Add value to your investment

Proper Design Studio gets the most out of your dollar per square foot.

Interior design is more than a nice to have. It’s a crucial step in determining how your space will look, function, and feel.

Great design should:

  • Integrate function and form seamlessly without sacrificing either.

  • Tell your unique story by way of the spatial experience and characteristics of the real estate.

  • Create a streamlined space that makes lives easier, comfortable and more efficient.

  • Boost brand awareness and your bottom line.

What to expect from Proper Design Studio

WHITE GLOVE SERVICE

We’re hands on from start to finish, giving you unmatched support and take you through every step of the way.

METHODICAL PROCESS

We don’t rush the process, taking our time to eliminate avoidable issues.

METICULOUS WORK

We’re big picture thinkers who never neglect the details.

STEP 1

Design Direction

To create a solid foundation for your project, all clients begin with our Design Direction.

We’ll start with a kick-off call, questionnaire, and in person or virtual site visit to understand your budget, goals, non-negotiables, and vision for the space.

Then schematic design can begin!

In two weeks time, we’ll meet to review the completed deliverables together, which include:

  • Digital sample board(s) specifically selected for your unique project, needs & aesthetics

  • Floor plan(s) with generic sizes of key elements (eg: size of sofa, desk, quantity of tables and seats, etc.)

  • Black and white 3D view(s) to help you visualize the flow of the space

STEP 2

Design Development

In Step 2, we’ll continue to develop the selected design from Proper Design Direction and specify every last detail, finish and material while managing your budget.

You’ll walk away with exactly what you need to order from and specifications to hand off to your installer.

After completing the design process outlined above, you can choose to move into steps 3 & 4.

Proper Design Studio can offer complete white glove service or only provide just what you need.

Step 3 - Coordination

Step 3 is where we get organized and prepared before any delivery, install or construction starts. In this step, we’ll handle any ordering, bid out to contractors, collaborate with building management, architects, etc. This step ensures that install goes as smoothly as possible.

Step 4 - Install

Step 4 is where your approved design becomes a reality and we can be there through it all. From weekly site visits to being present for furniture deliveries to final styling - we can ensure everything comes together so it’s pretty as a picture.

Before we jump in, get in touch to make sure working together is a good fit.

“There were few review points because we were very aligned. In fact, Alisa understood our process so well that her suggestions were in many cases better that what operations had in mind.”
