WHY FLOURISH IS THE BEST INTERIOR DESIGN FIRM FOR YOUR SW MICHIGAN LAKE HOME
FLOURISH INTERIORS IS NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS SEEKING TO DESIGN THEIR MICHIGAN LAKE HOME
Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan hold a special place in my heart: I was born in South Bend, Indiana and grew up spending summers on Diamond Lake and on the shores of Lake Michigan. Our family drove up to New Buffalo frequently and enjoyed sunsets along the beach, dinners at Stray Dog or Brewsters, and shopping in galleries, boutiques, and antique stores in Harbor Country. As I’ve crafted my interior design business, it made perfect sense to specialize in this area that is both beautiful and feels like home. As I’ve gained my footing in the market, I have come to realize that Flourish Interiors has some unique value props for those considering hiring an interior designer in the area. Here’s our top 5 reasons you should consider Flourish Interiors for your lake home design project.
Proximity: If you are building, renovating, or furnishing a project in SW Michigan, you may be evaluating how to assemble your “dream team” to make sure your new “dream home” comes to life as desired. Since the small towns along Lake Michigan and inland lakes have limited interior design options, you may be tempted to go with a firm from Chicago or Detroit, etc. The main draw back with this approach is that your project will not be an easy drive for your designer. Our company offers the best of both worlds: we have a full service experienced team, but we are located in South Bend, Indiana: just a 30 minute drive from New Buffalo. That means you can have the expertise of an award winning design firm overseeing your new home in proximity to the location. Our team can be on site as needed and depending on the project, usually elects for weekly site visits with photo and progress reports for your satisfaction.
2nd Home Expertise: Our business evolved with an early focus and commitment to designing 2nd homes for luxury clientele. Our earliest projects were centered around the University of Notre Dame; designing and furnishing high end “football homes” for alumnae and parents of students. We became experts at helping design projects where our clients were remote to the property, but we were in nearby proximity. We cultivated systems to make this process smooth and stress free for our clients. From knowing the unique needs of a 2nd home, to knowing how to design for a client remotely, and then to helping be their boots on the ground/representative….we bring a ton of value to home owners who need a designer used to working on non primary homes.
Concierge: As a result of our expertise for vacation homes, we have responded to our clients’ needs by adding white glove concierge as one of our services. In addition to furnishing and styling homes, we can stock them with functional items, acquire groceries, arrange for various services, and offer mid week refreshes to properties for weekend visits. Our goal is to make your luxury property a luxurious experience rather than a hassle. Let us not only furnish and equip it, but then layer those final details such as nourishing food, fresh flowers, sheets turned down, and more so that you arrive and can immediately relax and enjoy!
Network of Vendors: Our experience in the regional area surrounding both Harbor Country and down into the South Bend, Indiana area, means that we have a vast network or vendors at our fingertips. Need your lawn taken care of? We know what to do! Need a general contractor? Absolutely! Want your windows washed? Pool Serviced? A good tile vendor? How about a caterer? Our knowledge of resources is vast and deep: and we will pull out all the stops to make sure your house is designed and maintained with the absolute best of the best the area has to offer!
A Team For All Your Needs: We are more than one designer. We are a team of designers, project managers, installers, stylists, and procurement specialists. We have 13 full time employees, all committed to making sure your project is completed with excellence. If you hire us to design your home, we take care of every detail in house: from ordering and performing quality control on every item, to installing and styling each piece ourselves…we sweat the details and our team is highly trained and specialized to bring your project to life.
