• If the designer does not provide recommendations for a room (or other aspects indicated by the Client) it is because the designer felt that the Client’s spending was better allocated in other areas based on the Client’s preferences and needs. Should the Client then decide that they would like to include additional designs, such modifications will be subject to the consent and pricing agreed to by the Designer.

• Clients may also speak with a designer to go over their desired design option prior to the commencement of any work, however Clients are responsible for contacting DI in a timely fashion to ensure that they have not yet started work on their project.
