  2. GUIDED DESIGN Guided Design is available to those who want a creative custom solution for their room or home but don’t like the idea of traditional interior design services. • Love our interior design solutions but don’t live in the area? Guided Design was developed to reach clients like you. It is the long-distance design solution! • Or maybe you’re a DIY personality and you like the take-charge aspect of purchasing your own furniture, painting the walls, and heading up the scheduling of subcontractors. • Or you want to save your money and like the idea of a flat rate for services. Guided Design is available at a fraction of traditional service fees because it eliminates appointments and meetings. • Perhaps it’s the freedom to take the plan and move forward with your own ideas or additions. There is no pressure or obligation to buy product. Whatever the reason, Guided Design is here to help.

  3. How it Works Your Homework • Pick a Room • Let us get to know you with the Client Questionnaire on the following page. The more we know, the better we can tailor our design to fit your unique personality and space. • Draw an aerial picture of the floor plan and wall elevations – include anything structural such as windows, doors, etc. (see examples page 6) • Measure and label the room (see example page 7) • Take photos of the room and label each space on the aerial plan. • Research rooms you love – and hate. Send us internet links and/or magazines photos with quick captions about what captured your eye. • Determine a budget or price range for the whole project. A quick budget estimator for a Living Room is shown here. (see page 9) Contact us for estimators in other spaces, if needed. • Determine your timeframe. When do you want to get started and what is the hopeful completion date? • Complete and mail the above information, along with the consultation fee, to Awaken Interiors. We will let you know when it is received and within two weeks you can look for a package from us. Inside will be the tools needed to proceed with confidence and clarity on your current project.

  6. Aerial Floor Plan Drawing Floor Plan Example Helpful Hints: • Stand in one corner of the room and start drawing from left to right until you are done. • Use pencil! • Only do one drawing per page and don’t be afraid to draw it large. • Make note of windows, doors, openings, light fixtures, etc. • Label adjacent rooms • Make note of at least one cardinal direction. (ie North) • The devil is in the details. Be specific!

  7. Measurements of Floor Plan Floor Plan Measurements Helpful Hints: • Start in one corner of the room and work your way around the perimeter. • Always measure in inches to avoid confusion. (12’3” could look like 123” if not) • Start your measurements on the outside of your millwork. (ie the widest part of your windows and doors) • For now, focus on the larger permanent fixtures. (You will need to take note of outlets, cable jacks, light switches, and registers when you do the wall elevations.) • Use pencil. • Be sure to include floor-ceiling height.

  8. Elevation Photo, Drawing, &Measurements Elevation Photo Elevation Drawing/Measurements Living Room: South Wall Please note: think of everything as boxes and take the widest and longest measurements. As shown here, you can (but do not need to) include baseboard, crown moulding and inside window measurements. Please do include outside window measurements, outlets, and cable jacks.

  14. Wall Elevations and Photos Photo of South Wall Measurements of South Wall “Icky carpet and too-white walls. I like the idea of curtains, but even when they are open, they block all the woodwork!”

  15. Wall Elevations and Photos Photo of West Wall Measurements of West Wall “Photo taken from inside Dining Room, looking at West Wall, which is also the front of the house. Love the open walk-through and the detailed woodwork.”

  16. Wall Elevations and Photos Photo of North Wall Measurements of North Wall “Looking at the Entry (North wall) from inside the Living Room. Favorite part of the house!”

  17. Wall Elevations and Photos Measurements of East Wall Photo of East Wall The clients did not include a photo of their East wall, but they did send an elevation drawing and measurements.

  18. Inspiration Fabric and Photos This is where you would send magazine photos of rooms or pieces you love. You can also email links, or send fabrics/ materials that you want. Be sure to describe what you love – or hate! The more the better. “This fabric makes me happy! I LOVE all the colors and the whimisical pattern. I only want to use a little, and don’t want to be overly Asian-themed.” “Love the curves of this sofa and the fabric/leather combo. Do not like the pattern, or yellow/brown color mix.”
