“From initial discussion to installation of your project, we are with you every step of the way. We enjoy the design and decoration process enormously, and our service is tailored to your vision, giving you the confidence to embrace ideas and designs that will enrich your experience of home.”
01. Consultation & Feasibility
Each project begins with an initial discussion to talk through your hopes and ideas for your property as well as more practical considerations such as budget and time frames. This is a chance for you to ask lots of questions and for us to explain how we work and ensure we are a good fit for your project. Following this meeting, we will send you a fee proposal together with a comprehensive written evaluation of your project mapping the next steps.
02. Concept Development
Once the parameters of the project – the brief, scope of works and budget – have been established and signed off, and a start date for the design work has been agreed, we will meet with you again so that photographs and accurate measurements of your space can be recorded. We will then prepare a concept proposal for your approval, summarising the design direction for the project in words and images. This creative concept is what will guide us as we move into the design stage.
03. Design Development
Interior design is a process of evolution. In addition to detailed drawings showing the suggested arrangement of furniture and fittings for your space, you will receive visuals of furniture, lighting and accessories; specifications for joinery, window treatments, upholstery and soft furnishings; and a samples box containing the suggested solutions for paint colours, fabrics, flooring and other finishes. Together, all these elements will enable you to visualise the proposed scheme and identify any areas that you would like to revisit.
Two rounds of revisions are included in the design fee, ensuring that you always know where you are in the process, and – crucially – that you love the result!
04. Project Management & Procurement
We collaborate closely with architects and contractors to ensure that our designs are implemented as planned and that everything arrives on time. We source and procure all approved items and finishes, liaising with suppliers and makers to ensure costs, availability and lead times. Working this way saves our clients time and hassle, and makes the best use of your budget as our trade discounts invariably cover the cost of us managing this part of the process on your behalf.
05. Installation
We work extremely hard behind the scenes to ensure that every element of your project comes together as seamlessly as possible, meeting agreed deadlines in preparation for you to settle in and enjoy your new space.
