DESIGN DAY
A quick turn-around design-only service for clients willing to take on more. This eight hour service is great for clients who only need help finishing a room or two, or need guidance selecting materials for a construction project. We'll send you a shoppable list for you to turn the design into reality.
FULL SERVICE REMODELS + NEW BUILDS
Once we understand your family's preferences and how you live in your home, we'll create a thoughtful design that is equal parts beautiful + functional. From collaborating with your architect to creating a detailed construction book for your contractor, we make sure every design element is clearly communicated and thoughtfully executed. Throughout the process, we’re your advocate—ensuring everything runs smoothly and the end result the family home you've been daydreaming about.
STUDIO SESSION
Studio Sessions are great for local clients who need help making decisions for a remodel or furnishing their home. Together, we'll take a look at your inspiration, photos, and measurements and talk through your goals. We'll pull materials from our extensive sample library and offer suggestions for addressing your challenges. Sessions are two hours at our Larkspur interior design studio.
OUR FULL SERVICE PROCESS
1. PROJECT KICKOFF
The process starts with "homework" — a design questionnaire + secret Pinterest board to better get to know you and your preferences. We'll schedule a kickoff meeting in your home to review the homework and aesthetic direction.
​
2. DESIGN
We start by creating space plans (and elevations for construction projects). Then we source quality, unique furnishings and materials. We'll schedule a design presentation at our Larkspur office to go through the designs + all the samples so you can see and touch the materials.
3. ORDERING + TRACKING
Next, we'll order your items. We use a local receiving warehouse to unpack, inspect, and store your furnishings so that your home can be installed in one swoop. You'll receive a weekly update so you know exactly how things are progressing. We'll save you the headaches of dealing with damages, missing shipments and related issues yourself.
4. DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION
For projects with construction, we'll create a construction book with the specifications + drawings to ensure all aspects of the design are completed according to plan. We'll keep tabs on progress, scheduling site visits as needed - and you'll be receiving weekly updates along the way.
5. INSTALL
The day you've been daydreaming about is finally here! We'll schedule an install day (or two) to have your furniture delivered + placed according to the plan. We'll add accessories and style your space to complete your design.
I cannot recommend California Daydreams for interior design services in the Bay Area enough. Gina and her team helped us space plan and create a functional home that we love! They reimagined our home to make more sense for a family with kids. We brought the home up to date in a timeless and comfortable way.
