Professional design consultation and visual rendering services used to plan, evaluate, and communicate interior concepts prior to fabrication or restoration work.

​

What this service is

This service focuses on design consultation and visual rendering to help plan interior modifications, restorations, or custom projects before physical work begins. It is used to establish direction, explore options, and align expectations regarding layout, materials, finishes, and overall aesthetic.

​

Design consultation and rendering are tools for planning and communication, not guarantees of a final outcome. They are intended to support informed decision-making prior to fabrication or restoration.

Each project is evaluated individually to determine whether design consultation or rendering is appropriate based on scope, complexity, and project goals.

​

​

Our process philosophy

We approach design consultation as a practical extension of the fabrication and restoration process. The purpose is not to create speculative concepts, but to develop realistic, buildable ideas grounded in real materials, real processes, and real constraints.

​

Renderings are created to visualize proportions, placement, and overall direction, helping both parties understand how elements may interact before irreversible work begins. Design decisions are guided by feasibility, integration, and long-term functionality rather than purely conceptual aesthetics.

Process focus

• Project goal clarification and scope definition

• Layout, proportion, and integration planning

• Material and finish direction guidance

• Visualization through digital renderings when appropriate

• Iteration based on feasibility and project constraints

​

Design consultation is collaborative and iterative, with the objective of reducing uncertainty and preventing misalignment before fabrication or restoration work begins.

​

​

Renderings and expectations

Renderings are visual tools used to communicate design intent. They are not exact representations of the final product and should not be interpreted as guarantees of color, texture, material behavior, or final appearance.

Lighting, screen calibration, material variation, and real-world application can all influence how a finished component appears compared to a digital rendering. Renderings are used to illustrate concept, proportion, and placement rather than serve as production blueprints.

​

Final results are determined by material characteristics, fabrication methods, and real-world variables encountered during the build process.

​

Relationship to fabrication and restoration

Design consultation and rendering are often used in conjunction with other services such as upholstery, interior coloring, hydrographics, fabrication, or iPad dash installations. In these cases, design work supports the planning phase but does not replace fabrication expertise or eliminate the need for material evaluation and testing.

Not all projects require design consultation or rendering. Some projects are better served by direct fabrication based on defined goals, while others benefit from additional planning and visualization before work begins.

​

​

What this service is not

This service is not free concept development, speculative design work, or open-ended ideation. It is not intended to produce showroom-ready marketing images or guarantee a specific final appearance.

​

We do not provide design consultation or renderings as a substitute for fabrication, nor do renderings override material realities, structural constraints, or process limitations.

​

Design consultation does not obligate OBS Interiors to perform subsequent fabrication or restoration work, nor does fabrication automatically include design consultation unless explicitly agreed upon.

​

​

Design and use reality notice

Design consultation and rendering involve interpretation and visualization based on available information at the time. Changes to scope, materials, or direction after consultation may require additional design work.

All design decisions should be approached with an understanding that real materials, manufacturing tolerances, and installation variables can influence the final outcome.

Next steps

If your project may benefit from design consultation or rendering, please review our estimate request process and contact us with details about your project goals, components involved, and desired level of planning. This allows us to determine whether design services are appropriate and how they fit within the overall project scope.
