The first step is to take time to understand and define what you want to achieve and why, before jumping straight into costs, construction, or firm decisions.
This means looking at how you currently live, what isn’t working, and how you’d like the space to feel and function in the future. A design-led consultation helps explore your goals and aspirations, alongside what’s realistic within your home and budget.
This early defining stage is also where we identify what needs to happen to move the project forward properly. That might include surveys, planning considerations, party wall matters, or bringing in specialist or architectural support. Understanding these requirements early avoids surprises later on.
By taking this step first, priorities are clarified, options are explored, and a clear framework is created for decisions that follow. This helps shape realistic costs, makes later choices feel more confident, and avoids rushed or limiting decisions further down the line.
For renovation projects, bringing a designer in early gives you the best level of support. This allows time to shape the overall vision, explore layout and flow, and understand how design decisions may affect structure, budget, and sequencing.
Starting at the planning stage means decisions can be thoughtful and considered, rather than rushed or driven by the build programme. Clients often tell us this early involvement gives them more confidence and a calmer experience as the project progresses.
For furnishing or FF&E projects, there is usually more flexibility. Getting in touch early still helps manage lead times and gives you a wider choice of furniture and finishes, allowing the room to come together in a more considered way.
Yes, definitely. We love collaborating with architects, builders and other specialists, and drawing on everyone’s strengths to get the best outcome for you.
Our role is to hold the interior vision and make sure the decisions being made support how you want the space to look and feel.
If you need help finding the right team, we can talk through options and recommend people we trust. And if managing all the different conversations feels overwhelming, we can help coordinate these so the process feels clearer and more joined up.
Every project is different, so we tailor our support to the level you need, from consultations through to full interior design and coordination. Fees are always linked to scope, which means we shape the service around your goals.
For furnishing and FF&E projects, we work with you to set a realistic investment and help you spend it wisely. Our aim is to find pieces that feel beautiful, work practically for your space and make sense for your lifestyle so they stand the test of time.
If you are unsure where your project sits, we can talk it through on an introductory call.
We love creating homes that feel welcoming, timeless and considered, with a balance of comfort, character and practicality.
Above all, our style is shaped around you. We take time to understand how you live, what you love and how you want your home to feel, so the design grows naturally from your personality rather than from current trends.
Some clients lean modern, others prefer something more classic. Our role is to interpret your taste and create a space that feels cohesive and unmistakably yours.
It all begins with a short introduction call. It’s a relaxed chance for us to get to know each other, talk through your project and see whether we’re the right fit.
If we decide to move forward, the next step is a paid consultation, ideally at your home. This is where we explore your brief in more detail, look at the space together and outline which service will support you best.
Every project then comes with a clear fee proposal, contract and welcome guide so you know exactly what to expect at each stage. Clear communication is really important to us, and we’ll guide you through the process so you feel informed, supported and confident throughout.
