Start with how the home should work
Describe the rooms, household needs, materials you enjoy and the changes that would make daily life easier. Set a budget range and a realistic timeline.
A considered approach to interiors
Exploring an interior-design project in Atherton? This HaSi spotlight is a starting point for an inquiry, not a verified portfolio, independent review or offer to perform contracted work.
Ask to see relevant completed work
Request an authorized portfolio and references. Inspirational photography is not evidence that a provider designed or completed a pictured room.
Put the scope in writing
Confirm design fees, purchasing arrangements, contractor responsibilities, applicable licenses, insurance, milestones and cancellation terms with the actual provider.
Discuss a project
Send an inquiry to ask about current information. Do not send floor plans, security-system details or other sensitive household information through the contact form.
