frequent questions

Each of our projects are unique, and we would love the opportunity to discuss your specific needs to give you more personalized answers to your questions. In the meantime, peruse our frequent questions below.

Can I work with you outside of South Carolina?

Absolutely! While we are located in Greenville, South Carolina, we work with clients nationwide.

Do you offer interior design consultations?

If you're interested in working with Panageries, we begin the design process with a complimentary telephone consultation. If you would like to meet in person after we speak, we are more than happy to schedule a meeting in our studio.

Do you have a specific design style?

We allow your space and your design preferences to drive the project. We take your location, architecture, lifestyle, and needs into consideration when designing your space.

What is expected of me during the design process?

Every client and every project is different. You are welcome to be as involved as you would like in the overall design process. 

What should I bring to our initial meeting?

We ask our clients to bring inspiration images of anything they like or would like to see in their space to our Discovery Meeting. These can be pulled from Pinterest, magazines, etc. We'll use these inspirations to help craft your custom design.

How do I begin a project with Panageries?

We begin the design process with an introductory telephone conversation to get to know each other and understand your project, your timeframe, and your budget.

What does full-service interior design really mean?

Typical projects involve the following:
  • Developing design concepts and making selections
  • Creating detailed drawings for floor plans, cabinetry, tile, and other details
  • Collaborating with architects, contractors, and artisans
  • Overseeing construction and conducting regular site visits
  • Ordering, tracking, managing delivery, and warehousing of all materials and furnishings
  • Handling final on-site installation and styling to create a complete, move-in ready space
Full-service interior design is a "turn-key" approach. This approach provides you with a stress-free, hands-off experience and is ideal for major renovations, new builds, or furnishing multiple rooms. We manage every aspect of your project, from the initial meeting and concept through the final perfected installation, providing you with expert guidance throughout the project.

Will we see multiple design options?

While we do not create multiple designs for one room or space, we typically provide you with two or three variations of several of the design components allowing you to select your favorites.

What types of residential projects do you take on?

Panageries mainly handles full-service new construction or renovation projects. We also take on partial or full-home decorating projects and smaller remodeling projects, such as kitchens or bathrooms, though all inquiries are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure they align with our expertise and availability. 

How much should we budget for our project?

There are many variables that determine the scope and ultimately the cost of a project. Each project begins with a telephone call to help us learn more about your goals, needs and dreams. This will enable us to determine a reasonable budget before any work begins. We monitor your investment and stay in communication with you throughout the design journey so there are no surprises.

How long will the process take?

Just like the budget, there are many variables that determine the timeline for each project. During our initial telephone call, we will learn more about your project and discuss the scope of work required to help us determine an estimated timeline for completion. We work closely with you, our building partners and vendors throughout the process to keep everything running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Will you work with our architect?

Absolutely! We’ve worked with countless architects over our many years in design and love and prefer working with these talented colleagues for the best results. If we’ve never worked with your architect before, we welcome the opportunity. 

Will you help find a contractor and who manages them?

We certainly will. We have an extensive cache of talented general contractors, sub-contractors and artisans we ready to work on your project. We can make recommendations for any tradesmen your project requires and are happy to manage them as needed.

How does communication work throughout the project?

We are big proponents of communication here at Panageries. We communicate with you on a regular basis and are in constant communication with everyone involved in bringing your design dreams to life. We know what is transpiring on your project at all times. Some clients choose to be out of the loop, preferring we handle everything for them, while others want to be hands-on throughout the entire process. Others land somewhere between these two ends of the spectrum, and we’re happy to adjust to suit your individual needs and desires.

Where is our furniture stored until installation day?

That is a great question. We track your furniture order from the time the order is placed until it arrives at our warehouse. From there, our warehouse manager carefully inspects every inch of your piece for perfection. It is then wrapped and safely stored until installation day.

Throughout the design process, we offer personalized service and the utmost professionalism at every turn. Whether working in residential homes or commercial facilities, we revel in designing distinctive spaces with custom details.
