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

An interior decorator focuses on the style needed for a project — providing 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 technical drawing and rendering, color 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, can contribute to significant structural changes, and also provide final selections for color schemes, furniture, window treatments, lighting, flooring, wall coverings and accessories.

Absolutely. Clients can feel overwhelmed by the many style choices, or too busy to explore the options available. Our role is to help you develop that vision. We provide personalised guidance around your environment, wish list, budget and lifestyle — so you never have to navigate it alone.

We provide a complimentary 20-minute Discovery Call. We then 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.
