Design Notes
With more people spending extended time at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many have realized their living spaces could use an upgrade. While you might think you need to wait for a design center to reopen to begin your renovation, that’s no longer the case. Greenbrook Design now offers virtual design consultations, allowing you to start planning your beautiful and functional space without delay. From concept to execution, our team can guide you through the process remotely—ensuring your project stays on track and reflects your vision, all from the comfort and safety of your home.
What Is It?
A virtual meeting allows you to connect with a designer through video and audio in real time—all from the comfort and safety of your home. It’s a convenient and effective way to share ideas, review design plans, and receive expert guidance without the need for in-person interaction. This approach is an ideal solution for continuing your home renovation plans while prioritizing the health and safety of you and your family during the ongoing challenges of COVID-19.
Advantages Of Virtual Design Meetings
Time-Saving Convenience
We understand that finding time in a busy schedule for in-person meetings isn’t always easy. Virtual design consultations offer the flexibility to connect with your designer at a time that works for you—even during a lunch break. It’s a quick, efficient way to keep your project moving forward without disrupting your day.
Clear and Effective Communication
Great design starts with great communication. Even without being in the same room, our virtual meetings provide the opportunity to discuss your goals, review options, and collaborate in real time. We’re here to listen, understand your needs, and help you discover solutions that reflect your vision.
Prioritizing Your Safety
Your health and well-being are our top priorities. Virtual meetings allow you to begin the design process without ever leaving home—an ideal solution for those with health concerns, young children, or who simply prefer to minimize public contact. It’s a safe and stress-free way to take the first step toward transforming your space.
What You Need For A Virtual Design Meeting
To make the most of your virtual meeting, here are a few simple steps you can take to help us better understand your space and needs:
1. Share Measurements or Blueprints (PDF Format Preferred)
If available, please send us any existing blueprints or layout files. If not, don’t worry—we’ll provide you with a measuring guide so you can take accurate measurements on your own.
2. Use Your Smartphone
Today’s technology makes it easy to gather helpful information. You can use your phone to take measurements, record a short video of the space, or snap a few clear photos to give us a better view of the area.
3. Complete Our Kitchen or Bath Questionnaire
We’ll email you a short questionnaire to learn more about your lifestyle, preferences, and priorities. This helps us tailor our design recommendations to fit your unique needs.
4. Provide an Appliance List (If Applicable)
If you already own appliances or have specific models in mind, please share that information with us. Knowing the size and style of appliances will help us create a more accurate and functional design plan.
What Goes On In A Virtual Design Meeting
If you’re new to virtual design meetings, you may be wondering how the process works and how much time you’ll need to set aside. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect:
1. Walk Us Through Your Space
Using your smartphone or tablet, you can easily walk through your space—live or by recording a video. Talk us through any problem areas, highlight features you’d like to change or upgrade, and share your overall goals for the project. This helps us get a real-time sense of your layout and needs.
2. Connect with Your Designer
Once our design team has reviewed your space, we’ll set up a virtual meeting to discuss our recommendations and potential solutions. This is your opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and discuss everything from budget to design details like flooring, cabinetry, hardware, and lighting.
Our goal is to make the process easy, informative, and tailored to your needs—so your dream space can start taking shape from day one.
