What’s your interior design process?
Our interior design process begins with a thorough client intake, conducted through a questionnaire, email, phone/Facetime, or in-person meetings to gather comprehensive information. We cover your wish list, goals, budget, preferred presentation and approval processes, and identify decision-makers. We compile a detailed list of functional requirements, addressing security issues, physical goals, lifestyle considerations, and, for commercial projects, customer profiling.
We then discuss design styles, costs, implications, and gather relevant information, including architectural plans, floor layouts, and safety violations. Physical visits involve walking through spaces, touring other relevant locations, and refining your awareness of what is possible. We may create a preliminary budget refinement and then present design ideas using various formats, such as renderings, sketches, computer drawings, and physical samples.
After your feedback and modifications, we obtain price quotes, bids, and select vendors and contractors. We supervise and manage the delivery, contractors, consultants, and installation for a successful implementation of your design vision.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Versatility is at the heart of our design consultancy. We adeptly navigate through a spectrum of interior design styles, from the timeless charm of classical and traditional to the sleek modernity of contemporary designs. Our expertise extends to the warmth of rustic aesthetics, the clean lines of minimalism, and the harmonious blend of transitional styles.
Beyond the known, we enjoy introducing clients to styles they may not be aware of, expanding their design horizons. Moreover, we take pride in crafting innovative, client-specific styles that are a unique fusion of their tastes and our creative expertise.
In essence, we're not confined to a particular aesthetic; instead, we tailor our approach to bring any design vision to life, whether it's an existing style or a bespoke creation
What do you love most about your job?
What we find most rewarding is the profound satisfaction of making our clients exceptionally happy and content with the final outcome, ensuring their joy endures for years to come.
