We have developed a way of working with clients that allows us to work together to create a unique design for them. Each of our designs is tailored specifically to a client and their space. No two designs are the same.

1. Choosing us as your Interior Designer


The first and most important stage of any project is to choose the right Interior Designer for you.
Do they understand your needs? Can they create the kind of design you are looking for? And just as important can you work with them?

We believe that the best way to choose a designer is to meet with them at the property. There you can show us around. Tell us about your objectives. And decide if we are right for your project.

In turn we can get a better understanding of you and your project. We can also show you some of our previous work.

2. We listen to your needs

If you decide to engage us then this is the first step on the way to creating a great design specifically for you.

At this stage we will sit down and take your detailed requirements. Don't worry if you not sure what exactly it is you want. We are experts at finding the answers to that question.

All subsequent design work will be based on this information (and anything else you tell us as we go along).

We will also measure the space in detail to allow floor plans and other drawings to be made. These drawing are essential to any design and the starting point for instructions to all contractors. 

3. We develop some initial design Ideas

All designs start with some outline ideas based on the brief. These may take the form of mood boards, sketches, product images and materials.

These will illustrate different ideas for the ‘look & feel’ that can be achieved. We will show you lots of ideas – many of which you may never have considered before.

At this stage you will have the opportunity to discuss options, their pros & cons and to drive the detailed design in the direction that you want.  Once we have agreed an outline design with you we will now take it the next level of detail.

4. Complete the details of your design

With the outline design agreed we will now develop it into a complete design for you.

This will include mood boards/illustrations, material samples (e.g. flooring, paint colours, fabrics, etc), all the drawings required and costings where possible. Part of this process can include getting estimates/quotes from certain trades such as joiners/electricians.

We will meet with you regularly so you can review progress, assess options and maintain detailed involvement. We will schedule everything around you and your lifestyle. Meetings at weekends and evenings are typical for us.  At the end of the design, you will have the following :-
  • Detailed list of all furniture, lighting, accessories
  • Floor plans and any other technical drawings required
  • Mood boards illustrating all rooms
  • Samples of all materials (e.g. flooring, wall paper, tiles) or photographs of all products agreed
  • Budget containing costing for the project

At the end of this process we will produce everything that is required to complete the design.

5. Can we help you further?

At this stage you may wish to ask us to take the design and manage the whole project for you. This is the stress free way of getting those works done. Visit our project management section for more details.
