The Interior Design Process

The Interior Design Process is how Upstage Interior Design works with our clients from the outset of the project all the way through to its completion. Below you will see each phase of the interior design process, and since we have broken it down into steps you can understand how an entire project works. This applies to our in-person interior design service. If you are interested in E-Design, please click here to visit our E-Design page.
