[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're wrapping up an engagement with Havenly and it's gone pretty well. There are different tiers but we select the option that costs about $150 or so per room.

I don't want to share more than what folks are interested in but I'm Happy to answer questions about the experience. [/quote]

Did you go in with the intent of purchasing everything they suggested (and did you)? Did they work to incorporate your specific floor plan and any existing pieces?

I received a gift of a Havenly design package and what I really need is inspiration for a cohesive vision in my bedroom, with suggestions for things like lighting, area rug, some additional pieces and layout with my existing bed, things like that, but not an overhaul of everything out of the box. But I like the idea of looking for some of what I want on my own because I like vintage and antique furniture, one-of-a-kind art, etc. The site doesn't give you a great sense for what the process is like, even from reading the reviews.[/quote]

We did not purchase entire they suggested. We purchased somethings but used their designs for inspiration as far as colors, lines, for etc and, shopped for other pieces. For the pieces we did like, we also did a Google image search and often found the exact same piece at significant discounts from what it would cost to buy through havenly.

The process is to 1) scroll through a bunch of images and pick what you like and don't like b 2) Havenly will send more targeted pieces/room ideas based on your likes. 3) you'll have a virtual call with your designer to walk through the space, describe your wants and needs and discuss budget. 4) she'll send an initial design with options and you pick what you like and don't like  you'll do this a few times until the design is whittled down to a final concept with recommended pieces and alternatives. If you like it the design process is over and you can buy pieces through havenly(they'll get a commission) or on your own.[/quote]
