Interior Design Consultation

It can be challenging to choose appropriate colors for a business, the proper lighting for a kitchen, a countertop that you will still love five years from now, or durable flooring for an entryway. Interior Design Consultation services are helpful in avoiding costly mistakes. We remove the burden of having to make big decisions and guarantee a well-coordinated, balanced design. Let us help you create the finished look you dream of by providing you with a plan of action, a list of recommended materials and ultimately make your design project frustration-free!
 

For larger projects such as remodeling and new construction, Cherished Spaces offers a full-service interior design package. This may include, but is not limited to space planning, color consulting, lighting, furniture and surface selections, tile design and custom cabinetry. After evaluating the project and determining the amount of time needed for a conceptual design, you will be offered all services required, for one set fee. The beauty of this option is that we do all the leg work for you—research materials, find the best prices and forward all designer discounts from vendors directly to you. There are no time restrictions for color consulting, shopping, material selection and so on. This ensures the design concept is seamlessly carried out to completion, resulting in a skillfully navigated and harmonious design overall.

Color Consulting

Color is the foundation of all good design. It is the quickest and least expensive way to make a big impact on any space. It is essential in creating flow and harmony, and studies tell us that color can have a powerful effect on our physical and psychological well-being. Therefore, it is essential to understand the properties and character of color, color theory and its elemental partner—lighting, which affects the color we see.

Using our knowledge-based approach and the Benjamin Moore color system, Cherished Spaces will create the perfect color palette designed exclusively for you.  We will also include a detailed list of colors and necessary information pertaining to your color application, along with color swatches for your records and shopping needs.

Staging Consultation

Statistics tell us that staged homes are on the market for less time and sell for more money than homes that have not been staged. Our goal is to help you make your house stand out among the competition and look like a model home for a minimal amount of money and within your budget. Cherished Spaces offers a range of staging services to best meet your needs, from consultations to hands-on, full-service staging.

Consultation: Our consultation approach to your staging needs begins at the front curb, continues through your house and ends in the backyard. As we discuss ideas during the consultation, a comprehensive checklist will be prepared for your reference. This list will include everything you need to do to make your house the most marketable. Skillful rearrangement of existing pieces can transform your home into the property that will motivate buyers to make an offer!
 

Full Service: Cherished Spaces also offers a more hands-on approach to your staging needs, making your home attractive to potential buyers, by depersonalizing and simplifying each room, eliminating clutter and rearranging furnishings so that they showcase your home’s most prominent features.  

If you are starting with a blank slate, Cherished Spaces can also assist you with the renting or purchasing of furniture and accessories, to give your residence a model-home look. Potential buyers need to imagine themselves living in your home, in order to fall in love with it. 

Decorating for Special Occasions and Seasonal Events

Cherished Spaces can help save you time and energy during the holidays by creating a festive atmosphere in your home or business with beautiful table settings and enchanting interior arrangements. We can use your treasured collection of embellishments in a fresh and new way, or if you are tired of those, how about new ones? We will even do the shopping for you! Our designer touch and dramatic flair will leave you with the perfect ambiance for your special occasion.

Shopping

Utilize our expertise to source the perfect home décor items to fit your style and budget. Whether you are looking for rugs, window coverings, accessories, art, surface materials or furniture, Cherished Spaces can help you find it. We can shop for you or we can go together.

Surface Selection: Surface materials are the “bones” of all good design and require a great amount of consideration. So many choices can certainly be stressful. We can help reduce the confusion by establishing a concept and creating a color scheme. Our goal is to help you avoid making costly mistakes. After all, surface selections are quite often “set in stone."

Furniture Selection: We believe furniture is more than just an object of beauty or function. It can add a dimension of enjoyment to our surroundings and increase the quality of our daily life. Let us help you find the perfect pieces to enhance your spaces. We can shop retail or assist you with custom furniture designed to your specifications.
