We are not all wired the same. Many of us struggle to visualise and see the big picture when it comes to creating the right look and feel for your home. When you consider how much money we invest into building our dream home, an experienced interior designer can be that indispensable someone by your side to support you in your design decisions along the journey. That someone who is wired to help you to visualise and who has the knowledge to bring all your ideas to life ensuring a professional and timeless finish. Having a designer as a sounding board will ensure that the process is smooth and most of all enjoyable. We ensure that everything has been considered and selected to be aesthetically pleasing as well as practical and functional for you. We help you to gain design confidence and broaden your ideas by offering suggestions that you would not have thought of alone. We are there to help you ‘find your style’ and push the design boundaries. We do the research for you, making the decision process simple, stress free, and enjoyable!

So many clients we have worked with in the past have this same problem. We find that these client's have some amazing ideas but lack the confidence and knowledge to pull them all together. Quite often we find that we can share other options and ideas that you may not have ever considered or even imagined. Having a second pair of eyes to run over your plans and vision can give you a fresh perspective and the motivation to move forward with confidence.

We cannot stress enough that it is always best to be organised and have design decisions made early. It will ensure a smoother build and your trades will love you for it (and your budget too)! You can't underestimate the value of having a clear direction and being super organised. We suggest beginning early. Starting your interior design journey with us at the Concept Stage of your home design means that we can help ensure that particular considerations are allowed for in the plans. Our expertise in reading house plans means that we will help you identify the best spacial plan and design for each space while making sure your house has the best flow and functionality possible within each space. Careful consideration to the internal spaces in the early stages is such an advantage and sometimes overlooked by Architects or Building Designers. Having that second set of ‘designer eyes’ look over your plans and talk through your ideas can give you a new found perspective and vision. However, bare in mind many client's also engage our services at a later date, often at the Final Plans Stage which is totally normal too. We can still assist in much the same way and have you organised early to ensure smoother communication with your trades along the way.

We always suggested starting the process with our 'Dezign Discovery'. Past clients have found this process very helpful as this session is your opportunity to unload every thought. You can share with us what you are loving and not loving with interiors at the moment, share Pinterest boards, your style, your lifestyle, budget, hopes and dreams for your home. This one-on-one intensive session (in-person or via Zoom) will provide you with unique ideas, clarity and some much needed momentum to move forward with your home design. Focusing on all this information holistically, I will help you determine ‘your’ style & give you on the spot advice. When we finish the session, you will be feeling a lot less overwhelmed, more motivated and enthused about your project. I will provide you with lots of initial ideas and inspiration and we can also talk about the full scope of the project and whether you would like further help after this session.

We sure do! In fact many investment properties find outsourcing the interior design to us is essential in keeping budget on track as well as knowing where it is best to spend and save. We have achieved some great interior looks on a shoe string budget. We know all the tricks and products to use in achieving great results. We can work to any budget (low or high) and can educate you on the best finishes to use. Understanding where you should splurge and where you can save will in turn save you a lot of money and time.

It is our job to get to know you via our well designed tried and tested interior design process. Our online Questionnaire, Dezign Discovery session and communication via the project portal means we get to know you really well so that we can understand you and your preferred style. Our process is thorough and well designed allowing us to draw out what you love and understand what you don't love, even if at first this isn't clear to you.

The simple answer is ‘YES’!! Unfortunately we don't share all of our projects but we can tell you that we have been involved in so many beautiful neutral interior schemes and they are certainly not boring. We must add that there is certainly an art in achieving the perfect balance in these more neutral and predominantly white interior spaces through the careful use of texture and muted colours. On the flip side, we have created some very dramatic, dark and moody interiors of late that we can’t wait to share. So, whilst we find the injection of a little bit of colour can often transform and lift a more neutral space, our main focus when working with our client is to ensure we are designing a home that is just for them.

Of course! This may be just what you need to gain confidence to continue the process alone. Having a 90 minute session will help take away the self doubt when making your design decisions.
