Process

  • Our process begins with an in-depth consultation where we get to know you, your preferences, and your project goals. This initial phase allows us to understand how you live, what inspires you, and what you want your space to feel like - creating a strong foundation for the design work ahead.

  • With a clear understanding of your objectives, we develop conceptual sketches and mood boards that capture the essence of your project. During this phase, we explore design concepts, color palettes, and material directions to ensure the overall vision reflects your style and aligns with your lifestyle.

  • Once the design direction is established, we refine the details. This includes space planning and layout optimization to enhance functionality and flow, along with the selection and customization of materials, finishes, furnishings, and lighting. With access to an extensive network of premium suppliers and artisans, every element is thoughtfully curated to elevate the overall aesthetic of your space.

  • Following your approval, we move into project management and execution. We coordinate closely with architects, contractors, and vendors to bring the design to life - overseeing the process from start to finish.

    The project concludes with a final reveal, where you experience the transformation of your space and the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define our work.

Our decade-long relationships with trusted contractors and vendors help bring projects in on time and under budget. Under Key + Shade’s watchful eye, the design process becomes a joyful experience.
