If you've ever had a design dilemma that you just couldn't figure out, or haven't worked with a designer before, our Chit Chat Design Consultations might be just the right fit for you!
This service is a great option if you:
are someone who enjoys design, and the research, planning, and shopping that goes along with that, but needs another (professional) head in the game to discuss ideas
are thinking about a renovation and have no idea how to budget to save for your particular vision
need advice on paint color for a room that just feels "off"
have a large collection of art and have no idea how to utilize it in a new home
just moved and need help deciding what to keep and what to get rid of
are not quite ready for a full-service project, but you have one space that has been particularly difficult to get right, and need some expert advice
have had lackluster experiences with designers before, or you have never worked with a designer, and you want to get to know us a little better and how we might work together before signing on for a large project
have zero interest in design except knowing you want to spruce up your house and need expert design tips and advice
These are all real life examples of clients that have signed up for Chit Chat Design appointments over the years! And if you have another request that isn't covered here, don't be afraid to reach out and ask - we are problem solvers by nature, and these kind of questions are what we live for.
WHAT TO EXPECT BESIDES OUR EXPERT DESIGN TIPS
Our Chit Chat Design Consultation is the least structured form of design service we offer. What does that mean? During this up to two hour consultation meeting, we will have "off the cuff" or impromptu conversations with you regarding your design dilemmas. We share tips and information on how to prepare for our meeting during our new client onboarding process to help you get organized before we meet.
I will expect you to steer the conversation and have specific questions, design ideas, inspiration photos, examples of spaces, and product links you're considering ready for us to review and discuss during our meeting in order to make the most of our time together. We'll offer our professional advice to you regarding your questions and dilemmas, pulling from my knowledge and expertise from my years of experience in the design field.
Please note that there is no follow-up email, no visual design boards or renderings, no written to-do list, and no specific source links provided for this type of consultation. I ask that you take notes while I give you advice and explain ideas...hence the name Chit Chat Design.
You can take our word for it, but happy clients speak volumes higher than we ever will:
This lovely Google review received after a Chit Chat appointment recently with a very lovely client seriously made my day:
I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy today for an in home consultation. She was highly recommended to me by a good friend and work colleague. The in person meeting is preceded by a thorough questionnaire. This gives Nancy the opportunity to get to know her client. I really appreciated how in depth the questionnaire was. You can really tell how passionate Nancy is about her work and how important it is that she help you find the personal design you are looking for. She is very knowledgeable and full of valuable information and ideas. Excited to continue working with her and would highly recommend her to help guide you along your design journey. She is sweet, lovely, professional, and caring about her work.
