Our expertise allows for the overall conceptualisation of a project, rather than focusing on smaller pieces of the design concept. We can advise you on an overall scheme that suits your particular lifestyle, budget and personal interior vision, and have a plethora of sourcing possibilities at our fingertips.

An interior decorator focuses on the style needed for a project, and provides the complementary colour schemes, furnishings, lighting and accessories. They do not usually input into structural changes, and often work closely with furniture makers, upholsterers, fabric suppliers and other industry professionals.​ Interior design involves formal training in the areas of technical drawing and rendering, colour theory, computer-aided design (CAD), the history of styles, spatial planning, furniture design, window treatments, project management and more. Interior designers often work closely with architects and contractors. They can contribute to significant structural changes; and also provide the final selections for colour schemes, furniture, window treatments, lighting, flooring, wall coverings and accessories.

Absolutely. Clients can feel overwhelmed by the many style choices, or too busy to look into the options available. Our role is to help you develop such a vision. We provide that information for you, personalised around your environment, wish list, budget and lifestyle.

We do charge for the first consultation that is part of our advisory services. Our first 1-1.5 hour visit includes a questionnaire to capture key information around areas such as your estimated budget, timescale, special requirements, renovation process and/or style preferences. We carry this out in your home, or on site for commercial projects. You receive a comprehensive written Brief and a Concept/Layout Plan/Sketches/Mood Board depending on the type of work needed and size of the project. Contact us for specific pricing. We recommend you come prepared, and have provided some guidelines below.

Residential Projects We recommend you focus on the following areas: Bring photo/magazine examples of your favourite items of furniture, décor, colour schemes and styles; Provide any architectural plans if structural changes are included in the project; Be clear about what you do not like; Specify the scope of work (one room, first level, whole house); Define your budget, and preferred time frame for project completion. Commercial Projects (offices, retail, lobbies, hospitality) Think about what spaces you need and their function; Provide any existing architectural plans and building regulations; Provide access to your branding kit and organisational chart; Define your budget and preferred time frame for project completion.

A mood or concept board captures the emotion and style of a proposed scheme. It is the visual aspect of an interior designer’s creative ideas, captured via images that convey colour, texture, mood, style and emotion. Inspiration for the Mood Board comes from the client, the brief, the property, location and the interior designer’s creative input. It is an abstract representation of the proposed scheme, and drives the sourcing process for the decorative scheme, namely fabrics, colours and furniture.

We understand that one-room design concepts are an important starting point for many clients, and are happy to provide services for smaller projects.

This will depend on the size and length of the project. We charge by the hour and on a daily rate to provide the following services: Drawings, space planning, concept boards and decorative schemes; Ongoing consultations with client and suppliers; Sourcing, delivery and troubleshooting of materials and products; Preparation of estimates and purchasing; Contractor co-ordination.
