What is the process for working with an interior designer?

At Cyrus Interiors, we start each project with a meeting in your space so that we can understand your goals, style, and personality. Once we know what you are trying to accomplish, we will put together a design plan that includes a space plan, budget estimate, color scheme and a general timeline. During the project, we will have meetings at our studio, at your home, or at a showroom to discuss product selection and progress. We will manage every aspect of the project to ensure your total satisfaction.

Is hiring an interior designer expensive?

Cyrus Interiors offers high quality discounted design packages that provide our clients cost assurance, as well as the confidence that we will remain focused on their project until it is completed. Working with a designer is an affordable luxury. If you are looking for quality furniture, accessories, and finishes, you will find that a designer’s time and expense is money well spent.

What products do you offer?

Does it matter how large or small my project is?

Is it important for me to have a budget?

How far will Cyrus Interiors travel?

While many of our projects are in the greater Ann Arbor area, we are always willing to meet new clients in other areas of Detroit and beyond. We have worked on projects in Chicago and St. Petersburg, Florida.

How long will a project last?

Cyrus Interiors is committed to completing your project professionally in a reasonable time. When we take on a new project, we work hard to keep our clients focused on completing their room. Each project is different, and the duration will depend somewhat on the client's needs and pace. Standard delivery time for custom furniture can be as high as 12 weeks, so we work hard to ensure that we schedule the project accordingly.
