If you purchased a Chafin home that is a Pre-sale or just started the build process, then you will have a Design Appointment.
Here you will choose the unique list for your home’s items like paint, flooring, backsplash, etc. You will choose these from interior and exterior packages that have been hand picked by our interior design team.
Each community and home is unique, so in an effort to keep it more concise below you will find a more general timeline. If your home has already had certain selections already purchased that cannot be changed, even if they are not installed in your home yet, please ask your onsite agent for your list.
We have a full time in house design team headed up by Maggie Gilstrap. Maggie is a University of Georgia graduate with a 4 year degree in Interior Decorating. She and her staff do all of our model homes as well as create the decorator packages. With over 700 homes to design and build each year, she and her team are constantly move. They are always offering the latest and greatest in design options trends and colors.
What Happens At a Design Appointment?
You will choose your exterior and interior package from The Decorator Collections. Each model home has a room converted into a Decorator Room. These packages are custom designed by our decorating team to make it an easy, stress-free process when making choices for your home. Each Chafin community has floor plans and unique choices available that will vary within every community.
TIP: We usually recommend you walk inside under construction homes in your community to get a feel for what you like and dislike.
