Stage 4d. Interior Design (Optional)
Interior design is where your home stops being a construction project and starts becoming a home. This stage takes the architectural drawings and brings the interiors to life with colour, material, texture, and detail.
We begin with an interior design briefing session using visual flashcards, grouped by style, from minimalist and mid-century through to maximalist and 1930s glamour. Many clients find it easier to respond to images than to describe what they want in words. The flashcards draw out your preferences quickly and accurately, giving us a clear foundation to work from before any design decisions are made.
From there we develop mood boards, colour schemes, a full kitchen and bathroom specification, joinery drawings for built-in furniture, and a Purchase List covering where everything can be sourced and at what price.
The Process
Our comprehensive interior design service covers:
- Overview style board to establish the overall look and feel
- Colour schemes tailored to your preferences
- 2D room layout with furniture placement suggestions
- Kitchen and bathroom specification: suggestions for worktops, taps, appliances, tiles, and fittings
- Tackling specific challenges: Addressing specific spatial or functional challenges
- Flooring recommendations to complement the overall design and practical needs
- Joinery drawings for custom built-in furniture (where required)
- Recommendations for key furnishings, lighting, and wall finishes
- Plan of Finishes listing all recommended finishes for accurate contractor pricing
- Purchase List covering sources, options, and prices for all key finishing touches
- Clear vision and direction, leaving you confident and excited about your home transformation
From Clients
“As with your approach to the architecture, it was really thorough and you came with lots of ideas and options for us to consider. We really liked that you could approach the interior design in such a comprehensive way in relation to the architecture of the space, and how the two could be in sync with each other.
You were great at helping us distil what was initially a very vague, loose idea about the feel we wanted into the detail of what it could and should be, and how to layer elements in to achieve it. Being novices in relation to interior design, we really appreciated the way your approach to the brief made us consider specific aspects we wouldn’t have factored in at all.”
Simon G. – Bear Flat, Bath
“Thank you again for such a comprehensive design for our downstairs extension. We were really excited about the designs, colours and patterns and a glimpse of how amazing it will look on completion. You’ve made our (interior) choices simple and let us focus on the fun and exciting parts. “
