The Olamar Difference

Why Homeowners Choose Olamar Interiors

Homes are shaped by the decisions no one notices. The width of a passage, the way morning light reaches the kitchen, the relationship between one room and the next. Our interior design process is built around these quiet details, because they're what make a home feel instinctive to live in.

From Northern Virginia to Washington, DC and Maryland, we partner with homeowners, architects, and builders to guide each decision with care. The result is not a collection of beautiful rooms, it's a home that feels composed, personal, and deeply connected to the people who live there.

A Clear Path Forward

Our Process

01

Prospective Client Intake Form

Fill out and submit this form to get started.

02

Phone Consultation

We will reach out to schedule a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation to discuss the project with you in detail, as well as explain our services.

03

Proposal Signing

If we seem to be a good fit for each other, we will schedule an in-home consultation to meet in person, discuss the project, and finalize the design services proposal.

04

Project Walk-Through

We will conduct a walk-through of the spaces we will be designing together and discuss every aspect of the project, including your overall vision. This is your opportunity to share your ideas, dreams, desires, and wishes for how the spaces will look, feel, and function, as well as your design budget. Our job here is to listen very carefully.

05

Measure

We will measure the spaces and take careful photos and notes of the rooms and any pieces you would like integrated into the new design.

06

Design Time

We will spend four to six weeks designing your dream space.

07

Design Presentation

We will schedule your in-home design presentation to discuss the new design. During this presentation, you can expect floor plans, computer-generated sketches, photos, samples of materials such as fabric, wallpaper, paint, and wood, and a detailed proposal outlining the overall project budget.

08

Revisions

We will provide you with the opportunity to make a revision to the initial design plan to ensure it is perfect for you.

09

Revisions Review and Proposal Approval

We will meet in your home to review the revisions, discuss the design in detail, finalize the proposal, and move the project into the next phase.

10

Construction Phase

If construction is required, we will meet with the general contractor and subcontractors for a pre-construction meeting to discuss design details, set the construction schedule, and clearly define decision-making responsibilities. During construction, we can provide support by visiting the site weekly, addressing issues or design questions, and providing solutions to keep the project moving forward.

11

Implementation Phase

Once the proposal is approved and paid for, we will take charge of ordering, receiving, and inspecting all purchased items, as well as scheduling their delivery and installation.

12

Big Reveal

The best part of the process: we will reveal your beautiful new space and share the excitement of the transformation with you.
