Designpreneur approaches client needs with a deep understanding rooted in extensive experience. The process begins with an initial presentation designed to capture the client’s preferences and style. During this stage, the team carefully observes client reactions to various design styles, such as classical, neoclassical, contemporary, or Fusion. By noting specific preferences, they tailor the design accordingly. For instance, while presenting different options for a kitchen, living space, or garden, they offer three to four reference images, allowing the client to select what resonates most. This feedback guides the next phase of the project. Within a week of signing the agreement, the company prepares detailed Virtual images including rendered images for a virtual walkthrough. Using 360-degree live renderings, they guide the client through each room, ensuring every detail aligns with their vision before finalization. Nothing left for Imagination.
