What’s your interior design process?
The design process begins with a meeting, from which we will establish a detailed client brief. We will go through your requirements in detail and discuss any thoughts and ideas you may have, offering suggestions and guidance along the way. We will then send you a written fee proposal outlining timelines and budgets for agreement.
Once you are satisfied with the proposal, a contract will be drawn up, rooms are surveyed and the space planning and design process begins.
Design schemes, furniture, fabrics and lighting are developed on a room-by-room basis and then presented using a combination of samples, sketches and images for approval. If the budget allows, hand-drawn 3D perspectives may be included to help visualise the space.
Technical drawings and schedules will then be produced and issued as part of a Tender package and sent to relevant contractors. We will manage and advise our clients' through this process in order to select the most suitable firm for the project.
We will oversee the design of the build and project manage all installation and deliveries of furnishings to your property We will continue to support you once the project is complete.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
We work along side our clients, advising but not forcing a particular style.
What do you love most about your job?
Doing what I absolutely love most. For as long as I can remember I have walk around analysing and spaces around me. As a child I would walk around our family home with a mirror, just to see what things would look like if they were reversed!
Being an Interior Designer has allowed me to make a career from it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been lucky enough to work with many inspirational designers over the years. Eventually we all want to call our work our own.
