how do i get started ?
Getting started is easy! Simply send me an email, sidneysharkeydesign@gmail.com, or fill out the “contact me” form to set up a free discovery phone call. During this phone call we’ll discuss your vision for your project and your expectations of me as your designer. There is never any pressure and when you’re ready to move forward with the next steps, we’ll set up your initial consultation.
WILL YOU TAKE ON SMALL PROJECTS?
YES! No project is too small for me. Whether you’re looking to makeover an entire room from floor to ceiling, update your bathroom, reframe a beloved piece of art or simply need advice on color schemes and styling, I’m here to help. My design services are flexible and tailored to accommodate projects of all sizes. Every space deserves to be beautiful and functional, regardless of its scale.
How much will it cost?
The cost of my services varies depending on the scope of the project and how involved you’d like me to be. Based on the information I gather during our discovery call, I can give an estimate for what your project might cost with me as your guide.
will you go shopping with me?
Absolutely! As part of my personalized interior design services, I offer shopping assistance with furniture, accents, tile, etc. to help you find the perfect pieces. Whether you like to visit showrooms together, need guidance on selecting items online, or would rather I handle all of the shopping for you, I’m here to accompany you every step of the way. My goal is to ensure that your selections align with your design vision and enhance the aesthetics and functionally of your home.
DO YOU ONLY USE CERTAIN VENDORS?
While I do have preferred vendors I frequently source from, I’m flexible and open to working with a wide range of suppliers and manufacturers. My priority is to find the best furniture, decor, materials and product representatives that align with your design preferences, budget and quality standards. Whether you have specific vendors in mind or need recommendations, I’m here to help source the ideal items for your project.
Yes, I offer virtual design services for clients who are unable to meet in person or live outside the DMV. Through online consultations, virtual room design, and screen-sharing, I can effectively collaborate with you to transform your space regardless of your location. To ensure accuracy, I’ll need your assistance in taking measurements of your space, but don’t worry - I’ll walk you through the process step by step to make it easy and convenient for you.
will you work with clients remotely?
The timeline for your project varies depending on its complexity and the scope of work involved. My design for you may have a quick turn around but we need to realistically build in time to make final decisions, coordinate with contractors if necessary, and allow for custom furniture and products we’re ordering to arrive. If we’re simply rearranging a room, that might only take a day! If you have a specific completion date in mind we can work together to make selections and plan the project accordingly to stay within that goal. Most importantly, communication and collaboration are key. I’ll strive to keep the process efficient while ensuring every decision aligns with your vision and requirements.
how long will the process take?
Not necessarily! I can work with what you already have if that’s your wish. My approach is flexible and adaptable, focusing on maximizing the potential of your existing furniture and accessories. By reimagining and repurposing your current items, we can create a fresh look for your space without additional purchases.
