We're now approaching installation day, a major milestone in your design journey. This is the moment when our vision becomes reality, transforming your space into something extraordinary. To ensure everything goes smoothly, I've put together this guide to walk you through each step of the installation process, making it an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Before installation day, it's essential to prepare your space to ensure a smooth process and optimal results. Here's what you can do:
Clear the Area: Remove furniture, decorations, and any items that may obstruct the installation process. Clearing the space creates a clean canvas for the transformation.
Secure Valuables: Store away valuable or fragile items to prevent damage during installation. This precaution ensures your belongings remain safe throughout the process.
Ensure Accessibility: Make sure the installation area is easily accessible for the design team and their equipment. Clear pathways and provide necessary access details for a hassle-free process.
installation day
On installation day, the excitement peaks as the vision begins to take shape. Here's what to expect and how you can help:
Be Out of the House: For the smooth progress of the installation process, it's advisable for the client, including pets, to be out of the house during the installation period. This ensures the installation team can work efficiently and without interruptions.
Provide Access to the Home: Before leaving, ensure that you have provided the installation team with access to your home. This may include leaving keys, providing entry codes, or making arrangements for a designated point of entry. Clear pathways and ensure easy access to the installation area to facilitate the process.
Secure Valuables: Before leaving, make sure to secure any valuable or fragile items in a safe location to prevent damage or disruption during the installation process.
Plan Activities Elsewhere: Use installation day as an opportunity to explore local attractions, visit a coffee shop, or spend time with friends or family. Consider planning activities that keep you occupied and away from the installation site.
Consider Pet Accommodations: If you have pets, make arrangements for their care outside of the house during the installation. This ensures their safety and prevents any interference with the installation process.
By being out of the house during installation and providing access to your home, you allow the installation team to work efficiently and ensure the best possible outcome for your interior design project. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated in making the installation process successful.
