Interior Design Services
It's time to make your home a reflection of you!
Renovations
If you love your neighbourhood, why move? A home renovation is an opportunity to change your home and design it to fit your needs and become your vision of what home should be.
Although it is a daunting task to consider — it’s a large time, financial and emotional commitment — the outcome can be outstanding and worth the investment.
At some point in a house’s life cycle, it needs upgrading or at least refreshing for multiple reasons. It not only improves your home’s function and technological infrastructure, it can also improve flow, comfort and market value.
We can work directly with architects, contractors and builders to help design the concept, plan the layout, order the fixtures, design materials, furnishings and finishes and complete the vision of your renovation project.
New Builds
From the ground up we work with architects and builders finessing plans and adding in all the finishes and materials like electrical, plumbing, lighting placement and trim work. We speak their language so we will communicate your vision and work collaboratively with them.
Our expertise carries over to the building process. We will help coordinate with the trades and be available to answer questions. We’re also the last ones to leave before the keys get handed over. We want to ensure that every last detail is in place.
Room Makeovers
We offer complete room makeovers to renew and refresh a space. From picking new paint, furniture, and drapery to a whole new floor plan we will bring function and beauty to your room.
Space Planning
It's important how an entire house works together, whether you’re updating a room, adding a room or building a whole house. Flow, function, and form all contribute to order and calm in your space.
We measure, then create CAD (computer-aided design) plans for space planning and building projects. From ceiling lighting placement to cabinetry install locators, the fine details are contractor-ready.
Colour Consulting
Whether it’s paint, a fabric, furniture or art, we can help you choose the right colours for home, inside and out.
Accessorizing/ Styling
Adding the finishing touches to a room is a key designer secret! We will accessorize any space to give you that “designer look”.
Design Process
First Things First:
Once you book your initial consultation or project we will call you to get a better understanding of your design style and what you're looking for throughout your project.
Design Consultation:
We will meet with local clients either at their location or the showroom. The consultation allows Divine Haven to get to know you, your project needs, budget, and timeline. It may consist of gathering measurements, acquiring photos of your space for your project or simply just guiding you on design suggestions for a new look on your own. This is also YOUR time to ask questions and get an interior designer’s point of view. We also offer consultations by phone, Skype/FaceTime, and email for e-design clients that are too far away or out-of-province.
Design Concept Development:
If you would like to hire us for a specific design service, after a discussion or meeting we will draw up a “Letter of Agreement” which outlines the design scope of the entire interior design project requested. We will then begin the design development process for your particular project which can consist of a complete room design makeover, a floor plan layout of a single room or a paint color scheme for an entire home or commercial space.
Client Design Review & Delivery:
Once the design concept is completed it will be delivered for your review. You may choose to take the design concepts, floor plans, and other materials and implement them on your own at your own pace, as well as handle your own purchasing, or you can hire us to complete this portion of the project for you. You may have questions at this point in the process which we are here for you to answer.
Purchasing:
This service is offered to clients that don’t have the time to do their own purchasing. We will create all of your purchase orders for the design developed as well as negotiate with vendors on the best price for you. Once all purchase orders are completed and the budget is approved by the client the buying process can begin. All purchase orders can be handed over at this time to the client for placing their own orders directly or Divine Haven can place the orders for you and coordinate delivery set up.
Installation:
Sometimes the most crucial part of a design is the delivery and installation process. If you prefer to have a designer at the job site during delivery and installation we are available for you. We make sure that the process goes smoothly and items are implemented properly within the space. Once everything is finished there is a final walk-through between the designer and client of the newly completed space.
