Design Notes
You have decided to start a home renovation project. Congratulations! You are excited but also feeling overwhelmed by the process. Can you relate to any of this?
- What design style best represents me?
- How can I be sure I will like it once it’s finished?
- How will I find what I want with so many options?
- What comes first?
- How can I make sure the completed project feels like home?
These questions are perfectly normal. Starting a renovation can be difficult, especially if it’s your first time. Many things, such as the budget and design, need to be decided on. Our goal is to not only help you with your renovation but also assist you in finding the right design that reflects you perfectly. Find out how we help others through their renovation journey and ensure amazing results.
Understanding You And Helping You Understand Your Needs
Our first step with every new client is listening. This is the most essential part of the process because it is where you express your thoughts, needs, wishes, and goals for the new space. This is your home; you are meant to enjoy this area, so we want to make sure you are happy with the results. We listen so that we can understand your needs and help guide you to exactly the right style and choices that reflect that style.
Simplify The Process
Even though renovating your home will result in a new space that is both beautiful and functional, it can also mean you have to make adjustments until the process is complete. This is not always easy, but your design meeting and contract should be. We don’t bother you with a contract that is ten pages long, has lots of fine print, and is filled with lawyer terms. Our goal is to give you a contract that clearly explains our job and responsibilities, and leave you more time for what is essential.
Set Realistic Goals
HGTV is great at presenting an hour-long, thrilling renovation, but sadly, it often gives unrealistic goals, budgets, and visions. You can read our full article on HGTV here. In our design meeting, we go over all aspects of the project, helping you set realistic goals that lead to a smooth renovation and great results.
Presented Only With Options That Reflect You
No one likes to waste their time looking at things that don’t pertain to them, which is why we give you options that are within your guidelines, including a budget, design style, and color choices. Our experience gives us the confidence to say we know what works and what doesn’t. We have helped other clients achieve exactly what they want every time.
Walker Woodworking The kitchen sink has often been used to describe someone who packs everything they can think of when going on a trip, but in reality, it is a vital part of the kitchen and one of the most frequently used elements. It’s how we maintain a clean environment as we wash our hands, food, countertops, and dirty dishes. Our entire meal prep revolves around the sink since it is where most of the food is cut and prepared to be turned into a delicious dish for the family, and all the pots are filled. With so much happening around the sink, and it fulfills many roles, the type you choose is important. It should have the capacity to do everything needed in one easy design, which is why Greenbrook Design is proud to be a dealer for the Galley Workstation, a company that has reinvented the sink. Let’s talk about what it is and why you should choose it for your new kitchen sink.
Home is more than just a place to prepare for the next day, to sleep at night, and to eat your meals. It is a place where memories are made. It is where you can take a break from your routine and do something fun with your family. While everyone enjoys gathering in the kitchen, it is not the most ideal area of the home to play a board game or watch a movie. Many homeowners enjoy the idea of having a separate area where the kids can play, or they can host a Super Bowl party. Carving out a place in the home dedicated to just fun is a great way to enjoy family time without worrying about making a mess. Let’s talk about some ways to build your home for entertainment.
Walker WoodworkingThe kitchen is the center of the home, which means it should be given good consideration when planning its layout. This is especially true when it comes to cabinet design. Closed, glass front, and open shelving are the options available for kitchen cabinets. Open shelving has become a popular choice with homeowners and designers alike due to the elegance and style it brings to the kitchen. Let’s talk about the benefits it can bring to your home and some helpful design tips.
Walker Woodworking The bathroom plays a key role in everyone’s morning routine, but more specifically, the bathroom vanity. It’s the place where the kids go to brush their teeth, fix their hair, and where all the necessities are stored. They can also maximize limited space and give you the storage you need, but how do you know which one is right for you? Let’s explore some of the common questions about bathroom vanities to help you find the perfect one.
