Renovation
Bridge the gap between construction and décor with Orchid Interiors’ Renovation service. Whether you’re updating a kitchen in Orillia, remodeling a bathroom in Barrie, or finishing a basement in Collingwood, our structured approach ensures that your newly renovated spaces look cohesive and polished from day one. We coordinate with builders and trades to deliver a turnkey solution—no guesswork, just results.
Our Renovation Process
1. Pre-Renovation Style Guides
Comprehensive Style Boards: We begin by developing detailed style guides that include finish boards for cabinetry, countertops, flooring, backsplash, and hardware. These boards ensure every trade understands design intent before demolition starts.
Color & Material Specifications: We select paint palettes, tile samples, and fixtures that complement both existing architectural features and new finishes. Each material is chosen for aesthetics and durability, taking into account Ontario’s climate variations. o Line-Item Budgeting: You receive a transparent budget breakdown—down to the tile grout and trim profiles—so you know exactly where each dollar is allocated and can make informed decisions before construction begins.
2. Coordination with Contractors & Trades
Kickoff Meetings: We meet with your general contractor, electrician, plumber, and cabinetry installer to review style guides, floor plans, and critical deadlines. Clear communication at this stage reduces delays and misinterpretation.
Milestone Check-Ins: We schedule site visits at key construction phases (rough-in, pre-flooring, pre-paint) to verify that materials and finishes align with the design plan. Any adjustments required—such as tile layout modifications or paint sheen changes—are addressed promptly.
Technical Documentation: We provide contractors with detailed elevations, plumbing fixture specifications, lighting placement diagrams, and trim details to guarantee workmanship matches design intent.
3. Post-Renovation Styling & Furnishing
Furniture & Decorative Layouts: Once construction is complete, we place and arrange furniture to enhance new architectural features—whether it’s a floating vanity in a Barrie bathroom or a custom island in an Orillia kitchen. Every item is chosen to highlight renovated elements.
Window Treatments & Soft Furnishings: We install drapery, blinds, and area rugs that anchor the space and add softness. Textiles are selected for easy maintenance and design cohesion, ensuring your renovated rooms feel both inviting and functional.
Lighting Finalization: After fixtures are installed, we adjust lamp and pendant heights, verify dimmer functionality, and add accent lighting to showcase focal points—like a statement backsplash or custom cabinetry.
4. Budget Optimization & Value Engineering
Alternative Material Recommendations: If costs exceed projections, we propose comparable materials that deliver a similar aesthetic at a lower price—such as quartz-look porcelain countertops instead of natural quartz.
Reuse & Repurpose Strategy: When feasible, we identify existing furnishings or fixtures that can be updated (e.g., repainting cabinetry, refinishing hardwood) to stretch your budget without sacrificing quality.
Real-Time Cost Tracking: Throughout the project, you receive updated cost reports showing actual spend versus budget, allowing for quick reallocations if needed.
5. Turnkey Project Delivery
Single-Point Accountability: You work directly with our lead decorator, who manages all aspects of design and installation. This ensures seamless communication between you, the builder, and any sub-trades involved.
On-Site Installation Supervision: Our decorator oversees every installation—cabinetry, fixtures, flooring, and décor accessories—ensuring each element is placed exactly as planned.
Final Walkthrough & Adjustments: We conduct a thorough walkthrough to identify any minor punch-list items—trim adjustments, paint touch-ups, or décor tweaks—and address them before project close-out.
