1. Why Remodeling Is a Transformative Opportunity
Think of remodeling as a collaboration between your ideas and the expertise of professionals who bring those ideas to life. It’s a process that involves exploring possibilities, solving challenges, and ultimately crafting a space that feels unmistakably yours.
2. Step-by-Step Process of working with us on your Remodeling Project
a. Dream and Plan: We begin with conversation. What are your goals? What’s not working? What dreams do you have for your space? We’ll help you shape those ideas and explore what's possible, creating visuals and design concepts to guide your decisions.
b. Budgeting: Budgeting doesn’t have to be stressful. We work closely with you to create a realistic plan that reflects your priorities. We’ll help you distinguish between what’s essential and what can be phased or adapted—always aiming to create the biggest impact within your means.
c. Collaborate with Professionals: We work with trusted contractors and consultants and stay closely involved throughout the process. Our team brings both technical precision and aesthetic clarity to every step—so that your vision stays intact from design through completion.
d. Construction: During construction, we don’t disappear. We stay engaged, answer questions, and advocate for your vision as it becomes reality. We're here to troubleshoot, clarify, and ensure quality and consistency all the way through.
e. Finishing Touches: This is where everything comes together. From selecting furniture and lighting to styling the final details, we help make your space feel finished and deeply personal—so when you walk in, it feels like home.
3. Our Role as Your Designer and Collaborator
The Role of a Designer: How MBH STUDIOS Guides Your Remodeling Journey
As a design studio, we’re not just here to “make it pretty.” Our job is to guide you through the process, ask the right questions, and translate your ideas into something tangible and transformative. At MBH STUDIOS, we offer full-service interior design with a bespoke approach tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
Concept Development and Initial Presentation
We start by getting to know you and to share our approach and capabilities. This helps us align early and set a shared direction.
Site Survey and Measurements
Understanding your space is key. We assess your home’s layout, condition, and any unique challenges—and begin identifying design opportunities.
Understanding Your Vision: Design Discovery
Through questionnaires and in-depth collaborative conversations, we learn about your daily routines, aesthetic preferences, and functional needs. That insight informs everything we do.
Concept Development
After analyzing your questionnaire and initial discussions, we’ll present a comprehensive design concept. This includes:
Preliminary floor plan designs
Moodboards to capture the desired aesthetic
Concept sketches that bring your ideas to life
3D Modeling and Digital Renderings, To help you picture the final result
Ongoing Collaboration
Open communication is key to a successful project. We schedule regular check-ins, refine ideas based on your feedback, and work together to get every detail just right. This collaborative approach ensures smooth progress and a design that truly reflects your needs.
Material Selection and Samples
With access to an extensive network of vendors, we curate options that suit your taste and budget. You’ll get hands-on experience with samples so you feel confident in every choice.
4. Tips for Homeowners
Communicate Openly: While we handle the details, your input is essential. Regular check-ins keep the project aligned with your goals.
Plan for the Unexpected: We always aim for smooth sailing, but even the best projects have surprises. A little buffer in your budget—and trust in the process—goes a long way.
Focus on Your Priorities: Keep your goals front and center to avoid getting sidetracked by trends or extras. It’s easy to get swept up in trends or Pinterest boards, but we’re here to help you stay grounded in what truly serves you and your lifestyle.
At MBH STUDIOS, we take it as an honor when you invite us into your home and your life. We believe great design is deeply personal—and that the best outcomes come from trust, communication, and creativity shared between client and designer.
If you’re ready to reimagine your home, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
