The Design Process

Here's what to expect when you start your interior design project with us,

together every step of the way

1. Enquiry

This is your first step toward transforming your space. During the enquiry phase, we’ll arrange an initial consultation to discuss your needs, style preferences, budget, and timeline. You can share inspiration, floorplans, photos, or simply your ideas and we’ll start mapping out how everything could come together. We'll explain how our process works, what services are right for you, and give you a ballpark estimate so you can move forward with confidence. This is your chance to ask questions and understand what to expect from us.

2. Concept Development

Here’s where your vision starts to come to life. We’ll take everything we discussed and create an initial concept that reflects your style, aspirations, and how you want the space to feel and function. You’ll receive mood boards, colour palettes, layout suggestions, and material inspirations that lay the groundwork for the final design. This stage is all about exploring creative options and making sure we’re heading in a direction you love — before getting into technical detail.

3. Final Design

Once you're happy with the concept, we develop a fully detailed design plan. This includes scaled floorplans, elevations, lighting layouts, finishes, and 3D visuals to help you picture the final result. We’ll also provide a detailed specification document listing all materials, furniture, and fittings, along with accurate costings. The final design ensures every detail is considered and approved before moving forward to procurement and implementation.

4. FF+E

FF&E stands for Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment — and this is where we handle the sourcing and purchasing of every item in your design. Using our network of trusted suppliers and trade accounts, we ensure everything is ordered to spec, within budget, and on time. We also handle logistics: lead times, deliveries, and quality checks. You can relax knowing everything has been taken care of behind the scenes.

5. Install

The final stage is all about execution. We coordinate with trades, manage deliveries, and oversee the installation of furniture, finishes, and styling elements to bring the design to life. Whether it's a full renovation or a decorative refresh, we’re on site to ensure everything runs smoothly and to the highest standard. The result: a finished space that looks, feels, and functions exactly as intended — with minimal stress for you.

6. Styling

The finishing touches to make your new home feel exactly like that. Lived in, with stylish decor finishes and bringing back in your personal items like photos or art.
