Our Process

Discovery

This is the part where we get to know each other! We’ll learn about what you’re trying to achieve with your home, your lifestyle, and what inspires you. You’ll learn about our process, what to expect when working with our design team, and our pricing.

  1. Fill Out Design Survey
  2. Discovery Call
  3. In-Home Paid Consultation or Virtual Meeting
  4. Scope of Work Development + Design Fee Proposal

To begin step 3 of the Discovery Phase, an initial investment of $650 +HST is collected to ensure both parties are equally committed to the process before investing in further work.

Planning

This critical part of the project usually takes about 3-5 months depending on its scope and complexity. During this phase, we make all material and product selections, then produce and present a comprehensive design package. This package outlines all of the visual and technical design details and sets our team up for success once implementation begins.

This last phase of the design process is where all of our team’s collaborative planning comes together. We facilitate with key project partners like builders, contractors, tradesmen, and more to execute our vision and plans. We deliver and set up all of the furniture we’ve selected for your project and style your space to the nines in preparation for the final reveal.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“Communication was exceptional and I was in good hands every step of the way. The team is extremely talented and can uncover exactly what you envision. I didn’t change a thing from what they had suggested; the room is absolutely beautiful – better than I had hoped.”

“I had been trying to put together rooms in my home for over a year...it just wasn’t working. I love West of Main’s decor aesthetic and was happy to find out they offer a Furniture and Decor Service! I decided to go for it and I’m so glad I did. Keira helped so much and kept all of my notes in mind when designing my space – even down to my dog’s fur colour (she sheds)! All of the items she sourced were fantastic and the portal they set up is so easy to use. It allows you to revisit the designs at any time with floor plans, renderings, etc! Thank you!”

Interior Design FAQ

If our Toronto interior design service sounds like what you need and you resonate with our layered, organic, and timeless style, please fill out our design survey here. If we feel we would be a good fit for your project, we will contact you to set up a 20-30 min Discovery Phone Call (free of charge) to discuss further!

As soon as possible! If you are thinking about involving our interior design team in your Toronto project, it's best to involve us from the very start. This way, we can help connect you with our professional team of collaborators (builders, architects, tradesmen etc) to start your project off in the most effective and efficient way possible. We’re also full of design knowledge and ideas that you may have never considered. So if we’re brought into the process too late, it can be difficult and costly to go backwards or make changes once your project has started.

We've serviced clients across Canada, including Toronto and Montreal, as well as in the USA and Europe. We will go anywhere you want us to! If there happens to be palm trees there, even better! We are Ottawa-based, but with the help of technology and great communication skills, we're able to work from a distance. As part of our process, we travel to the project site at select project milestones, as well as for the furniture installation day.

Full-service projects typically have a minimum duration of 1 year from start to completion. New build projects can be up to 3 years from start to completion.

We love incorporating our client’s existing pieces and heirlooms as they bring personality, soul, and emotion to a space. We will, however, be honest about whether or not the piece will pose limitations on the design, or simply won’t work.

At West of Main, Full Service Interior Design has an associated design fee, which is a flat fee, tailored specifically to each project. The fee is determined when we develop the scope of work during the Discovery Phase.

Our team is highly collaborative, and each of our talented designers is involved in the success of every project. Our team is composed of senior designers who each have 10+ years of experience in the industry, and are supported by intermediate and junior designers. At the onset of the project, you will meet with our Design Manager and one of our senior designers, whom you will also be communicating with for the duration of the project.

Our design team collaborates with multiple skilled craftsmen, contractors, and tradespeople to produce the custom designs we create for our clients. Design projects involve lots of design management and facilitation, which is a part of the value of working with our talented team.

We encourage clients to find alternate accommodations during the implementation phase as renovations are very disruptive to everyday life, especially for a family. During the discovery phase of the project, we can provide an estimated length of time you would be away from the project site so that this can be worked into your total investment value and so that you can start planning. In our experience, living within renovations is not much fun for anyone involved in the project!

We offer Virtual Hourly Design Consultation through the designated platform The Expert. Through the platform we offer 55-minute video consultations during which you can pick our brain about anything in regards to your project. If you would like more information in regards to this service, please fill out our Design Survey and our team can set up a discovery call to chat about how this service could meet your needs. If you are looking for help finding a few key pieces to refresh your home with furniture and decor, please contact our shoppe’s Furniture & Decor Service team Here.

For the most part, yes! This is how West Of Main Shoppe, our furniture store was born, actually. If you see something that catches your eye please send a descriptive email to our team shoppe@westofmaindesign.com, including the image for reference and we'll gladly provide you more details.
