  • Yes! Of course.

  • Totally fine! It's important we review it together to ensure the size and aesthetic matches the design intent.

  • Yes. NOLA Designs does work with many local consultants and will make recommendations for professional services or trade services upon request. It will be your responsibility to retain the services of such vendors. Our team will provide support to help you in retaining those services.

  • During the project initiation phase, we will talk at our Kick-Off meeting. You can expect to follow up emails to clarify any questions that may arise after our call. These questions usually assist with the development of your store design as we move into the Development phase. We will exchange emails daily if more information is needed from you.

    Concept development phase, we will meet shortly after your kick-off meeting to review preliminary designs to ensure we are moving in the right design direction.

    The Design Implementation phase will be quiet, as we work away at sourcing furniture and fixtures and drawings (if required) for your store. You will hear from us when the furniture list and drawings (if required are complete).

    Project Support Phase & Visual merchandising execution - we will be in communication with you daily as we coordinate with you, vendors and/or contractors to get your project mobilized and built. We will be exchanging emails as needed until the store is complete and ready to open.

  • Each service level has a certain amount of rounds of revisions in order to get the store design to where you want it.

  • Yes! The Store Design Mini service was primarily created as virtual service. I can work virtually for my other services as well, however any store visits (as typically offered in these services) will have to be done virtually.

  • Yes! It is standard to get all NOLA Designs projects to be photographed. We do cost sharing with our clients so they have rights to the photos as well in order to share to their social media channels and other marketing channels. For GTA projects we work with our trusted and amazingly talented interior photographer.

  • We exclusively offer design services. However, we are here to support you 100% throughout the ordering, installation, and build-out process.
