DESIGN PROCESS
THE DESIGN PROCESS
We will discuss your needs—is this your vacation home, full-time home or a rental unit?
1.
Determine your budget
3.
Get a feel for your tastes and dislikes
5.
We look to see if we have what you need in stock, ready for immediate delivery. Custom orders can take several weeks (if not months) to arrive
2.
Determine how much use the furniture will get (for example, we may suggest a more durable, stain-proof fabric for a rental) as opposed to private family use
4.
After the largest item is decided on, we then coordinate it with art, rugs, lamps, linens, accessories and window treatments
6.
Once your items are all in, we will set up delivery with our professional delivery team.
FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DETERMINE WHEN SUGGESTING FURNITURE AT DONAWAY FURNITURE?
A. Whether or not it will be used as a rental unit.
Q. WHEN DESIGNING A PLACE FROM SCRATCH, WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU SUGGEST PICKING OUT?
A. The upholstery usually determines the rest of the place, since it tends to be the largest piece of furniture. The bed determines the bedroom decor, etc.
Q. HOW MANY SEATS DO I NEED FOR DINNING?
A. At the very least, you need as many dining seats as there are sleeping spaces, and usually more in case you (or your renters) are having friends over for drinks and/or dinner only. We suggest having many alternative seating options such as outside dining and barstools for the kitchen counters. We have many wonderful and creative alternative dining space options—and, sometimes, the dining table feels too formal.
Q. WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS A RENTAL UNIT VS. PRIVATE USE?
A. In addition to determining the level use and durability, most rentals like to add a queen sleeper or other types of alternative sleep surfaces for added sleeping space. After that, we try to find you the most durable and stain-resistant fabric so it looks fresh for many years.
Q. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF FURNITURE I NEED FOR A BEACH RENTAL?
A. When asked, renters have always said “comfortable mattresses.” We carry Serta—very comfortable, durable, and so many choices
