Designing a trophy room begins with looking at the client's space and needs. If you are in the process of building a great room or redesigning an existing room, we work with your architect on lighting and lighting issues, types of wood or wall finishes or textures to enhance the room and collection, as well as designing the space to fit your trophies more effectively.
We go over the general ideas you have, and, by using natural elements such as fabricated cliffs, waterfalls, hand painted custom mural work, artificial plants and tree work, we achieve the look you are searching for. We take into consideration the existing taxidermy shoulder mounts and life-size mounts, laying out what is already completed, restoration and cleaning of these trophies if needed, remounting existing work, planning what is to be added, and designing a layout to better fit the room concept.
We try to look ahead to where you expect to be hunting over the next five years so the room can always look well designed as taxidermy is continuously added. We work out a budget, create drawings or sketches to assist you in visualizing the finished room, and calculate what the job entails. We determine if we can commute to the job site, staying nearby by the week or the duration of the job. Building materials are purchased and locally drop-shipped to your location. We plan on going over the job at different stages, schedule meeting times so we make sure we are in agreement before we proceed. When we leave your home or room, you can be sure it will be beautifully designed, professionally laid out and clean and orderly.
