DESIGN CONSULTATION
An hour with samples, the real light, and an opinion.
In-home, or by-appointment session at our Burnaby office, to narrow material, colour, and pattern choices against the actual room. Take-home sample kit included; consultation fee credited toward the project if you proceed with us.
How it works
The sequence we move through.
Each design consultation engagement runs through the same ordered handoffs — the only thing that changes is the size of the project around them.
-
Intake
Tell us the rooms, the light, and the constraints. We pull a curated sample set against what you've shared so the session starts ready to work.
-
The session
One to two hours, in your home or by appointment in our Burnaby office. We work through material, finish, sub-type, and how each option pairs with the cabinets, paint, and adjacent flooring you already have.
-
Take-home kit
You leave with a curated sample kit to live with for a week. Display lighting lies; your living-room lighting tells the truth.
-
Narrowed shortlist
We follow up with a written summary of the recommendation — material, finish, supplier, ballpark pricing — so the decision has a record.
-
Optional bridge
If you proceed with us, the consultation fee credits to the project and we move to measure-and-quote. If you proceed with someone else, we send you off with the spec.
What to expect
The shape of the engagement.
A design consultation is the working session between "we need new floors" and "this is the floor we want." It's also the right starting point if you're between materials, between rooms, or between two designers giving you different advice. We narrow the choices, lay out samples, and walk through how the decision plays with the rest of the room — paint, cabinetry, light, and the adjacent surfaces you already have.
Consultations work standalone — for clients who want a second opinion or aren't ready for a full quote — and as the first step of a residential or commercial engagement. The deliverable is the same either way: a narrowed shortlist with a written rationale, plus a sample kit to live with for a week before you commit.
Display lighting lies. Your room tells the truth. The consultation just makes sure you've heard the room out before you commit.
