View eDesign Services & DelieverablesWhat is eDesign?

Online Interior Design or eDesign is the best and easiest way to get a professionally decorated home, entirely around your schedule, completely online.  

Why should I hire Grit Interiors for my eDesign project?
 

I will provide a highly personalized eDesign plan to you, based on your specific style, preferences, and the way that you live. Each product in your eDesign Services plan will be selected just for you and your home.
 

What are the benefits of using Grit Interiors eDesign Services compared to a traditional full-service Interior Designer? 

Online Interior Design (eDesign) provides an opportunity to bring a customized and timely design to you.  

This means that you will take some measurements, pictures, and order the materials and products yourself along with setting these products up once they're received. This may also include hiring professionals or completing other small projects for the space including painting and/or hanging wallpaper.  
 

What services won't I receive in my Interior eDesign Plan that hiring a traditional Interior Designer would provide me with?
 

· In-home consultations

· Detailed measurements and photography

· Multiple flooring & tile/paint/wallpaper fabric/countertop selections brought to you to select from

· Custom cabinetry, drapery, and furniture design

· Ordering of furniture, products, and materials

· Project management 

Will I receive a quality design using eDesign?
 

When you hire Grit Interiors you can feel confident that you will receive the same attention to detail in the selection of products and your design plan that you would receive hiring a traditional full-service interior designer. The only difference will be in the number of services provided to you as listed above. Each product in your eDesign Plan will be personally selected just for you, with an extremely high level of consideration for your style, choices, quality, and budget as well as the space that it is being selected for.
 

What are the benefits of hiring Grit Interiors for my eDesign project instead of doing it myself?
 

· You'll save time selecting furniture, accessories, light fixtures, rugs, paint, etc. 

· The selection of the items for your eDesign Plan will be chosen with consideration of function and form including the elements of design.  This means that your finished interior will be a well-designed space that has been exceptionally tailored and customized to you.

· Your eDesign Plan will exceed your expectations because your space will be designed to your specifications by someone who knows how to put your vision together.

· With an understanding of colour, texture,  and pattern along with how they work together in a space, your new room will be perfectly coordinated.

· Your space will be designed to the measurements of your room and all selections will be made with consideration to this. Understanding size and scale, your new room will not only look great but function well too.

· With a well-designed room, and thoughtful selections made, your new space will serve you for years to come.

How long will it take to receive my final eDesign Plan from Grit Interiors?
 

After I receive your completed eDesign Questionnaire and payment along with photos, measurements,  and signed contract, you will receive your complete eDesign Plan within 2-4 weeks (often sooner).
 

Factors that may influence and increase the delivery time of your design include: 

· Changes to the information initially provided on the eDesign Questionnaire influencing the overall design selections.

· Delays in Concept Board selection approval, in order for me to proceed with your design.

· Services that include multiple spaces/rooms (since each will complement the other in their final design)

· The level of customization that you have selected
 

Can I use Grit Interiors to eDesign my whole home or more than one room at a time?
 

Yes, absolutely! Please be sure to indicate each room you would like a Grit Interiors eDesign for when selecting the Virtual Interior Design service you would like to purchase through the eDesign Questionnaire.  

Please contact me if you have any questions before doing so or if you don't see exactly what you need.  Custom eDesign Services are available.

Why are the eDesign Services structured at a fixed-rate price?

A fixed-rate structure allows for complete transparency. It also provides you with a clear budget for the remainder of your project.
 

How do I know that the fixed-rate price for each eDesign Service is fair?
 

Each Grit Interiors eDesign service has been carefully priced in consideration of the time involved for the high level of customized attention that you will receive. Each Grit Interiors eDesign Plan takes a considerable amount of time to tailor for each individual client. Dependent on the service(s) selected, your eDesign Plan will include:  
 

· eDesign Questionnaire Review and research based on this information

· One Concept Board (updated on approval of all product selections)

· Selection of all products and materials for the space (furniture, rug(s), art, & accessories (as defined in the deliverables for the eDesign Service you select)

· Interior Design Shopping List - with detailed information including direct links to purchase each item selected in your eDesign Plan

· Floor Plan including furniture placement (to scale)

· Client Communication throughout the process and 60 days post eDesign 

· Product Substitutions, if required (one per item to a maximum of 5 for eDesign Redesign and 3 for eDesign Refresh), to ensure complete satisfaction.  Additional revisions are available, if required (at a rate of $125 Canadian per hour).
 

How will you select the products for my eDesign Service?

 To curate a well-styled design, it is best to shop from a number of sources and/or manufacturers. I will consider price, quality, and customer reviews with every selection to ensure that both a beautiful design coupled with well-considered products are provided to you.  Of course, if you have a favourite vendor or retailer, I'll certainly curate products from there too.
 

Will I be in communication with you throughout my eDesign Service?
 

Absolutely! You are welcome to contact me at any time to discuss your eDesign project and we'll use an online interior design platform for your eDesign project where our communication will primarily take place. 

To ensure that you receive the time and attention that you deserve, it is recommended that you schedule your telephone calls in advance. Understanding that every client has their preferred method of communication and busy lives, I encourage you to contact me however you prefer (eDesign Online Platform, email, telephone call, text, or What's App).  The online interior design platform is perfect for leaving comments. 

How and when do I pay for my eDesign Service?
 

After selecting the service that is best suited to you, an electronic payment will be required, in full.   Of course, if you're not sure which online interior design service is best for you, please contact me and we'll discuss ahead of your eDesign Service selection and payment.
 

Will you recommend specialized trades for me to complete painting or other services that may be required to complete my eDesign plan (i.e. Electrician to hang light fixtures, etc)?

I highly recommend hiring only skilled and reputable trade persons and suggest using a reputable referral service when bringing any professional into your home. 

What if I don't love my eDesign Plan?
 

I want every Grit Interiors client to be completely satisfied with their final eDesign plan. If you're not, we'll work together to make sure that you are.
