DG Design

Curious about collaborating with an interior designer but unsure about the initial meeting? If you’re new to working with a designer, the first consultation can feel a little unclear. Many people wonder what actually happens during that meeting and how they should prepare. In reality, it’s simply a conversation. It’s our opportunity to learn more about how you live, what’s working in your home, what isn’t, and what you’re hoping this project will change for your family. It’s also your chance to understand how we approach projects and decide whether we’re the right fit to guide yours.

Most renovations and custom homes begin with a lot of questions. Not just about finishes or style, but about how your home functions day to day, what priorities matter most to you, and how the project should unfold. Our goal during that first meeting is to bring clarity. We help you start thinking about the project in the right order, answer the questions you already have, and often point out a few things people don’t realize they should be considering yet.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. Most people don’t.
You just need a starting point. If you’re planning a renovation or building a home and want some professional guidance before things move too far along, this consultation is exactly where we begin. Send us a DM with CONSULT if you’d like more information.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in bathroom remodels?
Not thinking through storage early enough.
A vanity isn’t just about looking pretty it’s where real life happens. Hair tools, makeup, skincare, towels… it all needs a place. This is where working with a designer makes such a difference. We plan drawer depths, outlets, pull-outs, and cabinet layouts before anything is built.
Good storage doesn’t just look clean, it makes your mornings easier.
