Saved Me So Much Time

“My designer (Dilhani) gave me so many great ideas and suggestions to not only improve our space but to also ensure it reflects our tastes and budget. Dilhani is so warm and encouraging – you really can’t ask a “dumb” question which made the session very comfortable. “

~ Kathy H.

Does designing your room feel like solving a puzzle without the picture on the box? That’s where Design Ready comes in. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelm, indecision, or fear of wasting time and money, this service is all about setting you up for success with a rock-solid foundation. 

Design Ready is for you if:

  • You’re overwhelmed by options and need a clear starting point.

  • You want professional guidance but aren’t ready to commit to a full-service package yet.

With Design Ready, you’ll gain the clarity and confidence to bring your vision to life—without the hassle.

FAQs

1. How is Design Ready different from other services offered by Daakor?

Compared to Design Rx:
Design Rx is a quick, diagnostic service that identifies what’s not working in your space and provides actionable recommendations. While it’s a great starting point for addressing specific issues, Design Ready takes things further by giving you a curated color palette, an optimized furniture layout, and a budget blueprint. It’s about laying the groundwork for a cohesive and functional design plan.

Compared to Mini Makeover Magic:
Design Ready provides the foundation for your room’s design, including a color palette, furniture layout, and budget plan, but stops short of sourcing items or creating a moodboard. Mini Makeover Magic builds on this foundation by offering a curated shopping list and moodboard to save you the time and effort of finding the perfect pieces on your own.

Compared to Makeover Magic:
Design Ready is all about setting the stage for your design journey. Makeover Magic, on the other hand, delivers the full package—a style board, 3D visualizations, shopping list, and concierge support, along with multiple revisions to ensure every detail is perfect. If you’re looking for a comprehensive, high-touch design experience, Makeover Magic is the ultimate choice.

2. Can I make changes to the plan if I don’t like certain aspects? What if I’m not happy with the color palette or furniture layout suggestions?

Absolutely! The goal of the Design Ready service is to create a foundation that truly works for you and reflects your style. 

We take the time to understand your vision and preferences right from the start to ensure your Design Foundation plan reflects your style and needs. During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, preferences, and any inspiration you have, which helps us create a plan that’s tailored specifically to you.

The follow-up call is your opportunity to fine-tune the plan and make minor adjustments to ensure it works perfectly for your space. Whether it’s tweaking a color in the palette or adjusting the layout slightly, we’ll address your feedback to make sure you feel confident moving forward.

Please note that major changes or additional revisions fall outside the scope of this service. If you find you need more extensive updates or support, you’re always welcome to upgrade to a higher-tier package, and your investment in Design Ready will be credited toward the next step.



3. How detailed is the budget blueprint?

The budget blueprint is your shopping game plan! It includes a list of all the key pieces you’ll need to make your space both functional and stylish—think furniture, decor, and other must-haves. But we don’t stop there! We’ll also give you a price range for each item, tailored to the preferences and priorities you’ve shared with us.

But that’s not all! We’ll also share some of our best practices for setting a realistic and effective budget for decorating your home. It’s like having a cheat sheet for your design shopping—no more guessing, overspending, or wondering if you’re on the right track. You’ll know exactly what to focus on and where your budget will make the biggest impact.

4. Is this service suitable for open-concept spaces or shared areas like kitchens and living rooms?

Yes, this service works for open-concept spaces and shared areas, but here’s how it’s structured: we charge per room or per functional area within a multi-functional space.

For example, if your open-concept area includes a living room and a dining area, each would be considered a separate functional area. This way, we can give each part of your space the attention it deserves while ensuring the design feels cohesive and functional.

Not sure how your space would fit? No problem! Just book a call with us or send us a message—we’d be happy to chat and provide some clarity. Let’s make sure it all makes sense for your home!





5. How customizable is the plan?

Each plan is completely customized to your unique needs and preferences. We base everything on the information you share during the initial consultation—your style, the specifics of your room, and even the pieces you already own and want to keep.

It’s all about creating a design that works perfectly for you. From the color palette to the furniture layout and budget recommendations, every detail is tailored to reflect your vision and fit seamlessly into your space. No cookie-cutter plans here—just a design foundation made specifically for your home!

6. How does the credit for upgrading to a higher-tier package work?

It’s simple! If you decide to upgrade to a higher-tier design package after completing the Design Ready service, the full amount you paid for Design Ready will be credited toward the cost of your next service.

For example, if you choose to move up to a more comprehensive package like Mini Makeover Magic or Makeover Magic, your $499 CAD investment in Design Ready will be deducted from the total price.

There’s no pressure to upgrade, but it’s a great way to start small and build your dream space step by step while maximizing the value of your initial investment. We’ll be here to guide you whenever you’re ready!







7. Are there any discounts for multiple rooms?

Yes, we do offer discounts for multiple rooms! If you’re looking to design three or more spaces, we’d love to chat and create a custom package for you. Just reach out to us, and we’ll make sure you get the best value while bringing your vision to life across your home. Let’s make it happen!





8. Will I get additional support if I have questions while implementing the plan?

The follow-up call included in the service is your opportunity to review the plan, ask any questions, and make sure you’re confident about moving forward. While ongoing support isn’t included in the Design Ready package, you’re always welcome to reach out if something comes up later—we’ll be happy to discuss how we can help!

And if you decide you’d like more hands-on guidance, you can always upgrade to a higher-tier package, with the cost of Design Ready credited toward your next service. We’re here to make your design journey as smooth and stress-free as possible!
