OUR PROCESS
Designing your home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. At Gracia Taylor Design, we guide you through a seamless, thoughtful process—starting with an in-depth consultation to understand your needs, lifestyle, and vision. From concept sketches and floor plans to carefully curated mood boards, every detail is tailored to reflect your style.
Explore our six-step design process and discover how we bring your vision to life, step by step.
CONSULT
Every project begins with a Consult Call—an essential first step to understand your needs, lifestyle, and how you use your space. During this conversation, we’ll walk you through our Investment Guide, outlining our services, process, and what to expect. If we’re the right fit, we’ll move forward with a Service Agreement, officially kicking off your design journey.

DESIGN
This is where your vision truly comes to life. During the Design Presentation, you’ll see a fully developed concept, complete with materials, furnishings, and finishes. In the In-Depth Client Review, we fine-tune details based on your feedback, ensuring every element aligns with your lifestyle and aesthetic. The result is a Final Design Plan, providing a clear direction for the next phase. If needed, we also develop a Contractor Plan to ensure a seamless implementation process.

DISCOVER
The Discover phase is all about understanding your vision and lifestyle. We start with a Design Discovery Questionnaire and an Inspiration Collection, where you share your aesthetic preferences and functional needs. Next, we conduct an In-Person or Virtual In-Depth Site Visit to gather key details—ensuring your space is tailored to your family's everyday life.

SOURCE
With the Final Design Plan approved, we move into the sourcing phase—where every detail is thoughtfully selected to bring the vision to life. I personally curate furnishings, finishes, and décor with a meticulous eye for quality, function, and beauty. Clients are involved through Curated Product Proposals, ensuring selections align with their style and needs. After an In-Depth Client Review, we finalize choices and begin Product Procurement, setting the stage for installation.

CONCEPT
With insights from our discovery phase, we begin shaping your design vision. Using Moodboards, Concept Sketches, and Floor Plans, we bring new layouts to life, emphasizing key design elements discussed. This phase transforms ideas into a cohesive, tangible concept, giving you a clear picture of your space’s potential.

This is where the magic happens! I oversee every detail, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to reality. From coordinating contractors and third-party work to managing Product Delivery and Installation, I handle it all with precision. Once the foundation is set, I bring in the finishing touches with Final Styling, transforming your space into a beautifully curated home.
To celebrate the transformation, a Photography Shoot captures your finished space, and you’ll receive a Goodbye & Home Guide—a detailed reference with fabric care, cut sheets, paint colors, and everything you need for effortless upkeep.
