Absolutely! Oftentimes, potential clients want to know how we process as designers. And because their investments are sacred to us, we want each of you to know that we take our job seriously and that we are not haphazard when approaching a new design project. The goal is to design a space that our clients never knew they could have. Alongside this, we will always offer design suggestions and concepts that our clients do not even know to ask for. As experts of reading between the lines, we often surprise our clients with ideas they would have never dreamed of! And lastly, we design spaces that are aspirational, offering an atmosphere that promotes safety, comfort, and inspiration.

We firmly believe that we excel when hired to design+furnish new spaces--this could be a new build or major renovation. And the majority of our projects fall into this category--full service interior design. However, when considering any project, no matter the scale, we review a number of things: We start by accepting projects that align with our expertise, to leverage our skills and knowledge. We evaluate scope and scale, to see if we have the capacity to manage it successfully and within the requested timeframe. We consider your vision and preferences to see if they resonate with our design philosophy. We analyze the feasibility in terms of logistics, budget, and any potential constraints to ensure a smooth execution. We assess our team's workload and availability to ensure dedicated time and attention to each project we undertake. And we consider the potential impact and value that we can bring, both to the client and our portfolio, seeking opportunities that can showcase our expertise and contribute to our growth and your new aspirational lifestyle! Much like our design process, we are not haphazard about the projects we take. Each one is approached with dedication, creativity, and a commitment to delivery something truly exceptional!

Currently, we have a tiered structure for our team, as it pertains to different members and departments working on your project. We start at $125/hr and go up to $295/hr, with DuVäl acting as the lead designer on all projects--no matter the size.

Yes--but only for our full-service design projects. Currently, we are open to single-room projects with a minimum $25K budget for services, furniture, and furnishings. We are only taking full, turn-key projects. For major renovations and new builds, our minimum is $150K--this costs can include all aspects of the renovation, such as the materials, labor, design fees, etc. For more cost-effective options, please consider our Expert Consultation or Virtual Design Service: Click Here! NOTE: We will make exceptions for client referrals, as long as it is still full, turn-key services.

"Smaller" is relative (^_^). For full-service design, we absolutely do...as long as it meets our project minimum. If you are not sure about our virtual design or our full, white-glove service, consider the Expert Consultation: https://www.duvalreynolds.com/expert-consultation

Absolutely! We are now offering an Expert Consultation! Here is your chance to pick DuVäl's brain for 2hrs! It's a great way to get expert knowledge on design projects that you're considering, ones that may already be underway, or for finished projects that need a little editing/finishing. We find this to be a great option for clients who don't need our full, white-glove service. Find out more: https://www.duvalreynolds.com/expert-consultation

Our typical lead time for full-service design is about 1-3 months, to start a project, depending on scale. For our virtual design projects, depending on size and budget, we can complete in 2-4 weeks.

Generally, for furniture, a typical full-service project installation can occur anywhere between 8-16 weeks, after final sign-offs. We are still feeling the effects of COVID-19, with a few vendors still falling behind on normal lead times. For our virtual design projects, depending on size and budget, can be completed in 2-4 weeks.

We are open to scheduling a Feasibility Study with potential full-service clients, who have completed our Questionnaire. These can generally be scheduled within 2-4 weeks. For our virtual designs, we can schedule a Discovery Call within 1-2 weeks.

Without a doubt! We advise working with contractors with whom our clients feel most comfortable!
