At Dory & Dirk, we combine expert guidance with your personal style to create a space that’s uniquely yours. Here’s how we work together with you through each step of the design process:

1. Inspiration Discovery

Together, we explore a variety of sources—from magazines to online inspiration—to find the styles that resonate with you. This shared journey sets the foundation for your design.

2. Space Analysis

We visit your space to take precise measurements and photos. This step is crucial for creating detailed design files and virtual mock-ups that reflect the real dimensions of your project.

3. Focal Point Selection

In collaboration with you, we choose an inspiring piece to anchor your design. Whether it’s a unique throw rug or distinctive wallpaper, this selection guides the aesthetic and color palette.

4. Furniture Strategy

We discuss and determine the furniture placement and selections that best fit your space, functionally and aesthetically, while adhering to the chosen design theme and color scheme.

5. Visual Coordination

Our designers craft detailed design boards and online mock-ups, which we review together to ensure that every element aligns with the design before moving forward.

 6. Material Harmony

We create a cohesive mix of textures and colors, considering all elements from furniture to doors. This process involves your input to guarantee the materials reflect your desired atmosphere.

7. Wall Treatments

Choosing the right paint or wallpaper is a joint decision, ensuring that the choice not only sets the mood but also complements the main color theme as envisioned.

8. Flooring Decisions

We guide you through selecting flooring materials that complement and contrast with the walls, based on our comprehensive material and color analysis.

9. Furniture Placement

Together, we position your furniture as planned, optimizing the layout for beauty and functionality, ensuring it meets your lifestyle needs.

10. Lighting and Finishing Touches

The final touches include positioning lighting fixtures to enhance both the functionality and ambiance of the room. This step also involves final approvals from you to celebrate the completion of your new space.
