What to Expect
Reassurance
You may already have ideas or may be looking for guidance about where to start. We can help you to create a design direction or we will help you to interpret your ideas and guide you, so you feel reassured with the decisions you are making. We are all drawn to different styles and aesthetics, and sometimes we also need a little nudge and encouragement to be bolder, take a design leap, or draw out our true creative vision.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
We often find that clients are unsure how to balance all the decisions they have to make when budget, style, colours, layout etc have to be thought about as a whole to create the desired effect. We find some clients want to build a room around an item they don’t like, or a family heirloom, despite not liking it. Or some have many fabric samples they love and want to include them all but they don’t work together. When there is so much to think about, making decisions can be overwhelming and we can help you navigate the decision making process.
Design Knowledge
We have a huge design library and a wide supplier network at various price points and will share that knowledge with you. We also share our experience of how to implement your design and practicalities including layouts and storage that work with how you want to live.
The Big Picture
We look at the space as a whole. We listen to your ideas and help you balance the ideas and the vision you have for the space and think about different ways to realise your vision. That won’t happen by buying all the things you love and putting them in a room. The amount of possibilities is limitless; our ultimate goal is to make your experience of the environment fantastic.
