Design House
``As a partner in your vision, Bennett Interiors strives to create exquisite spaces that our clients want to surround themselves in.``
We follow the basic principles of interior design; however, there is nothing written in stone when it comes to what you will receive. Each project is tailored on an individual basis. As we all know, some like it hot, and others like it cold. The truth is when choosing your designer in simple terms, make sure your designer gets you and you get them. We have had clients that want everything explained to a “T” and why, and then again others who have wanted us to make every selection on their behalf without much input at all. As our client, it’s your choice. We will provide you with our basic letter of agreement, our guidelines, our services and a masterplan, but as time progresses so do we, learning more and more about you and your taste, and this is why we strongly believe to allow each design project to take on a life of it’s own according to the home owner.
