Whole Home Considerations

Creating Harmony and Flow Throughout a Whole Home

We know that designing a whole home can be a daunting task; you want your spaces to feel considered, have harmony and flow, but for each room to still maintain its own personality specific to its function. And with all the challenges that an existing property can bring, it’s a minefield out there trying to navigate everything from building regulations to structural restrictions, and all while trying to create a complete design scheme. At Pfeiffer Design, we work with you and your architect/contractors to find creative solutions to any design constraints the property may offer. Here’s some of the factors to consider:

HOLISTIC HOME DESIGN

At Pfeiffer Design, we offer a holistic approach to whole home interior design, focused on ensuring a complete scheme is created for the entire property. Taking a detailed brief from you, we consider colours, textures and styles which form the basis of the homes new design, and create a detailed concept which encompasses each room individually, as well as a comprehensive scheme for the home as a whole.

Even for our clients looking to phase building works in order to mitigate disruptions to their daily lives, we would still encourage them to conceptualise the whole home initially to ensure a considered and fully encompassed design is achieved.

BUILDING REGULATIONS & LISTED PROPERTIES

Before starting a whole home interior design project, it’s crucial to consider any constraints that may affect the potential design of the property. If your property is listed or has other restrictions in place, it’s important to work with a design team that has experience navigating these complexities. At Pfeiffer Design, our expert team has had extensive involvement in working with listed properties and understanding the constraints that come with them. We know how to approach these projects creatively and work within any limitations to achieve a stunning design that complements the property’s unique features and history.

SPATIAL PLANNING & FIXED ELEMENTS

Effective space allocation and resource planning are essential components of whole home interior design. At Pfeiffer Design, we prioritise these factors to optimise the existing space and create a functional and beautiful interior. This involves considering every aspect of the space, inclusive of the placement of walls, staircases, doors, and openings, as well as fixed elements such as plumbing, wiring, and structural positions. Our concept and layout process is conducted in tandem, and we always take a thorough brief from our client to ensure we fully understand their needs and preferences for the spatial elements of the home.

LIGHTING DESIGN

The most underrated aspect of any interior design scheme, the perfect lighting concept can completely transform your space, tailoring the homes functionality to precisely what you need, when you need it. At Pfeiffer Design, our lighting specialists thoughtfully design layered schemes that incorporate a variety of lighting types, resulting in a cohesive and harmonious scheme across the whole house. From task to accent to ambient lighting, we place emphasis on designing for functionality, flexibility, and energy efficiency. By carefully considering the lighting design in every space, we create a home that feels welcoming, comfortable, and truly tailored to the needs of its inhabitants. Depending on the functionality of your home and how you see yourself using it, we can also specify lighting and electrical control systems for your home. We have a range of both retrofittable and hard wired options for existing and new-build homes to upgrade and bring your home into the smart era.

BESPOKE LANDSCAPE DESIGN

How the space around your home looks, feels and connects with the space within is a crucial, but too often overlooked, element of your interior design. So at Pfeiffer Design, we always consider your outdoor surroundings and the landscape design as an integral part of your overall design concept. Depending on your needs and site, we can create a space in which to relax, entertain, play games, grow food and flowers, or add a separate studio or home office.
