Full-Service Furnishing
Our Full-Service Furnishing process takes your single-room, multi-room or whole home redesign from initial concept to final furniture installation. Your designer will begin with a discovery call followed by an in-person consultation to measure your space, define goals and discuss aesthetics. An initial mood board will then be developed based on discussed style and goals. Spatial planning will be executed with furniture & decor selection beginning after. Your design concept board with furnishing selections will be created and presented. This will be followed by any revisions and approval of all items. Your designer will then place and track all product orders. All items will be quality checked by MHI upon install. Furniture & decor will then be installed & styled by MHI upon arrival of all items.
E-Design
The e-design process begins with a discovery call and is followed by you providing photos, measurements and inspiration for your home to your designer during or after your consultation. Your designer will then begin creating your design mood board with thoughtfully sourced furniture & decor to fit your discussed aesthetic using dimensions and specifications provided within your discussed budget. Any revisions are to follow. After the design is presented and approved, you will follow the provided images and/or shopping lists to then purchase the items and set up your space on their own timeline. This service is provided at a “flat rate” fee based upon the scope of work and is often the most affordable option with the quickest turnaround.
MHI Client Testimonials
Marla and her team were recommended to us after having bad luck with the designers we hired to help remodel our home in Ellijay. What a Godsend! She delivered with everything she said! She was on time, kept us informed, and provided quality professional service! Her craftsmen are second to none! If you want quality, professional, and timely service you can't go wrong with MHI!
-Tom & Betty Roach, Ellijay, GA
Marla & her crew came in and completely transformed my space to look like a real life “Pinterest” kitchen! She took my kitchen from dull and boring to fresh and new within two weeks. I was amazed at the efficiency her crew had, the attention to detail Marla has, and for the constant communication that kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. Can’t sing MHI’s praises loud enough!
-Marlee Gentry, Canton, GA
MHI was not only efficient and attentive, but Marla also kept the needs of my husband at the absolute forefront. Her skills are insane and we are both deeply thrilled with all her hard work in designing our master bedroom and dining room. My favorite room in our house now is our master bathroom which was fully gutted and renovated by Marla’s team in record time. She goes above and beyond. 5 stars!
-Sarah & Alex Nichols, Marietta, GA
MHI was amazing to work with! Marla helped me bring my vision to life in a new apartment where none of my current furniture quite fit. She really listens to what you like and what your priorities for the space are and has incredible taste! She handles honest feedback and making changes to the design with such patience and understanding. Would love to work with her again!
