Our Philosophy

Dedicated to the belief that every project has a unique soul just as distinctive as each client, it’s our mission to evoke that personality through the built environment. We draw inspiration from a wide range of diverse sources such as architecture, history, fashion, art, travel and global culture, photography, nature, and graphic design, to name a few.

Our imagination knows no bounds and we believe in creating authentic interiors that take end users on an experiential journey. Our comprehensive approach to design considers every aspect and element, from the design narrative and function to the smallest details that contribute to the overall design or brand. This holistic approach ensures your project is designed cohesively and carefully orchestrated with unique, thoughtful, and intentional consideration.

Our Design Process

At Mabel Design Co., we lead our full-service interior design projects from conception through to completion as the primary point of contact for consultants, contractors, trades, and clients throughout the project duration. There are several moving parts and numerous decisions to make within each project, and following a methodical, phased approach guides our projects through all the necessary steps and tasks. Aligning with our process maintains the appropriate sequential flow and timely efficiencies of an interior design project. The following comprehensive process allows us to manage each task, resulting in the best possible outcome of a project and a smooth and enjoyable experience for our clients.

 
 
 
  • All projects begin with a complimentary 30-minute discovery call where we learn a bit about each other, the project, and have an opportunity to ask questions. Subsequently, we schedule an on-site consultation to tour the space and formulate a complete scope-of-work. This information allows us to prepare a detailed interior design fee proposal post-consultation in studio, which is tailored specifically to your needs and goals.

    For our Virtual Interior Design services, we will conduct a virtual consultation instead of an in-person visit to see the space.

  • Understanding the project objectives and requirements, the needs of the end user, and the intention of the interior is crucial to beginning an interior design project. Engaging through conversation and questionnaires, we conduct a thorough briefing to establish a clear project vision. Reviewing the project site and/or architectural drawings allows us to gain an in-depth understanding of the existing conditions, so that we can analyze and identify the spatial capacity.

  • The creation of a thoughtful narrative is developed through conceptualization and preliminary space planning, informing the overall design direction. A visual look and feel focuses on our design philosophy and key design ideas which will act as our guide throughout design development.

  • As we move towards materializing the design direction, our focus shifts to refining the design through strategic planning, elevating, modelling, and the selection of finishes, fixtures, equipment, and furniture. It’s through this phase that the design concept transforms into a tangible reality.

  • Upon design approval, we prepare construction drawings and specifications, detailing all elements and components of the project for seamless execution of construction. Working closely with contractors and other key partners, we coordinate regarding project costs and obtaining necessary permits, to prepare the project for proceeding into construction.

  • We actively review shop drawings and construction progress to ensure all work is executed according to the design intent and construction documents. Advocating for our clients, we safeguard your investment by protecting the design vision and addressing any unforeseen challenges which may arise throughout the construction and installation period.

  • As we bring your project to a close, we conduct a final assessment of deficiencies, and prepare the interiors for a professional photo shoot and client handover.
