Lindsey Grace Interiors | How It Works

When choosing the interior designer that’s right for you, it’s important for you to get to know their process. Here, at Lindsey Grace Interiors we spend a good amount of time making sure our clients know the process ahead of them, the services we offer, and making sure it’s the perfect fit for everyone involved.

The first step of every process is first filling out the “work with us” form found on our website. Whether you’re ready to kick-off your project, have a few questions about our services, or just want to get to know a bit more of what we are about, filling out this form is the best way to get in contact with us.

Once you fill out the “work with us” form, we’ll reach out to schedule a 15-Min Discovery Call. This is where we share more about our process, learn more about your project, as well as discuss budget, timeline, and expectations. We’ll discuss the package we recommend best to meet your project goals.

When the contract is signed, and the deposit is made- we take care of scheduling a kick-off meeting. This is where we meet in person, create a concrete scope of work, and meet any other members of the team. Following the kick-off meeting, we dive into the design process. We order samples, schedule meetings and present to you our designs with our digital design boards.

Once you’re in love with your new space, proposals have been signed and invoices have been paid- we take care of ordering, receiving, and inspecting of your new goodies. All you have to do is sit back and dream about your new home.

We love sharing about our process and client experiences. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have about working with an interior designer and what you can do to ensure you have a positive design experience. Stay tuned for more blog posts on where we break down each part of the process, answer FAQ’s and of course tips on how to design a life you love.

Master Bedroom | Perfectly Layering Neutrals

Often times clients come to us wanting help pulling together their space, but are nervous to invest their money into a space they can’t visualize. Whether it’s a new construction project that entails pulling together several finishes and fixtures, or a decorating project like this one- we always utilize realistic design boards before any orders are placed.

We love pulling together every detail in the space, and making it feel truly one of kind. We recently designed this stunning master bedroom and couldn’t wait to share it with you all. This space is an example of mixing not only patterns, but also price points- to achieve the perfect look.

Mixing neutrals, along modern sleek patterns is quickly becoming the trend to learn towards in decór. We love this striped upholstered bed frame for it’s updated, but also timeless feel. I love the side tables we chose for a high-end look with a great price tag. The little slide out drawer is also such a convenience for late night reading. The rug we chose brings warmth to the space and the pair of lamps add the perfect touch of metal. The subtle but stylish bench at the end of the bed anchors the entire space.

Spring Parade of Homes | How to Make Child + Entertainment Friendly Selections For Your Home

At Lindsey Grace Interiors, each design is specifically curated through a unique design process for each client because no vision is ever the same. However, there is one key component that remains the same. Each finish and fixture that goes into the space needs to check all the boxes of remaining durable, practical, and beautiful for years to come. We live in our homes, and whether we have busy children or love to entertain- the finishes and furnishings we invest in, need to stand up to our busy lives. In honor of the 2019 Spring Parade of Homes, I’m sharing a few tips and tricks for making those selections.

Flooring is by far one of the biggest decisions when it comes to selections for a new build. It’s the product that is going to get the most wear and tear. Whether you chose a real wood product or go the luxury vinyl tile route, the color and finish is going to make the biggest difference. I suggest going with a mid-tone finish, similar to these hardwoods we selected for a client while I designed for Bria Hammel Interiors. They are light enough to hide dirt and dust, while also having enough variation and character to hide minor scratches.

When it comes to tile, a good ceramic is my go-to option for durability. They are also very cost-effective, which is a major win. There are various shapes, colors, and sizes to make each design unique.

When it comes to fireplace design, I recommend you forgo the raised hearth to avoid yet another hard surface for children to trip on. Bonus, your TV will be in better view height and you won’t get that sore neck from strained viewing! Also, I recommend opting for open shelving to utilize baskets or drawer storage for toys and games. Either option makes for a much more organized space than doors with shelving.

I’m a huge fan of wallpaper in nurseries and children’s spaces. It’s the perfect space to add pattern and color. It also cuts down on the need for artwork. With that being said, wallpaper is an investment when it comes to the product and the labor. Install the wallpaper above wainscoting to ensure that your little “Picasso” doesn’t take matters into their own hands. Side note, if you aren’t already following Monika Hibbs on instagram, I highly recommend it!

Friday Favorites | Our Top Pinned Items This Week

Happy Friday everyone! It's been a busy couple weeks getting new construction plans finalized and selecting furniture for spring decorating installations. Although we started the week with a major snow storm in Fargo, it seems that the projects never slow down for very long. In true Midwestern fashion, we work through it all. With that said, I think I can speak for most- spring needs to hurry up! 

I love keeping you all up to date on the projects I've been working on, and one way to do that is sharing the inspiration I've been using to kick-start some of the most fun projects. It also allows me to share the love for other designers, a win-win. 

Starting each project from the ground up, I love digging into all the details with the team- from architects, to builders, to the home owners- team work truly makes the dream work. For one project, I fell in love with the idea of these warm wooden garage doors. They make the first impression of the home feel so warm, welcoming, and inviting. Just one of the many gorgeous images that inspire our projects. Enjoy this weeks top pinned items.

Friday Favorites | Our Top Pinned Items This Week

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

We have two weeks of Friday Favorites to catch up on this week. I am so excited to be meeting new clients, contractors and professionals in the Fargo community. Lindsey Grace Interiors has become a member of the Chamber of Commerce, which is such a wonderful and supportive community. I was able to attend the FMWF Women Connect through the Chamber last week, and I met so many amazing business women. We all had the honor of hearing Robyn Benincasa's story, it's safe to say she had the entire ball room inspired. 

Last week, I also had a content shoot with the lovely Sophie Grace Photo. All the original content on my blog and instagram is taken by Sophie, and she does such an amazing job! I can't wait to share with you all the exciting posts we have coming up in the next few months. 

I plan on starting a short blog series of 'random facts' that help clients get to know the crazy journey that has been my design career over the past several years. Although Lindsey Grace Interiors is new to the Fargo community, I am not new to the design industry. I've had experiences (and adventures) working in New York City, Minneapolis, and the Mid-West over the past several years, and I can't wait to share more with you all-stay tuned!

Now, to our Friday Favorites- the inspiring and gorgeous items I've been pinning this week.

Friday Favorites | Our Top Pinned Items This Week

It's that time of year when most of us are only thinking about where we can escape on a spring break getaway. We're having an especially cold winter in North Dakota, and I know the Fargo home builders can't wait to break ground on their upcoming spring projects. I think this weeks pins are a sign that I'm ready to say goodbye to the cold too!

This week we received tons of new fabric samples from our gracious vendors, and you may have seen a few sneak peeks on my instastories for upcoming projects. I love the new spring collections that are coming out and I am so excited to use them. I also wrote a blog on one of my favorite materials to utilize when selecting material finishes for a home. If you missed the post on my favorite cement tiles (and the sources to find them!) you can read it here.

It's been a busy week and we've been cramming inspiration in for upcoming projects. This week has also been filled with shoveling ourselves out of a winter storm, purchasing as many humidifiers as we can fit in our carts, and staying as cozy as possible inside by the fireplace. I always say January is when the Fargo winter becomes real, and my top pins actually turn to tropical vacation ideas. A girl can dream right?

I saved this idea for the hood, as well as the cooking storage that they utilized above the range top. This design maximizes counter space while utilizing interesting design opportunities.

When I hold intro meetings with clients to discuss their new projects, these shower doors are often on their wishlists. I love them too. It's a great way to bring character into a new build, or maintain the charm of an existing remodel. Of course, I'm always a sucker for a good cement tile.

Details. There was so much that went into this laundry room, and it payed off. I love the fresh subway tile that still looks classic but puts a twist on the 3x6 size we typically see. I'd love doing laundry if I had a space this pretty. 

Aside from navigating the North Dakota winter, I also posted a blog on staying organized with pretty accessories for the new year. If you missed it, check it out here. Happy Friday everyone!

Welcome to Lindsey Grace Interiors

I am so excited to announce the launch of my brand new business, Lindsey Grace Interiors. I’ve been back in Fargo for a few months now, and I am enjoying being “new again” to the area. It’s crazy how in just a short time so many wonderful new shops, restaurants, and developments have grown. With that, even better than the shopping- is the warm welcome I’ve received from family, friends, neighbors and local professionals. After being quite nomadic for the past few years, I have never felt more confident in choosing Fargo as the home base for my life, family and business.

So what exactly does this crazy business venture entail? Being a meaningful member of the community I had grown to love during my college years, the same community I grew to miss the last two years. I aim to help grow the Fargo community through partnering with homeowners, realtors, builders- while collaborating with the vendors that support them.

Over the past several years I’ve been blessed to learn from the best. I one hundred percent credit who I am as a designer to all the professors, mentors, bosses, coworkers and clients I’ve worked with. This career path wouldn’t be possible without every single person who’s helped me along the way- and for that I’m truly thankful.

With that knowledge, I am excited to bring a fresh perspective to the design industry of Fargo. Whether it’s project management for your new construction project or bringing in the finishing touches of decorating your new home, I’m ready to dive in. I truly believe everyone deserves to design a life they love, and I’m here to make that dream a reality.

With all the exciting things happening at Lindsey Grace Interiors, I will be keeping you up to date and the in know. I will be posting to the Lindsey Grace Interiors blog weekly. You can expect to see project reveals, what’s inspiring us, and learn about my favorite products. You’ll also see advice on home styling, decorating and hosting. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you don’t miss out on all the exciting things to come!
