Let’s be clear about what you can use an Full-Service Consultation for:
Interior designers often work in grey areas that they know little to nothing about — and this isn’t unusual at all.
A Full-Service Consultation is suited to consult with you on about a large commercial tenant improvement, residential renovation, high-end kitchens or baths, or completing the interior design for a new home design.
While consulting with us on your project, we will be assessing the existing site conditions and users.
We need to fully understand the users activities in the space plus the circulation and connection between spaces within the interior. We will also assess the non-loadbearing and non-sizemic alterations or construction, building systems, and spatial quality of the interior spaces.
During our Full-Service Consultation, you will leverage Corey’s experience as an interior design educator for 15 years working in multiple different sectors of the built environment and also leverage a Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designer and a NCIDQ Certified Interior Designer as the expert in your corner.
Getting real about customised design solutions:
If you don’t start developing a plan to hire a professional interior designer early on in the process, what other areas and consultants will it affect? Engineering? Building systems integration? Interior detailing and connections between different types of room or cabinet crown moulding? Did you become lost in the noise of home and garden reality shows? Online forums? Struggling to assess whether you could handle doing it yourself without mistakes or delays?
Receiving professional and qualified interior design fee proposal and scope of work for your forever home or corporate workspace is an important deciding factor in the overall projects success. Independent consultants are often happy to work together when everyone has a common and shared goal.
Make a beneficial impact on your projects success with an Full-Service Consultation.

Award-Winning Interior Designer
Certified Master Kitchen & Bath Designer
NCIDQ Certified Interior Designer
Corey found their passion for interior design early in life, but didn’t quite know the difference between “architecture” and “interior design”. It was through a side-step in classical fine-arts studies and into production design that they uncovered real interior design. With much dedication, local chapter-level leadership, faculty positions in post-secondary education and multiple international interior design awards has Corey lead Articulated Design Studio since 2011, beginning as Corey Klassen Interior Design.
Corey is inspired by their clients connections to memorable life moments, passionate careers, and their own roots from a honest and authentic farming community, generations of builders, and creative makers. Blending these elements together in new and exciting ways brings Corey’s true passion to life through interior design.
