The Process
From First Call to Final Reveal
Here's exactly what working with Reid Design looks like — no surprises, no stress.
Discovery Call
A free 20-minute phone or video call — no commitment, no pressure. We'll talk about your space, your goals, your timeline, and your budget. The real goal is to figure out if we're a good fit for each other. I only take projects I know I can do well.
Come ready to tell me what's not working. The honest answer is always more useful than the polished one.
Design Concept
I go to work. You get a full design concept: a mood board that captures the direction, a floor plan showing furniture arrangement, and a curated product selection with everything from sofas to throw pillows. Every piece is chosen for a reason.
We meet to walk through the concept together. You'll see everything before a single item is purchased. If something isn't right, we revise — one full revision round is included.
Installation & Reveal
Everything arrives, gets placed, styled, and accessorized — down to the last throw pillow and stack of books. I'm there for installation day to make sure every piece ends up exactly right. Then I step back, you walk in, and this is the part I love most.
For full-service projects, professional photos are included so you have beautiful images of your completed space.
Design Consultation
We meet in person at your space. I take measurements, photos, and a lot of notes. We walk through the rooms together and talk about what's working, what isn't, and what you've always wished the space could feel like.
This is where I get to know how you actually live — not just what you think you're supposed to say to a designer. The more honest you are, the better the result.
Sourcing & Ordering
Once you approve the concept, I handle everything. I place all orders, track shipments, coordinate with vendors, and manage any lead times. As a professional designer, I have access to trade-only furniture lines and pricing not available in retail stores.
You'll receive regular updates as things come in. No logistics headaches, no chasing tracking numbers — that's my job.
Common Questions
Things People Ask Before We Start
It depends on the scope. A color consultation starts at $250 for a 2-hour session. A room design package starts at $1,200 and includes your mood board, floor plan, and shopping list. Full-service whole-home design is custom-quoted. I'm always happy to talk budget on our discovery call — there's usually a starting point that works.
Not at all. I love working with pieces you already own — a room that incorporates meaningful things feels more personal than one that's entirely new. We'll identify what's worth keeping, what can be repurposed, and what genuinely needs to go.
Yes — I serve Indianapolis and surrounding communities including Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Zionsville, and Noblesville. For projects further afield, reach out. E-design is available nationwide.
A color consultation is a single 2-hour visit. Room design packages take 4–6 weeks. Full-service runs 8–16 weeks depending on furniture lead times. I'll give you a realistic estimate, not a best-case scenario.
Every package includes one full revision round. The thorough discovery process means major revisions are rare, but the protection is always there. Nothing gets ordered until you give explicit approval.
My primary focus is residential, but I'm open to small commercial spaces — boutiques, offices, short-term rentals. Reach out and describe your project.
I have accounts with vendors not open to the public. These lines offer more distinctive pieces, and my trade pricing is passed along to you — frequently offsetting a portion of the design fee.
