Trusted Home Stagers in North Vancouver, BC

I am sure most of us have had past experiences dealing with businesses that don't own up to what they say. You may be tired of poor communication and lack of professionalism from people you have hired to do a job. Interior design is largely a referral business. Accordingly, I regard my clients satisfaction in the highest regard. In order to ensure an equal level of dedicated service and attention, I limit the number of projects I work on at any given time. I pride myself on treating each client as though they are my only client giving them my 100% attention, focus and top notch service. Respectfully, I also treat the client's budget as if it were my own money, making sure to thoughtfully and successfully get the most out of every dollar invested. Since 2008, I have been a member of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association which mandates the dedication of promoting professionalism from it's members. I also work closely with other fellow members in the industry ensuring that collaboration on projects is held to the highest standard. I'm not happy unless YOU are happy. It's important to me to receive a positive reference from you at the end of the project based on my own merit.

I offer a combination of either a fixed fee for certain projects and an hourly fee for other services I offer. You'll find that I'm competitively priced and offer various services that will personally fit both your needs and your pocket book. My hourly fee is $125 hour. Because I believe that everyone deserves a well designed interior space at any budget, I offer services for smaller projects and budgets, since many other design firms won't even consider a project smaller in size. Miccaro Designs makes hiring the design help you need affordable in two ways. Being a small and efficient company allows me to focus on offering a hands-on service at reasonable rates compared to large organizations with high overhead. Secondly, I do not mark up the cost of contractor labour, furniture or fixtures. My clients pay only for the invested hours of design time, therefore the discounts I am able to attain gets passed on to them. For a detailed list of services and rates, please refer to my "Services" pages.

In an effort to help me create beautiful and functional spaces for you, I suggest developing a visual reference file of images of items that capture the feeling, color, textures and function ability of what you are trying to achieve. You can even draw inspiration from many sources such as fashion, art, travel, sports, books, music, stationary, etc. The pictures you show me don't only have to be pictures of interior spaces although it helps. Show me whatever tickles your fancy!

After the design is complete, I'm happy to provide you with a shopping list of items you wish to purchase. This list will have the product name, model and description to aid in purchasing. Please note, if your purchase items on your own, many times things will end up costing you more since you will not be able to take advantage of any trade discounts.

Absolutely and it's an expected practice. My goal is to make sure that you make a well informed decision when looking for help with designing that interior that you deserve. There are many great design firms out there that do great work and then of course there are others firms that are no so great. As much as I want to help you with your project, I want to make sure you're comfortable with the firm you have chosen to assist you with your project. That's the name of the game. It's about mutual trust, faith in the select designer, open communication and respect moving forward. The design process then unfolds naturally, in a comfortable way and becomes a pleasure for all involved. We are in this together, so let's make it a fun, positive experience.
