HOW WE WORK

Shotgun Double is a full-service interior design studio specializing in single-family home renovations in the DC metro area. We follow a precise process that allows us to create a complete vision for your project and execute that vision in an organized manner. We are happy to work with your chosen contractor, architect, or other design creative, though we can also recommend professionals to fill these roles, should you need them. We pride ourselves on clear communication and gracefully and efficiently solving inevitable problems.
While we do work on projects of various sizes, from furnishing single rooms to whole-home renovations and furnishings (and especially enjoy kitchen and bath renovations!), we do find that full-service design works best for projects with a total budget of at least $30K to provide optimal value. (For consultation-only services, see the link below!)

Our busy and active clients appreciate our team’s creative vision and our ability to work within a range of styles and trust us to see their project through, from the initial site documentation to the final styling touches for that HGTV reveal!

 

GETTING STARTED

  • We begin every project with a complimentary 15-minute discovery call to learn about your project.

  • This is followed by a two-hour, in-home (or 1-hr virtual) paid consultation. In this meeting, we will discuss everything about your project to help us develop a refined scope of work, allowing us to propose a flat fee for our design services.

  • We will discuss our contract with you and answer any questions you may have about our design process.

  • Contract commences upon signing and receipt of fee deposit.

 

PHASE I | research, design, presentation

FEE ESTIMATE based on project scopE, BILLED HOURLY & INVOICED MONTHLY

This is the heart of what we do - the creation and development of our design vision for your space and all of the drawings and specifications needed to convey that vision to all of the trades who will be needed to bring the design to life.

  • Our team will fully document your existing space with photos and measurements and meet with any applicable trades to ascertain the feasibility of certain design elements.

  • We can assist you in fielding bids from contractors to ensure a great fit and the right value for your project. We will also help you develop a reasonable budget for furnishings and accessories.

  • We then take approximately 8-10 weeks to develop a full design presentation for your space, including plan layouts, rendered drawings, material selections, and furnishing specifications. All items are fully documented, and pricing is presented for Phase II.

 

PHASE II | Procurement and design management

15% of net furnishings total + hourly rate for design management

  • Our in-house procurement manager will manage order placement, tracking, receiving, and local delivery of all furnishings and accessories as part of the design. We will also work with our receiver to resolve any issues with damaged goods so that you don’t have to.

  • Concurrently, our design team will meet periodically with your GC and other trades to answer questions and ensure adherence to the design during construction, as well as work to solve problems that arise (and they always do!)

  • We will also update you weekly on the progress of the work and will handle all of the details of the final furniture installation.

  • Our final step is styling and accessorizing, presentation of your client binder, professional photos, and some bubbly to celebrate a successful design journey with us!
