Interior designers have years of expertise in the field, alongside extensive product knowledge. People often think, ‘I can do this myself’ but find it difficult to bring all the elements together. Interior designers will look at the space and incorporate all of your requirements to create a bespoke design that works best for you.
They start by planning the space, before working on details like electrical and lighting plans. By being meticulous at this stage, you avoid any additional charges that may occur down the line with improper planning.
Interior designers also have access to trade discounts to help you recover money on the fees you pay them. The vast supplier network also enables them to bring the spaces together seamlessly – something that would take a long time to build otherwise.
Interior design includes consultations, 2D space/layout planning, colour schemes, furniture/fabric selection, electrical plans, lighting design, bespoke joinery, procurement, budgeting and project managing their designs to ensure they are being implemented correctly. All these elements help to create a harmonious environment, considering both aesthetics and practical functionality.
We offer a range of services, including design consultations, 2D space layouts, 3D visuals, colour consultation, furniture selection, bespoke designs, electrical plans, lighting design, and project management. We cater to both residential and commercial interior design projects.
A design consultation involves spending two to three hours with the client listening to their brief to understand what their needs and vision are for their new space. It is helpful to be in the existing space so we can further understand your vision. From this consultation we will then email a proposed quotation for the scope of works so that you can make your decision.
Before contacting an interior designer, it’s helpful to gather inspiration through magazines or websites, assess your space and budget, and list any specific needs or preferences you have for the design project.
Prepare by having a clear idea of your budget, style preferences, and functional requirements. Measure the space, gather inspirational images, and be ready to discuss your goals and expectations for the project. If you have any floor plans or architectural drawings you can also send these through to the designer prior to the meeting so they have an understanding of the space before you speak.
The concept design phase is where the designer creates initial design ideas and presents them to you. This includes 2D layouts, 3D visuals (if requested) mood boards, colour schemes, and furniture/lighting/material suggestions, helping you to visualize the design. These are particularly helpful to enable you to make decisions so the project runs on time and on budget.
Residential interior design includes designing private spaces such as living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. It involves space planning, colour coordination, furniture selection, and ensuring functionality alongside aesthetic appeal.
As an interior designer, we offer services such as 2D space planning, 3D visuals, furniture selection, electrical plans, lighting design, colour consultancy, and bespoke joinery design solutions for both residential and commercial properties. We also offer project management from the start of the project though to the end to ensure the designs have been implemented correctly.
The design approval process involves reviewing the proposed plans, mood boards, and design elements. Once you are satisfied with the direction, final details are confirmed, and designs are signed for approval before moving forward with implementation.
