How we work with you Guide

  • We plan and design functional, comfortable, and visually appealing interior spaces for private residences and offices. Our approach balances aesthetics with practicality, ensuring that every space not only looks beautiful but also works seamlessly for the people who use it. We begin by understanding how a space will function on a daily basis, considering movement, comfort, storage needs, and overall usability.

    Our services include developing thoughtful space layouts, selecting materials and finishes, coordinating color palettes, lighting schemes, furniture, textiles, and accessories. Every design decision is guided by the client’s lifestyle, preferences, and long-term needs. We focus on creating interiors that feel cohesive, timeless, and personal rather than trend-driven.

    Beyond aesthetics, we carefully consider lighting quality, acoustics, durability of materials, and maintenance requirements. Whether designing a private home, a workplace, or a shared public setting, our goal is to enhance everyday living and productivity through intentional design choices.

    We also collaborate with architects, contractors, and suppliers to ensure that the design vision is executed accurately and efficiently. From initial concept through final styling, we manage details with care, ensuring the finished space reflects both professional expertise and the client’s unique identity. Ultimately, our aim is to create interiors that feel welcoming, functional, and enduring—spaces that support how people live, work, and connect.

  • We offer flexible design services and can join a project at any stage, whether before construction begins, during an active renovation, or when enhancing an existing interior. This adaptability allows us to support a wide range of client needs and project types, from full-scale new builds to targeted refreshes.

    When engaged early in the process, we help shape the overall vision, collaborate on spatial planning, and influence architectural decisions that impact flow, lighting, and functionality. During renovations, we work alongside contractors and consultants to refine layouts, select finishes, and ensure design consistency as the project evolves. If a space is already built, we can focus on reimagining interiors through updated furnishings, finishes, lighting, and styling to create a refreshed, cohesive look.

    Regardless of the stage, we take time to assess what already exists, identify opportunities for improvement, and align our design solutions with the client’s goals. Our approach ensures continuity and clarity, even when projects are already underway.

    By tailoring our involvement to the project phase, we help minimize disruption, streamline decision-making, and avoid costly changes. Whether providing full-service design from concept to completion or offering targeted guidance at a specific moment, we bring thoughtful, strategic input to ensure the final outcome feels intentional, balanced, and well-resolved.

  • Our pricing is tailored to reflect the scope, scale, and complexity of each individual project. We understand that no two projects are the same, which is why we offer flexible fee structures designed to suit a variety of needs, budgets, and levels of involvement.

    Depending on the project, fees may be structured on an hourly basis, as a fixed flat fee, or as a percentage of the overall project cost. Hourly rates are often suited to smaller projects, consultations, or ongoing advisory roles. Flat fees work well for clearly defined scopes, providing cost certainty from the outset. Percentage-based fees are typically applied to larger or more complex projects, aligning our services with the overall scale of the work.

    Before commencing, we clearly outline the proposed fee structure, inclusions, and deliverables, ensuring full transparency. This allows clients to understand exactly what services are being provided and how fees are calculated. We believe open communication around costs is essential to building trust and ensuring a positive working relationship.

    Our goal is to provide value-driven design services that are fair, flexible, and aligned with client expectations. By tailoring our pricing approach, we ensure that clients receive professional guidance and thoughtful design solutions that respect both the creative vision and the practical realities of the project.

  • Yes, we design with your budget in mind and help you make informed decisions about where to invest for the greatest impact. Establishing a clear budget at the beginning of the project is essential, as it allows us to create realistic, thoughtful, and well-balanced design solutions that align with your financial expectations.

    Rather than viewing a budget as a limitation, we treat it as a guiding framework. We help prioritize spending on elements that will have the most visual, functional, or long-term value, while identifying areas where cost-effective alternatives can be used without compromising overall quality or design intent.

    Throughout the process, we remain mindful of costs when selecting materials, furnishings, and finishes, and we communicate openly about pricing, lead times, and alternatives. This transparency helps avoid surprises and supports efficient decision-making.

    By working collaboratively and within a clearly defined budget, we can deliver designs that feel considered and cohesive, regardless of scale. Whether the budget is modest or expansive, our focus remains the same: to create spaces that feel intentional, comfortable, and aligned with your vision while ensuring financial clarity and control throughout the project.

  • Project timelines are tailored according to the size, scope, and complexity of each commission. Every project is unique, and the time frame reflects factors such as the level of design detail required, decision-making processes, supplier lead times, and coordination with contractors and consultants.

    Smaller projects or focused design updates may take only a few weeks, while full-scale renovations or comprehensive interior design services can extend over several months. From the outset, we provide a clear overview of the anticipated timeline, outlining key stages such as concept development, design refinement, sourcing, and implementation.

    We believe allowing sufficient time for careful planning and design development is essential to achieving a successful outcome. Rushed decisions can compromise quality, so we prioritize thoughtful pacing that supports creativity, accuracy, and coordination.

    Throughout the project, we manage timelines proactively, keeping clients informed of progress and any factors that may influence scheduling. Our goal is to balance efficiency with attention to detail, ensuring every element is properly considered and executed. By tailoring timelines to each project, we support a smooth process and deliver interiors that feel cohesive, resolved, and well-executed.

  • Yes, we love incorporating pieces from our clients’ existing collections whenever possible. Reusing cherished furniture, artwork, or accessories adds depth, character, and personal meaning to an interior, creating spaces that feel authentic and lived-in rather than overly staged.

    We carefully assess existing items to determine how they can be integrated into the new design. This may involve reupholstering furniture, repositioning pieces, or designing the surrounding elements to complement what is already owned. Thoughtfully blending old and new creates layered interiors that tell a story and reflect the client’s history and personality.

    Incorporating existing pieces is also a sustainable design choice, reducing waste and supporting responsible consumption. We value sustainability and see great potential in reimagining what clients already have.

    By honoring meaningful objects and pairing them with new selections, we create interiors that feel balanced, intentional, and deeply personal. The result is a space that evolves with the client rather than replacing their story, offering continuity while still feeling refreshed and cohesive.

  • Clients are involved from the very beginning through an initial questionnaire and design brief, which allows us to understand their lifestyle, preferences, priorities, and goals. This foundation ensures that all design decisions are aligned with the client’s vision from the outset.

    As the project progresses, clients may choose their preferred level of involvement. They are welcome to join us for showroom visits to view materials, finishes, furniture, and fixtures in person. For clients with limited time or availability, we curate and present pre-selected options based on the original brief.

    This flexible approach allows clients to stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed. At every stage, the client retains full control and has the final say on all design decisions. Our role is to guide, advise, and streamline the process, ensuring choices are well-considered and cohesive while respecting the client’s preferences and schedule.

  • Yes, we offer online interior design services for remote clients or those who prefer a virtual approach. Our online process is fully collaborative and designed to deliver the same level of care and attention as in-person services.

    We work through video calls, digital presentations, and online communication to discuss concepts, review layouts, present material selections, and refine designs. Clients receive clear visuals, mood boards, and documentation to support confident decision-making.

    This flexible format allows clients to participate from anywhere while maintaining open communication throughout the project. Online design is ideal for remote locations, busy schedules, or projects that do not require frequent site visits, offering convenience without compromising quality or creativity.

  • Contact us to schedule an initial interior design consultation, which serves as the foundation for the entire project. During this initial, paid, consultation, we discuss your vision, lifestyle, budget, timeline, and overall goals. This conversation helps us understand how you live or work within the space and what you hope to achieve through design.

    We also explain our design process, outline potential services, and answer any questions you may have. The consultation allows us to assess the scope of the project and determine how we can best support you in creating a cohesive, personalized interior.

    This first step ensures clarity, alignment, and a strong working relationship, setting the stage for a thoughtful and successful design journey.
