THE STYLED INTERIOR DESIGN EXPERIENCE
After doing this for some years now I understand that every house is different, every client is different, every brief is different, and every design is different, this is why I don't take a one size fits all approach.
So whilst I hope you find the below process outline useful, please do see it as a guide only. One thing that remains consistent is every project always begins with an Initial Design Session. This session is a stand alone fixed fee appointment which does not assume any further work.
Initial Design Session - Understanding Your Project
- we have an initial phone call to gather some basic detail about you & your project
- a two hour meeting is arranged with you at your home to discuss your brief, budget, & timescales
- following the design session i'll share an in depth scope of works & fee proposal for us to complete your project. Some clients are happy to take my initial ideas from the consultation & continue with the work themselves, others wish to proceed into an agreement of works & move on into stage 1
Initial Design Session Investment £360 inc VAT
Stage 1 - Style Direction & Initial Design Concept
- we create a dedicated Pinterest board to collate any inspiration images to inform the design direction
- we present a design concept moodboard & floor plan for the suggested layout
- another meeting is arranged to discuss the design concepts, any required amendments are made, & we progress onto stage 2
Stage 2 - Detailed Design Concept & Project Management
- we develop the chosen design concept to include interior finishes such as flooring, wall finishes, colour schemes, window treatments, & any bespoke joinery
- we produce any required technical drawings such as labeled floor plans, elevations, electrical plans, or bespoke joinery
- we begin coordinating any tradespeople required such as upholstery, curtains, electricians, tiling, decorator, flooring, or joiner
Stage 3 - Sourcing & Procurement
- once the design development is signed off an itemised list of purchases & a breakdown of trades fees is produced
- procurement begins
Stage 4 - Implementation
- we provide project support where necessary, liaising with contractors & specialist trades to save time & money on correcting unnecessary work
- site visits may be necessary throughout the process in order to react quickly to & solve any unexpected issues
- snagging and project sign off
Stage 5 - Styling & Photography
- final installation, project sign off
- styling & photography
Throughout the entire process, no matter how large or small your project may be, you will receive a weekly project status update from me so you know exactly where we are during the time I am working with you.
So how much does it cost?
No two projects are the same, the details, scope of work, & overall design requirements are always different.
I’m aware that costs can be the biggest barrier to professional interior design, which is why every project starts with an initial two-hour design session at a fixed fee of £360.
Once we have completed the design session I'm able to share an in-depth scope of works with a transparent, flexible & realistic fee proposal.
What happens in the initial design session?
Each session is individual & dependant on your project needs. I work in a client lead way, meaning I’m here to bring your vision to life, not mine. I use this time to understand exactly what you want to achieve, & how I can help you get there.
Some clients just need a colour scheme, layout, & extra storage, others may need a complete re-design. Sometimes the time is used by sharing & discussing your architect plans for ways to improve or enhance.
What will I cover:
- Getting to know you, the other people that live in your home, your lifestyle & how you use your spaces
- Seeing the rest of your home to make sure the room or rooms we are working on will be in keeping with the rest of the home
- Understanding your project goals, the brief, how & when you use the space, any existing furniture you plan to keep, or what you need to add
- What design themes you like & how you want the space to feel
- Budget, constraints, & timescales
- A discussion about my initial design ideas
Sometimes you may not have the budget or the need to hire an interior designer for your whole project but instead you want some one to one expert advice to focus on getting the fundamentals right to avoid costly mistakes, which is why I created virtual design consultations...
VIRTUAL DESIGN CONSULTATIONS
- 60 min virtual call with me
- a comprehensive detailed design plan that will include any recommendations or next steps discussed
Virtual Design Consultation Investment £300 inc VAT
Here's some examples of how I’ve helped other clients using a virtual design consultation
- Clarify your exact goals and ensure your project needs are met whether that’s improving functionality, increasing appeal to prepare for sale, or enhancing the look and feel of a space
- Review your architect layout plans to suggest improvements and considerations
- Review your ideas and give guidance on how you could improve to include more light, better zoning, or better storage solutions
- Help to refine the combination of hard material selections for example in a new kitchen or bathroom
- Craft the perfect colour & styling combinations
- Individual room layouts
