Our advantages
PERSONALIZED ATTENTION
One of the most important benefits of working with us is the personal attention that you will receive. Modern Muse are typically smaller, with a team of designers that are more dedicated, working closely with clients to learn about their unique needs and preferences. This individual attention allows for a more tailored design experience, leading to final products that reflect a client's style and personality.
UNIQUE APPROACH TO INTERIOR DESIGN
Boutique interior design firms generally take a more distinctive, creative approach to design services. Unlike larger firms, which can tend to only use a standardized design process, boutique studios generally embrace creativity, experimentation, and unique design solutions and concepts. They often collaborate with local artisans, craftspeople, and other creatives to design unique pieces that add an additional level of personality to a space.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Modern Muse interior design studios are known for their careful attention to detail. They work tirelessly to make sure that every element of a design, from the placement of furniture to lighting fixtures and accessories, is thoroughly considered and executed with perfection. This attention to detail ensures that the end product is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and convenient for living.
FLEXIBILITY
Boutique interior design firms are generally more agile than larger firms, which allows them to quickly adjust to changing circumstances and customer needs. They are usually open to working with clients on a variety of projects, from small-scale remodels to larger-scale commercial spaces, and may be able to provide more bespoke experiences.
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH VENDORS
Boutique interior design firms typically have long-standing relationships with local vendors and suppliers. These relationships enable them to source unique materials and products and negotiate better prices for their clients. Additionally, working with local suppliers helps to sustain local economies, as well as build a sense of community in the design industry.
ONE-OF-A-KIND DESIGN EXPERIENCE
Сhoosing a boutique interior design firm offers a number of benefits, including personal attention, unique design approaches, careful attention to detail, flexibility, and a solid relationship with vendors. These advantages make boutique design studios worth choosing for clients who want a customized, one-of-a-kind design experience that captures their personal style and identity.
How we work
1
PROGRAMMING
In our initial meeting, we’ll work together and create a detailed design brief to determine your needs and wants, plus the overarching style for your new home.
2
SCHEMATIC DESIGN
During this phase we begin preliminary discussions with the municipality as well ensure your home’s design meets standard building code practices. We’ll start preparing floor plan options for your review and look at room types, room sizes, window placement, and determine your home’s flow.
3
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Once the floor plan is approved, we’ll start to provide exterior elevations, decide on interior and exterior finishes, and decide on window/door placement, roof lines etc. As well, the interior details start to get solidified. This is the time we’ll go into kitchen layout, bathrooms, millwork, stair location etc. as well as prepare basic interior elevations to show cabinetry design, lighting locations and tile install details.
4
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
During the contract document phase, architectural and design drawing specs are completed to ensure the design integrity over the life of your project. The package you get may include building elevations and sections, floor plans, the site plan, window schedule, millwork plan, finishes plan, reflected ceiling plan with lighting locations, interior elevations, and other sections as required.
5
PERMIT/TENDERING PHASE
We have established relationships with a variety of contractors and builders who can participate in the project tender. We’ll help you through this exciting process by meeting the contractors on site and being available to answer questions.
6
PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
