Over the summer I tackled one of my biggest fears – public speaking. I presented a business challenge to a women’s networking group and asked if anyone had connections within the short-term rental industry. I was just hoping that would be able to meet with someone that could help me better understand the industy. What I got was far beyond anything I could have imagined!
A participant sent a message to tell me about Reliable Residence; a new company that pairs traveling medical professionals with furnished housing. Brilliant! Healthcare workers deserve every bit of the comforts of home – and a good nights sleep.
On a hope and a prayer, I sent a message on LinkedIn and asked if I could pick their brain over lunch or coffee sometime. The owner, Christina, replied and ultimately changed the direction of the next few months! She said that they were launching their website soon and expecting to be contacted by homeowners still needing to furnish their spaces. Would I want to meet soon? Would I ever!
We had a delightful virtual meeting where I learned that she herself is a doctor and has horror stories about various accommodations during medical school rotation travels. I also learned that their clients really value a ‘lived in’ space that genuinely feels like a home and not a hotel. That means artwork and accessories and all the things. And it would be great if all of those things were available to them in one place.
Then she asked a pivotal question: Do you offer multiple-room packages? So someone could furnish up to a 4-bedroom house all at once? You know what – I have been thinking about that for awhile – but haven’t quite figured it out yet. Feels like this might be a good time for that, eh? Mission accepted!
SO. How can a Whole-House Design be both comprehensive AND affordable?! Well, it took some noodling, but we think we came up with a pretty good solution!
Because the personalized designs take up the majority of our time, we will reserve them for the most impactful rooms: the bedroom(s) and living room. These personalized designs include photorealistic 3D images of the new rooms and a custom clickable catalog with direct links to 8 of the most impactful products for each room. That means all those ‘big ticket’ items will be unique to you and truly reflect your style!
. . . . and T H E N . . .
We layer in those accessories and decor items with our pre-fab designs in THE COLLECTION.
The Whole-House Design package includes 4 Collection designs of your choice! These designs only have clickable catalogs, are pre-selected, and are available for anyone to purchase directly from our website. You can filter by Collection type, room type, color scheme, and total product cost!
As we mentioned, the Collection designs do not include a photorealistic image. This is because they live on the website at all times for all to see. So it is challenging to provide you a preview without quite literally giving it all away. So here’s where we landed. The product image includes extreme close-ups of pivotal products you you can get a sense of the vibe…
…and then the descriptions are jam packed with all the details we can muster! In fact, these descriptions are a real treasure trove. They also include the Total Product Cost and icons to show you which products are included. The last thing we want is for there to be any surprises when you go to make the purchases.
If you have purcased a Collection design directly from the website, you will instantly receive the clickable catalog in your email inbox! However, if you are choosing them as part of your Whole-House Design, you will receive your personalized and pre-fab catalogs together.
You can click on any of the images or descriptions to see each of the products we’ve selected for you! Now you can put together your new room on your own timeline – and breathe that sigh of relief.
If you are interested in a Whole-House Design package, schedule a Free 15 Minute Meet + Greet here. If all goes well and you’re ready to get started, you will need to submit a $1,000 deposit and schedule your consultation.
If your project will be virtual, email us photos and dimensions of your room. If you need assistance, we’ve got a photo guide and measurement template to help you out.
During the consultation, we will talk about your budget, style, and needs for your space. We’ll take a look at the style boards on our Pinterest page and talk about what you react strongly to – both good and bad. And if you have your own boards going, we’ll want to check those out, too.
Thank you so much for choosing Insighed Designs! If you have any questions at all whatsoever, do not hesitate to ask! And if you have a one-room project to tackle, we can help with that, too. Check out our Online Interior Design package!
