At Claudia Giselle Design, our process ensures a smooth and enjoyable design experience. We begin with an initial consultation to understand your vision, needs, budget, and timeline. Then, we create a design proposal with mood boards and color schemes, adjusting it based on your feedback. After approval, we develop a detailed design plan, including drawings and material selections. We manage the entire implementation process, coordinating with contractors and suppliers to ensure everything aligns with the plan. Finally, we conduct a final walkthrough to ensure your satisfaction with the completed space. For more details, please refer to our Process page.

At Claudia Giselle Design, we create detailed drawings and specifications to help contractors provide accurate bids and estimates, ensuring smooth project execution. To determine your budget, start by assessing the project’s scope and defining your needs, such as the size of the space and the extent of changes. Prioritize your must-haves versus nice-to-haves to allocate funds effectively. Research costs for materials, furnishings, and labor, and include our design fees. We also suggest setting aside a contingency fund for unexpected expenses. During our design process, we'll collaborate with you to develop a realistic budget tailored to your vision. Contact us for a complimentary call to discuss your project and get started.

At Claudia Giselle Design, a typical interior design project takes around 3 months for the design phase. However, the total timeline can vary depending on the project's scope, required permits and approvals, and trade availability. We focus on maintaining an organized process with a clear timeline. Before your project begins, we will provide you with a tailored project schedule based on your specific requirements. To give you a visual overview, we offer an example of a typical timeline for a full-service, full remodel project. Please refer to this visual timeline to see what to expect throughout the process. This helps ensure that you have a realistic understanding of the time involved and what to expect throughout the design process.

At Claudia Giselle Design, we embrace the opportunity to work with your existing furniture and decor. We believe in the value of sustainability and enjoy reusing and repurposing items you already love. Our goal is to integrate your current pieces into the new design seamlessly, creating a refreshed and cohesive look that aligns with your vision. By incorporating your existing decor, we not only enhance the uniqueness of your space but also contribute to a more eco-friendly approach. We’ll collaborate with you to ensure that your furniture and decor complement the new design while meeting your aesthetic and functional needs.

Before our call, please prepare by outlining your project goals, including any specific needs or preferences. Have a rough idea of your budget to guide our discussions. Collect images or examples of styles and designs you like, as well as those you don’t like—understanding what you dislike is also very helpful. Make a list of any existing furniture or decor you wish to keep or incorporate into the new design. Additionally, note any questions or concerns you have about the design process. If you’re unclear on any of the above, don’t worry—that’s part of the process, and we’ll assist you. Contact us to schedule your Complimentary Call and get started.
