Let’s Get Started!

We are delighted that you’re interested in hiring Design on a Dime to enhance your space.

The first step is understanding the design process and setting a budget. Hiring a designer is a luxury that everyone can afford when working with Design on a Dime.  Your personal needs determine the amount you invest with your designer.  Allow us to stretch your budget and deliver a custom look that’s worth your investment.  Below are outlines of how the process will work.  We will answer any questions you may have at our initial appointment however if you have questions before then, please email us.

Initial appointment. (design service fee $595)

At the point of contact, an appointment is set by the designer to meet and get the scope of the project. This is a time set for you to interview and contract the designer to begin working on your project. Should you agree to start work on the project discussed, a $400 payment will be collected to start your custom design proposal.

The designer and client have now entered the contract and the project begins.

Second appointment.

The designer returns to your home to present design options.

Once a design is selected, the client is expected to pay the remaining $195 service charge toward their project. If you are purchasing any of the furnishings presented in the design, the designer will invoice you with the merchandise selected. You then have an option to have merchandise delivered to your home and you complete the design on your own according to the initial plan set by the designer or you can have the design team return and complete the project. This white-glove service is $595.

Last appointment (should you decide on the white glove service)

This is the most exciting appointment! Installation day is delivered in white-glove style.  A team of movers and your designer begins to transform the room into the design that was presented during the second appointment. This service includes accessorizing, organizing, and making sure everything is as you have dreamt.  Design worth obsessing over.
