The three words that best describe Online Decorating Consultations are:
Economical: You save money by doing some of the work
yourself.
Flexible: You can work around your busy schedule and
at your convenience.
Individualized: You will have plans designed just for
your style and your home.
The key to online decorating is that you, the homeowner, need to provide specific
information and photographs to The Home Stylist. The process is simple:
Choose a decorating consultation that best meets you needs. Click on the “Yes,
I want…” link to go to The Style Store
You will complete the basic information and payment option
form. Paypal is the preferred payment method because it is safe and secure for both of us.
An e-mail will be sent to you that includes a link to the decorating consultation
form. Download these forms and print them.
Complete the decorating consultation forms and take the requested photos.
This is where you do some of the work to save money. This detailed questionnaire helps to insure the decorating plan is individualized
for your home and your style. Photos are needed to make
sure I can give you accurate advice. Regular photos can be developed and mailed
to me with your packet or digital photos can be e-mailed.
Mail the completed forms
and photos to The Home Stylist address provided on the consultation forms. Within about a week of The Home Stylist receiving your completed packet, you will
be mailed your new decorating plans!
Color palette consultation
This consultation was developed because “what color should I paint…”
is by far the most common question The Home Stylist is asked. Choosing what color
to paint walls may seem easy but it is this decision that is causing a lot of
people difficulty. The first mistake people make is to “just pick a color”
without regard to features of the room, nearby rooms or even existing furnishings.
The proper color can turn the meekest room in to an absolutely gorgeous room.
The Home Stylist will mail the specific paint chips and an explanation of those
choices directly to your home (so that you can even tape the swatch to your wall
if you want).
Detailed Color Palette Consultation: $49 per room
A quick view color palette consultation is also available. This consultation is done completely over the internet. You simply follow the regular color palette consultation but once you complete the questionnaire,
just scan it and send it along with photos in jpeg by e-mail. I will then send you back two photos of your room painted in recommended colors. This technique is similar to the color poll section of this website.
This consultation is usually completed in 2 business days. Paypal only.
Quick View Color Palette Consultation: $49.00 per room
This furniture arrangement or shopping consultation is ideal for people who have not changed
their furniture arrangement in years or don’t know what additional furniture to purchase
for their room. A proper arrangement can increase the function of the room
while emphasizing its best features. You will provide detailed measurements of
the room and its furnishings. The Home Stylist will mail a great floor plan to
you so all you need to do is follow the map and recommendations.
Also available for purchase are furniture sliders. These are the interior redesigners’
trade secret to make furniture arranging easy. They are the only way to move furniture.
Please specify wood or carpet floors.
Furniture Arrangement or Shopping Consultation: $69.00 per room
This consultation was developed when clients would contact me because they
just finished redecorating a room on their own and were disappointed in the result.
The problem with a large percentage of projects not meeting expectations is the
homeowner stopped after the new furniture and wall paint. The finishing touches
and accessories are what pulls the whole look together and makes the room cohesive
and complete. The Home Stylist will provide you with specific suggestions and
images of artwork, pillows, lamps, and accessories for your room. You can use these
images to purchase similar items in your price range or in some cases I can include
the vendor name and approximate retail price.
Accessorizing & Finishing Touches Consultation: $69.00 per room
Do you want “the works”? This plan includes the services:
color palette with wall paint and fabric colors, furniture shopping including room lay-out ideas, and artful accessory ideas. To purchase the decorating
package separately, it would cost you $187. If you are starting from an empty room, this consultation is your best choice. This complete package is the most
economical answer to your decorating dilemma.
