From Floor Plans to Finishing Touches: How Our Design Studio Process Works

Thinking about updating your home? You probably have big ideas and maybe a few questions about where to start. At Total Design Source, guiding you from the first sketch to the last finishing touch is what we do best. Here’s what you can expect when you partner with our team.

It All Starts with Your Story

Every great space begins with a conversation. During your first visit to our Tampa studio, we want to hear about your routine, style, and what you wish your home could do for you. Maybe it’s a kitchen that finally fits everyone for Sunday breakfast or a bathroom that feels like a retreat after a long day. Bring your inspiration, your questions, and even your favorite paint colors. We love it all.

Together, we’ll outline your goals, must-haves, and budget. This “project brief” becomes our roadmap, making sure every decision connects back to what matters most to you.

Dreaming Up the Perfect Design

Once we know what you’re hoping for, our design team gets to work. This is where your ideas take shape. You’ll see mood boards with color palettes, tile samples, and textures you can touch and feel. We’ll walk you through layout options, whether that’s opening up a living space or finding smart storage solutions for a busy family.

Prefer easy-to-clean flooring because you have pets? Want to maximize sunlight for a brighter Florida home? We tailor each design detail to your real life. You’ll never be left guessing. Your feedback steers every step.

Choosing Every Detail, Together

Selections are where the fun begins. Step into our studio and explore cabinets, countertops, flooring, and more, all curated for Tampa style and Florida weather. We’ll explain why some materials handle humidity better or why certain window coverings keep the afternoon sun at bay.

Looking for something unique? Custom options are always available. We help you balance your wish list with practical advice, making sure your new space looks great and stands up to daily life.

Managing Every Step, Big and Small

Once the big decisions are made, we take care of the details. From placing orders to scheduling deliveries, our project management keeps everything on track. You’ll get regular updates so you always know what’s next.

We coordinate with trusted installers and contractors, checking quality at every stage. Our team is always nearby, ready to answer questions or handle any unexpected twists. You can relax and watch your new space take shape.

Installation and the Finishing Touches

As everything comes together, we’re there to make sure each detail meets our high standards and yours. Cabinets are aligned, flooring is smooth, and closets fit just right. We walk through the space with you, create a punch list for any final tweaks, and don’t stop until it’s perfect.

You’ll get care instructions and tips for keeping your new finishes looking their best in Tampa’s climate.

Your Home, Ready to Enjoy

When every detail is right, it’s time for the big reveal. Step into your finished space and see your ideas brought to life. Our job isn’t finished until you feel completely at home.
