installing new lighting fixtures or custom millwork to larger projects such as a complete bathroom remodel or a new construction home.

Managing Contractors and Tradespeople

Coordinating with contractors, carpenters, electricians, and other trades can be daunting, but Jessica takes care of all communication and project management. Her strong relationships with trusted tradespeople in Jacksonville ensure everything runs smoothly and meets the highest standards. 

Scheduling and Timeline Management

We understand the importance of staying on schedule. Depending on the project’s size and complexity, we’ll either manage the trades directly or collaborate with a trusted General Contractor (GC) who will coordinate all trades and oversee the timeline. While unforeseen delays can occasionally occur, we’ll maintain open communication and keep you informed of the project’s progress every step of the way. Our goal is to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth, efficient process from start to finish.

Step #7: Procurement and Installation

Once selections have been approved and paid for, we will proceed to the procurement and installation step. Here’s what you can expect:

Order Management

We purchase and order all furniture, accessories, and supplies. My purchasing manager oversees logistics, assuring on-time deliveries and resolving any difficulties that may emerge, such as broken items or delays.

Installation Day

On installation day, our team brings the vision to life. We handle the delivery of furniture, and install window treatments, hang televisions, and more! Jessica is present on Installation Day to oversee every detail and ensure everything is correctly installed according to plan. We prefer our clients to not be present so we show you the finished product at the end! 

Style and Final Touches

Once the major components have been installed, it’s time for the fun part: styling! Jessica and her team add the last touches and accessorize, including unique art and art pieces, decorative items such as concrete or wooden bowls with diverse fillers, faux florals, and personal touches to complete the space. This final layer is when the design comes together, bringing warmth and character.

Step #8: Final Walkthrough and Professional Photography

The final walkthrough is your opportunity to see the completed project in all its glory. We go over every aspect to ensure it meets your expectations and is ready for you to enjoy.

To capture the beauty of your freshly renovated home, we also arrange for professional pictures. Not only does this showcase the transformation, but it also serves as a keepsake for you to look back on the journey.
