Design It Yourself Advisor

What Kind of Design Advice Do You Need?

Many homeowners today truly enjoy designing their own homes and are very savvy about choosing materials and furnishings to make their homes special. However, sometimes these "Design It Yourselfers" need a little help - either to get started on a new project or to make those final decisions that pull the whole design together.

With Sarasota Interior Design Group's "Design It Yourself Advisor",  you get just the amount of advice you are looking for without the need to sign contracts or feel that you are obligated to purchase any materials or furniture or anything through the Designer. It's simple... you have questions, we have answers.

Here are some things we can help you with:

"So How Does This Work?"

We want this process to be as easy and economical as possible. Good design decisions are based on looking at the whole picture and understanding your entire space. In order to achieve this, a site visit to your home is necessary to take photos, measure the space (if necessary) and see the existing furniture and decor. We want to truly understand your personal tastes, lifestyle and design preferences before making any design recommendations. 

During this visit, the Interior Designer will discuss what your space is currently like and what you envision it to be. Your "Design It Yourself Advisor" will answer all your pressing questions, so be sure to have some things to "Show and Tell" - flooring samples you are considering, photos of furniture you might want to purchase, maybe even that funky tile you are considering putting in the bathroom.

Besides answering specific questions about decorating or remodeling ideas you may already have, your Design Advisor will also provide specific recommendations of what she thinks will make your space truly functional and beautiful.

Let's make your space AMAZING by making all the RIGHT design decisions!

"How Much Will It Cost?"

 Design Time:  $75 per hour (minimum 1 hour charged per visit).

We make Interior Design very affordable by simply charging by the hour and focusing on what's important to YOU during the visit!

(Yes, we do charge for the initial visit because your Design Advisor will be providing advice and recommendations from this very first meeting.)

"How Will I Implement the Designer's Recommendations?"

All design recommendations by the "Design It Yourself Advisor" (including finishes, furniture, accessories and artwork) will be available to the consumer market either at a local showroom/store or online. There will be no need to purchase anything through the Designer.

You will continue on your DIY path, shopping for and purchasing all merchandise and contracting with any building professionals necessary to implement the recommendations.

NOTE: You may choose to hire Sarasota Interior Design Group for additional Interior Design Services in which we purchase merchandise on your behalf or work with your building professionals, etc. If this becomes the case, a separate agreement will be drawn up between you and SIDG.
