Design Process
Measurements & Pictures of Space
Depending on your selected package, you will either provide photos and measurements of your space, or schedule an on-site visit for our team to gather measurements and photos for you. This ensures we have an accurate understanding of scale, layout, and existing conditions before design begins.
Consultation Meeting
Once measurements and photos are complete, we’ll meet for your first consultation—either virtually or on-site. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your vision, color and texture preferences, budget, timeline, and how you want the space to function day to day. This conversation allows us to establish the overall direction and create a mood board that guides the design, selections, and styling decisions throughout the project.
Sourced Decor List & 3D Renderings
Based on your consultation, we develop a curated décor and furniture plan tailored to your space. We also will create two 3D renderings of our suggested looks to help you visualize possible options. All of these items become available to view in your personalized Houzz Client Portal.
Design Review Meeting
We’ll walk through the proposed design(s) together, reviewing layout, materials, and key selections. We guide you on timing and priorities to help ensure availability and smooth delivery. This is your opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, and make refinements before finalizing the plan.
Selection & Purchasing of Final Items
You’ll have the opportunity to review all selected items and their pricing, and approve or decline each piece. Once the final design is approved, a purchase order link will be made available in your client portal, where you can complete payment.
Item Ordering & Delivery
Once purchased, items are ordered by our team and delivered according to retailer timelines. We work to streamline deliveries whenever possible and keep you informed of upcoming delivery windows or any potential delays.
On-Site Final Styling
After all items are delivered, our team completes on-site installation and styling—assembling smaller pieces, placing décor, planting pots, and styling everything together into a polished, cohesive space.
Enjoy!
Your space is complete and ready to enjoy. Relax, host, unwind, and take in a beautifully designed outdoor space—without having had to manage the details.
A Few Helpful Notes
Common questions and important details to guide you through our design experience.
Do I need to already know what style I want?
Not at all. Many of our clients come to us with only a general feeling or inspiration (or none at all). We’ll guide you through the process, help clarify your preferences, and translate them into a design that fits your home and lifestyle.
What is the mid-project review meeting?
This is a collaborative check-in where we review selected materials, décor direction, and layout before finalizing 3D designs or sourcing recommendations. It ensures everything feels aligned before moving forward—and gives you confidence that the final result will feel exactly right.
How long does the design process take?
Furniture lead times vary by retailer, manufacturer, and season, but most outdoor furniture pieces take at least 4–8 weeks from the time of order to delivery. Custom or specialty items may take longer. As part of our design process, we help you plan selections strategically, flag longer lead-time items early, and recommend alternatives when needed to keep your project moving smoothly and on schedule.
How is the furniture and decor purchased?
Our brand partnerships allow us to pass on savings to our clients. So once we’ve established your final design, you will pay Seasonal Porches directly for your selected furniture and decor. Then we handle all the ordering, delivery, and set-up.
What does Seasonal Porches handle in the installation/styling phase?
In most cases, large furniture items are assembled by the retailer’s delivery team. Once all furniture and décor have arrived, Seasonal Porches handles all unboxing, assembly of smaller items, and the hanging of lightweight decorative pieces, then styles everything together into a cohesive, finished space. Please note that we do not install electrical lighting or hang heavy items such as porch swings, privacy screens, or any items requiring specialized hardware or structural support.
How long does the design process take?
The design timeline varies based on the scope of your project and the package selected, but most design projects take 2–4 weeks from the initial consultation to final design approval. Larger or more complex spaces may take slightly longer. We guide you through each step, with clear milestones and review points, to keep the process moving efficiently while allowing time for thoughtful decisions.
Need a Little Guidance?
Choosing the right design or plant package doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. If you have questions or would like personalized recommendations, schedule a meeting with one of our designers and we’ll guide you every step of the way.
