Comfort and function are the most critical ingredients to a beautiful room.
STEP 1 DEVELOPING YOUR VISION There is no place like home. At Baron Design Inc, those are more than words to us. When it comes to creating a comfortable, well-functioning living environment. We understand that one size does not fit all. That is why, for us, effective communication is as important as precision craftsmanship. We begin the process of your building design, renovation, and repair by asking to you the right questions and we continue to seek your feedback each day of the completion-making sure that you are totally satisfied with the result. As you take the first step to the point of improving your building, ask yourself: Is your building a place where people feel satisfied and content when they enter? Is your building commercial or residential? Is there a type of design or style you would like? What are the aspects you like about your building? What are the weaknesses? Do you want to quiet the noise from the world to improve your building flow from area to area? What textures or colors do you like? How do people walk unto your building on a typical day? Are there kids, pets or parents? Is your building lobby or area spacious or is it small? Does your building have enough package storage? Does your doorman s desk work? Asking the right questions helps the dream to start to become a reality. Whether you crave more seating, better organization, improved flow, additional storage, or simply...more beauty, our team of designers, tradesmen, and artisans will develop a practical plan to make them real. 9

As you determine the scope of your project and develop your budget, ask yourself: Are you hoping to increase the value of your building s public spaces and make your building better looking? How old is your building? Do you require any special materials or artisan? How much is your budget? Does your space make the most of what you already have: Smarter design... increased storage functionality? Go beyond the label - traditional, contemporary, modernto get to the necessary and luxurious. Show us pictures from magazines and interior design books that inspire you.
