FAQ about Design Services
Are you licensed as an interior designer?
Currently there is no licensing in the state of MA for interior design. In anticipation of future licensing, the NCIDQ (National Certification for Interior Design Qualification) was established. This intensive 2 day exam tests all areas of interior design. Anne Langton was NCIDQ certified in 1983.
How do you charge?
Each project is different. There are two ways we charge for design services
- Based on an outlined “Scope of Services”, a fee proposal is presented for approval which includes a range of fees. This is done prior to any services performed. If services are requested that are not within the “Scope of Services”, an hourly fee is charged.
- Project is completely hourly based
What if I only want interior design services not organizing services?
We offer both services independently or combined. Our goal is to assist you in meeting the goals of your “working space”
When starting an office renovation, when should I hire an interior designer?
The earlier the better! Utilizing a designer early in the process avoids costly mistakes down the road. For example how do the power and data locations line up with the furniture placement? Is the lighting plan appropriate for work area, display walls and conference areas? Are walls located in the best location? Will the direction of door swings create issues when furniture is added? When handled early in the process, these mistakes can be avoided resulting in a well designed space
I am thinking of leasing/purchasing an office space but not sure if it will suit my needs?
A quick study and space plan can answer this question saving money if it is not suitable and providing peace of mind if deciding to move forward.
Do you have access to resources that I would not find online?
YES! After more than 25 years of experience in interior design, we have developed a vast list of vetted resources through out New England.
