Getting Started
Interior Design Service – Clients can tailor the amount of design support they need and add on more services should they want to continue.
As a boutique design studio, I service clients with ambitions for a full home design, through to homeowners who need the support of updating a single room. I don’t take on every request, but the projects I’m involved with have my full devotion as I limit the number of clients I take on at a time (which means I’m not always immediately available). My approach is friendly, open and transparent. I will answer all of your questions and walk you through the design process. I invest time in really getting to know you and your families to best cater the designs I provide.
I want my clients to feel they can be open and honest in their feedback because positive working relationships in interior design are as important as results. I will ensure you are comfortable with the stages and informed about the decisions you are making. I understand that change is exciting, but it can also be hard and I know that this isn’t a business transaction for you, this is your home, and that’s personal. The more you can share with me; the more that you trust me, the more we can make those daring moves that take your home from good to great, and create spaces that are perfectly unique to you.
Discovery Call
The First Step
The first step always feels the biggest.
You’ve thought about it for some time, but you’ve never worked with an interior designer before…
That’s okay, schedule some time and get ready with your questions. It’s just a chat, there is no obligation.
Consultation
The Next Step is a Brief
The home consultation is a moment for you to share your ambitions, design preferences, current challenges and the needs you have for your home.
I want to get to know you and to understand what makes you tick. I will ask you questions, take photographs; measure the rooms, and listen and look to see the unspoken requirements and opportunities.
After my visit, I will send you a summary outlining my understanding of your brief. Take your time to review the recap as you may want to add, agree or adjust the project’s scope.
The consultation is an important initial meeting which sets the tone and the objectives. It’s a good time to ask me questions and to see if I’m someone you like, you trust, and you want to work with. Our relationship is an important part of the design process and comfort, ease and openness is a vital ingredient.
