Design Services

When you imagine your dream home, it may be one where you entertain quests in a sophisticated, up-scale, beautiful environment that reflects who you are. Your dream may be to renovate your home to a “period-style,” such as Victorian, modern urban, old world, classical, or romantic. Your goal may be to feel more comfortable and secure in your home.

Wherever yours dreams take you, be sure to surround yourself with colors you adore. Envelope yourself in luxurious velvet, exotic animal motifs, romantic Victorian all-over wall motifs, and real gold accents. If you want the best, look for a decorative painter who is highly creative and has invested in specialized training.

The benefits of working with the creative professionals from Johanna's Design Studio include:

• You'll enjoy our unique and custom signature finishes, signed by the artist, and named for the client. No wall finishes will be duplicated in another home.
• Our clients are treated with respect and dignity, throughout the entire process.
• Each client receives the benefits of our extensive training and on-going education, in the hottest new looks, finishes, and products.
• Every client will receive professional results, attention to detail, on time and on schedule — no surprises!
• Our clients receive one-on-one treatment— Johanna personally focuses on each project through teamwork, empathy, and communication. She has a unique ability to relate to each client, and quickly identify their goals and vision for the new reality in their homes.

Pricing

“How do you determine your pricing?”

This is usually the first question we get from potential clients. We completely understand that budget is usually the most pressing factor involved in your decision to purchase hand-made artwork such as murals and wall-finishes. Like all custom-made products, they are create to match your specifications and are thus all unique situations. There are many factors involved in determining the pricing for a commission. These factors include size, timeline, complexity of design and location.

When asked that question, our answer is usually...

“Well, that depends. Let us ask you a few questions...”

Once we get a better understanding of your needs, wants and budget, we can put together a proposal which includes 1-3 design sketches or sample boards, which will not only solve your decorating problems and address your concerns and questions, but will also fit within your budget. We usually come up with several options that you can choose from, and we take the time to explain the steps involved in each option.

Some general notes on pricing:

• A 50% deposit and a signed estimate proposal are required to schedule work.
• Pricing may be adjusted higher for complex and rush jobs.
• Discounts are available for large and multiple orders.
• Any changes to the original proposal will be reflected as a change order.

Other Considerations. Our pricing reflects these additional factors:

• What is the level of detail and complexity of the artwork or faux finish?
• Is the artwork a large piece (over 100 square feet), or something smaller?
• Are there portraits involved?
• Does the design require extensive research, models, and/or travel time?
• Does the client already have a design concept, and viable reference materials?
• Is the project a wall space, or a custom canvas? Is it on furniture or cabinetry, which will need to be sanded or refinished?
• What is the quality and stability of the surface to be finished? Does it need surface preparation, patching, priming, or a color base?
• Where is the surface located? Is it a stairwell, or a ceiling? Is scaffolding is needed, must it be custom-built?
• Will an option be to paint the mural work on canvas, and have it installed by a professional wallpaper hanger?
• Where is the site of the project? Is travel and hotel stay required?

Contracts and Scheduling. After the client approves the rendering or sample board, Johanna's Design Studio signs the contract, and schedules a starting time. All jobs are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and are only scheduled after the deposit is received. If you are on a deadline, please let us know this in the planning stage. We are sometimes booked months in advance.

Please contact Johanna with any questions about your project.
