Linda Vantine transforms homes throughout Massachusetts with a blend of fresh ideas and respect for her client's existing pieces. Known for her thoughtful approach, Linda listens deeply to her clients, making the design process collaborative and enjoyable. She’s not one to push products; instead, she guides clients on making selections that are not only timeless, but reflect their tastes and lifestyles.
Discovery
The process begins with a collaborative consultation to fully understand each client’s vision, lifestyle, and investment. She takes the time to explore their tastes and needs, reviewing inspirational elements and personal items they wish to incorporate. From this foundation, Linda crafts initial concepts, including sketches, space plans, and floor layouts, setting a clear direction that reflects her clients' personalities.
Design
Linda thoughtfully selects layouts, materials, finishes, and furnishings that enhance the aesthetic while honoring sentimental pieces. Linda encourages client feedback, refining the design to align perfectly with their vision. Working closely with architects and other professionals, she coordinates adjustments to ensure her design integrates seamlessly with technical aspects.
Coordination
Linda uses the architect’s drawings to create customized floor plans that emphasize space flow and functionality. She leverages her network of trusted vendors to help clients select high-quality furnishings, materials, and finishes, gathering pricing information and estimates as needed. Her role is to support her clients' decisions and make the process as smooth as possible.
Installation
Overseeing installations with a hands-on approach, Linda coordinates site visits and collaborates closely with contractors to maintain alignment with the design vision. Her involvement continues through final styling and installation, where she places the furniture, rugs, window treatments, wallcoverings, decor, art, and accessories with careful attention to detail.
