Clark and Aldine’s Interior Design team is committed to bringing your aesthetic vision to life, whether it’s a single room refresh or a large-scale renovation. Our design experts work hand-in-hand with you to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and purposeful. From concept boards to material selection, we manage every detail of the design process, ensuring a cohesive and polished final result. We conclude every project with professional styling and a photoshoot to capture your newly transformed space.

01

Discovery

Every new project with Clark and Aldine begins with a phone call. If we both feel it’s the right fit, we’ll schedule an in-person consultation to see your space and provide a tailored proposal. Once the agreement is signed and the initial payment is received, we officially kick off the project! We’ll dive into gathering all the essential information, including measurements, inspiration, site photos, and detailed discussions about timelines and budgets. Our goal is to ensure every detail is aligned, setting the stage for a successful and seamless experience.

02

Conceptual Design

This is where the magic unfolds at Clark and Aldine. Armed with insights from the discovery phase, we meticulously craft your custom concept design. This phase includes delightful elements like fabric swatches and finish samples to immerse you in the color palette and overall vision of your design.

During our Concept Design Presentation, we’ll explore floor plans, elevations, and lighting schemes, showcasing the initial samples that encapsulate our collective vision for your space. This step ensures that every aspect of the design resonates with your expectations and our high standards.

03

Sourcing and Purchasing

Once you approve the concept design, we’ll move forward with what we do best at Clark and Aldine—sourcing the perfect pieces and materials to bring your vision to life. During the final design meeting, we present the complete package, detailing every item we plan to purchase for your home. This includes design boards, final floor plans, and all chosen finishes and materials.

We will also provide a detailed review of your overall investment, giving you a clear understanding of the total cost associated with the furnishings and materials selected for your space. This ensures transparency and aligns our vision with your budget.

04

Construction

At Clark and Aldine, we streamline the construction process to ensure your peace of mind. Our team will coordinate and manage all design details with the necessary trades and vendors, conduct site visits, and maintain open communication about the progress of your project. You’ll receive weekly emails with updates, so you’re always informed and can look forward to what’s next, without any of the stress.

05

At Clark and Aldine, we manage every aspect of the furniture sourcing, ordering, and installation process with our trusted team.

Just sit back and watch the transformation unfold.

02

Pre-Construction

Once aligned on a project scope, a pre-construction contract will be submitted for signature and all upfront work will then commence. During this phase, Clark and Aldine will develop proposed space plans that incorporate all of the mandatory elements of your new space, as well as any “nice to haves” we’re able to pull off. From there we will sit down to review. Make any necessary changes and come to a final proposed space plan to move forward with. We then hold a Trades Day event at your home with all project stakeholders across trades, suppliers and vendors to discuss the project in great detail in order to obtain estimates for work. These numbers are then pulled together for a full project estimate and contract for you to sign off on prior to any purchasing or construction is to begin.

03

Construction Kickoff

Materials are ordered, trades professionals are scheduled and it is now time to officially kick off the project. Before anyone swings a hammer it is crucial that site preparation is completed. This includes, but is not limited to, roll away dumpsters and sanitation being dropped off on site, floor and room protection installed inside the home, and all necessary permit and architectural drawing visibly placed on site.

04

Rough-in

Demo has provided the runway for our rough-in construction phase, which is of the utmost importance in the process and by far the most lengthy. This is the time all framing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC are roughed in for final placement…and the time for any final adjustments and additions to be made. Because once we close up the walls it becomes far more challenging and costly to make changes.

05

Finish Work

Upon rough-in inspection approval we prepare to close up the walls. This is the phase where drywall goes up and all of the fun design elements such as tile, cabinetry, moldings, paint and fixtures are installed. After spending so much time seeing nothing but the details that are ultimately hidden behind the walls, we breathe so much life into the space and your dreams quickly become realities.

06

Punch-out

Throughout the finish work process we have all taken notes and documented the small things that need to be addressed before the project can be marked “Complete”. A time is scheduled for all key stakeholders to walk the space in great detail and discuss items such as gouges in the wall or trim molding, cabinet door adjustments, paint touch ups, and so on. A final punch out list is compiled, signed by everyone involved, and work immediately commenced so we can get you back in your home!

07

Move In

The time has come for Clark and Aldine to deliver and install all of the furnishings you’ve been waiting so long to see inside your newly designed and constructed home. Clark and Aldine will carefully unwrap, install and style your space leaving nothing left for you to do other than take it all in and enjoy for years to come.
