A WELL DEFINED DESIGN PROCESS
I’m big on detail and a streamlined process because I know this delivers the best results for my clients. It keeps your project on track and you know what to expect at every stage.
YOUR PROJECT IN DESIGN PHASES
The Design Brief
The client brief is by far one of the most important steps in the design process. Designers aren’t mind readers so I’ll dig deep to get to know you, your family and your lifestyle.
Ideally we’ll meet onsite and I’ll be looking to understand how you use the space, how it needs to function and feel. We’ll uncover your style likes and dislikes and we’ll cover your budget and the time frames we’ll be working to.
After establishing a scope of works, I’ll put together a fee proposal for my interior design services.
2. Concept + Schematic Design
With our initial brief front of mind, this concept presentation will include mood boards, interior inspiration, proposed colour schemes, preliminary design sketches and recommendations on selections.
This will highlight the overall design direction and I’ll bring material and finish samples to the table.
This presentation is designed to be interactive and your input and feedback is invaluable during this phase.
3. Design Development
Taking all of your feedback on board, it’s time to fine tune all the preliminary design ideas and finalise selections. At the end of this phase, you will have a very clear visual of your interior space.
4. Design Documentation.
Your approved design is then translated into detailed design documentation. Design sketches are recreated into a design drawing package (floor plans/elevations/design details) and all selections (finishes, fixtures, fittings, window treatments) are placed into a specifications schedule.
hand over.
After a final review and sign off on design drawings and selections, it’s time to hand over to your project manager/ builder and trades team.
5. Decoration + Procurement
For projects with a decoration scope, I’ll present your furniture, art and object in a series of moodboards for each space. Once approved by you, each piece will go into a furniture schedule.
You may choose to purchase these items directly from a retailer or I can manage the procurement of each item direct from my trusted wholesale suppliers.
