Our Design Process

This first stage is crucial in setting the direction and budget for the entire project, which is why we highly recommend meeting in person, if possible. During the meeting, we will take a brief, which can be as loose or as detailed as you wish and use this to prepare an itemised overall cost and individual fees for each stage of the project. We also invite you to visit our studio during this consultation to experience our design principles and finish standards first-hand.

As the title suggests, we’ll take precise measurements of your home, room, or workplace and create a full set of drawings. While we’re not architects, these will be produced in CAD to meet architectural standards. These drawings will serve as the foundation for our design and ensure its technical feasibility. You’ll also receive a copy to keep. If you already have architectural drawings, we can skip this step and work directly from them instead.

This is where the fun and excitement really begin, as we develop the overall vision for your new interior. We will put together mood boards for each room, featuring images, textures, colours, and other elements to showcase our ideas. Alongside this, we’ll explore layout options to illustrate how each space will function and feel. The aim at this stage is to set the scene, give you options to consider, and provide the information and advice you need to make confident, informed decisions with an overall goal in mind.

Once you’ve decided on your concept, we’ll begin translating it into a formal design proposal. After the proposal is agreed, this is the stage where you’ll select specific products, materials, colours, finishes, and brands. It’s also an opportunity to refine or adjust any aspects of the original concept, should you wish to make changes. After finalising these details, we’ll create precise technical drawings and comprehensive packages for the relevant trades – essentially providing a professional instruction manual to ensure your vision is brought to life exactly as you envision.

Following on from the detailed design stage, once work is ready to start on site, we can coordinate all the necessary trades, contractors, and craftsmen to bring our design plan to life. We’ll also provide a detailed cost breakdown. However, if you prefer to hire your own contractors, we’re happy to provide specifications and schedules for them to use when preparing their quotes.

As we move into the construction phase, we remain fully committed to your project, ensuring that everything is executed to the highest standard. While we’re not site managers and don’t run a site office, we’ll make regular visits to ensure everything is on track. We’re always available to answer any questions, review drawings and specifications, resolve any issues that arise, and oversee the process to make sure the final result meets your expectations. Our goal is to handle the details so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

During the construction process, we begin the specification of the furniture, fixtures and equipment. This part of the process is crucial to bringing your interior design to life. We carefully select and specify each piece needed for your project, ensuring they complement the overall design while meeting your functional and aesthetic requirements. From selecting high-quality furnishings to choosing the right fixtures and equipment, we ensure everything is tailored to your needs, budget, and style.

The procurement and installation phase is where your design comes to fruition. We source all specialist items, products, and finishes to ensure they meet your exact specifications and quality standards. Working with trusted suppliers and craftsmen, we oversee the delivery, fitting, and installation of each piece, ensuring everything is installed correctly and seamlessly integrated into your space. Our team manages the process from start to finish, resolving any issues that arise, so you can relax and enjoy the transformation of your interior.

We believe every project is unique, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way, from initial concept to final installation. If you’re ready to bring your vision to life, or if you have any questions about our process, we’d love to hear from you.
