INTERIOR DESIGN AND DECORATION SERVICES
THREE EASY STEPS
We’re all about finding your individual interior design style. Something that’s beautiful and functional, reflecting you and your family’s personality.
Good design can be complicated. It takes a lot of your time and requires a love of detail.
Let us unravel the complications of your interior design, decoration, or renovation project, be it large or small. It’s what we do every day and so we know how to pull your ideas together, where to spend and where to save, and how to bring colour, shapes, and styles together so it feels uniquely you.
STEP 1 - CONSULTATION
You can book a FREE 20-minute discovery call, followed by a 90-minute in-home consultation where WE VISIT YOU.
If you don’t need the discovery call, go ahead and book an in-home consultation. There’s a fee because we do our best to answer any design questions you can think to ask. Giving you real and actionable advice on the spot.
You might want advice regarding the decoration of one room, an update of a kitchen or bathroom or a larger renovation. If you have a floor plan or photos that you can share beforehand, that always helps.
WHAT’S INVOLVED IN THE IN-HOME CONSULTATION?
When we meet with you, we’ll start by asking about your interior design style. What do you love about your space and what you’d like to change? While we’re with you, feel free to ask us ANYTHING about your home or space. We love to pass on Interior Design tips and tricks, so don’t hold back.
If you have a Pinterest board please share it with us. You can also browse our photo gallery, or visit our Pinterest page to get the ideas flowing.
If we’ve been helpful and you want to leave it there, that’s totally OK. A consultation may be all you need to get started. Otherwise, we’d love to move on to the next step - creating your personalised Interior Design Concept.
WHAT’S THE COST OF A CONSULTATION?
A 90-minute in-home design consultation will cost $350 inc GST
STEP 2 - DESIGN CONCEPT
WE DESIGN. You may be redecorating, undertaking a total knock-down-walls redesign, moving into a new place or wanting to update your current home. Spacial planning, choosing colours, finishes and furniture for your home can be an overwhelming task. Our concept design provides you with a blueprint that shows you how to create the home of your dreams.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
FLOOR PLAN - This is the most important tool for you to use. Drawn to scale, our furniture layout recommendation specifies the exact furniture sizes and positions for the best flow and circulation in each room.
A MOOD BOARD shows you colour scheme options and hard material combinations for you to choose from, combined with inspiration photos to show you how the space could look,
CONCEPT DRAWINGS - Black and white interior design sketches will give you an idea of how the space will feel and flow before we add your specific design style.
You also have the option to request a fly-through animation, or photo-realistic renders.
LIGHTING PLAN - will consider general, task and accent lighting documenting our recommendations.
PAINT AND WALLPAPER - We can help you decide where and what level of colour to use to bring life to your space.
ART & MIRROR PLACEMENT - to add visual appeal, adding colour, texture, and depth or to create a focal point that draws the eye and adds interest to an otherwise plain space.
FLOOR & WINDOW TREATMENTS - flooring, curtains, blinds or shutters, we can solve your issues with light, privacy, acoustics and comfort.
KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS - we design ideal functionality, layout, storage, and aesthetic appeal, we will also introduce you to our build partners.
TRADES - We can introduce you to our preferred upholsterers, painters, electricians, cabinet makers, drapes and blind manufacturers, and picture hangers.
Your DESIGN DOCUMENT is yours to keep (you may like to take it from here)
Otherwise, we’d love to create your shopping list and begin the design delivery process.
WHAT’S THE COST OF A DESIGN CONCEPT?
Personalised interior design concept - approximately $95 plus GST per square metre (that’s about $1,900 for a 5m x 4m living room ) depending on complexity.
If you have several rooms or joined spaces, you may prefer to ask us for a Package Option.
STEP 3 - SOURCING
WE SOURCE. The concept comes first. The floor plan and design will dictate the pieces' materiality, dimensions, and scale. The hard part is finding each new piece. We have access to trade suppliers all across Australia.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
This is important to know before you start a project. Choosing the right pieces is more complicated than simply picking up the phone and placing an order.
We consider the proportions of each piece and how they will work together to create a harmonious and visually appealing composition in your space. We have the experience and knowledge to assess how each decision and choice dovetails into the next,
That’s why sourcing is the last stage. After the floor plans and furniture layouts are designed and confirmed, we select items from our wholesaler’s showrooms and add that pricing information to your design document.
CUSTOM PRODUCTS
Some of the items we specify may be custom-made.
Upholstery is always done with a fabric we select because we know what will work best for your project (trim options, finish options, details, etc., are elements that can be customised). We have several upholsterers we prefer to use.
Window treatments are always custom. Either we will take measurements, or we have an installer who will do it. We also quote everything else that's needed, like fabric, labour, hardware, etc.
We can design and build custom joinery, offering loads of options for finishes and details.
LEAD TIMES
Lead times vary greatly, and we have no control over them.
We can, however, check stock ahead of time to see if something is available at the time of order placement, but if something is out of stock, it might take longer to receive than expected.
When we give you an estimated time frame, we tell you exactly what they've reported to us.
