WHERE WE BRING
YOUR IDEAS TO LIFE
From Inspiration to Reality.
With Modernize Methods LLC, we can create a visual recommendation plan that is customized to your style. Our visual recommendation plans incorporate modern elements, colors, and stylish elements, tailored to your preferences and laid out in an easy-to-follow manner. You will see all of our suggested updates in an easy-to-follow rendering, along with a statement sheet of all new elements and recommendations, and shopping lists with links to where you may purchase them.
To accomplish your design goals, you don't have to renovate your home, remodel, or have a construction rebuild in your space. We work with you to transform your ideas into reality by researching new colors, decorative elements, lighting, new flooring, cabinetry, window-coverings, furnishing, and other updates that achieve your room design goals while staying within your budget.
The result is a completely new look for your space without the high cost of remodeling or the lengthy timeline. In most cases, this can be completed your project Visual Design Recommendation Plan within a week or two of your initial consultation appointment.
As part of our process, we start with an initial consultation to review all your ideas for your space, it's functionality, and your budget. The budget and timeline for the project, as well as the overall room theme you wish to achieve.
Following that, we begin to work on the design layouts, research element updates and color choices, offering design solutions that are streamlined, fresh and tailored to your needs.
We provide a concept approval layout and once approved, we prepare a customized Visual Design Recommendation Plan that includes a full-color rendering of your design, updated elements within your space. This is never a cookie-cutter design rendering. It is personalize to your directives and finalized with your space.
We bring your vision to life and create an easy-to-follow plan that you can accomplish on your own or with the help of our referred professionals. You will also receive a shopping list to confirm where to purchase the updated items in your design recommendation plan.
Our design packages are priced as a flat rate service. Two packages include variable element update items, which include our basic package for $1565 and a luxury package for $2495. Additional, add-on packages include Feature Walls Designs, Storage Walls and Entertainment Features Designs for an additional $1595.
