If you’re like many people, you think working with an interior designer is for the rich and famous. More and more people are realizing that the right interior design team can save you time, money and remorse over your poor choices as you try to navigate a project on your own.
According to Holly Bero, Principal Designer and Owner of H. Bero Interiors, “We have a clear process that gets us to the heart of the client’s needs and wants within budget. That process includes a consultation phase, where clients come with a prepared wish list, a budget and inspirational examples of what they like in other projects they’ve seen.”
At that first meeting, Bero and her team take measurements, digital scans and a lot of photos. The clients are given an in-depth questionnaire, designed to make them really think about the way they currently utilize their space.
While the next portion of the consultation phase takes place over a few months, that is because H. Bero is creating a top-to-bottom recommendation in a 3D model where everything is pre-selected. “This includes furniture, accessories, and all products to be used and colors in combination,” said Bero.
The presentation phase, if accepted, is then followed by the construction phase which H. Bero Interiors fully manages from start to finish. In one of their latest projects, Driftwood Point, H. Bero Interiors was selected to reimagine a family’s dated split-level great room.
“We took down all the walls between the living, dining, and kitchen to open the entire space,” said Bero. Then, they moved the kitchen to the opposite side of the room to improve flow and create a larger working footprint and island. An updated window and door package was installed, plus decorative lighting, and use of one of the team’s favorite design features – three-tone cabinets.
“The crisp white cabinets with white oak is a beautiful combination, but the splash of charcoal on the island gave it the contrast and edge that it needed to stand out,” Bero said.
The Zellige-inspired tile in the kitchen and updated stone on the fireplace gives the space warmth with their perfectly imperfect quality and color Clear Process, Excellent Results tones. To finish the space, H. Bero Interiors sourced family-friendly furnishings that are just as beautiful as they are practical for the client’s growing family and desire to entertain loved ones.
When asked why you should hire H. Bero Interiors, local realtor Michelle Wallace of Driftwood Point replied, “Just hire them, you won’t regret it. They think of everything you never realized you needed. I still can’t believe that this is MY kitchen/living room every day.”
