What Is eDesign (Online Interior Design)?

What 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?
 

Grit Interiors provides a highly personalized eDesign plan based on your style, preferences, and how you live. I will select each product in your eDesign plan just for you and your home.
 

What are the benefits of using Grit Interiors Online Interior Design 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 you will take some measurements and pictures, order the materials and products yourself, and set them up once they're received. This may also include hiring professionals or completing other small projects for the space, including painting and 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 you provide 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 for which it is being selected.
 

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 items for your eDesign Plan will be chosen considering function and form, including interior design elements. 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, pattern, and 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 considering this. Understanding size and scale, your new room will look great and function well.

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

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 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 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.  

Don't hesitate to 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 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 considering the time involved for the high level of customized attention you will receive. Each Grit Interiors eDesign Plan takes considerable time to tailor for each client. Dependent on the Service (s) selected, your eDesign Plan may 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 3 for eDesign Redesign and 2 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?

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

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

Absolutely! You are welcome to contact me any time to discuss your eDesign project. 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 best suited to you, an electronic payment will be required in full.   Of course, if you're unsure which online interior design service is best for you, please contact me, and we'll discuss it ahead of your eDesign Service selection and payment.
 

Will you recommend specialized trades for me to complete a 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 eDesign Plan. If you're not, we'll work together to ensure you are.
