Comprehensive interior design services to meet your bespoke requirements
1. Assess, Plan, Design, and Implement
We start by finding out about your wishes, hopes, dreams and aspirations so that we can turn them into real life drawings and schedules.
Your project journey begins with a Design Brief from which a route from concept to installation is carefully constructed, meticulously planned and illustrated. Illustrating your vision is vital to ensuring your expectations are understood and implemented by your project team.
We undertake whole home or single room projects with an equal commitment to excellence: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, dressing rooms, living rooms, family rooms, home cinemas, garden rooms, garage conversion. We also design for special needs and adapted living.
Spatial Planning ensures that the flow from one room to another, including the placement of doors and windows, are practical and logical. Our clients frequently highlight this as the most important ‘hidden’ element in the comfort and contentment factor of their home. Editing and making changes as the design evolves is much easier at the drawing stage and helps to avoid expensive mistakes later on during the build.
A Furniture Plan enables us to assemble, schedule, and cost the appropriate materials and services, as well as ensuring that your room’s function is achieved and enhanced.
Lighting Schemes are created in harmony with the furniture plan providing layers of light to suit mood, ambience and task. We design, specify, and source a comprehensive range of fixed and decorative light fittings.
Electrical Plans are vital to specify the positioning of sockets and outlets for lighting and equipment in relation to the furniture plan. Importantly it enables the construction team to anticipate the electrical loading requirements. It can also be tailored for AV and Smart Home applications.
Finishes and Furnishings Finishes and Furnishings are, of course, sourced with the utmost care and attention to quality, detail, and fair trade practices.

How much do we charge for our services?
We recognise that every project is different and unique to each client so in order to plan and cost fairly and consistently we use the RIBA Plan of Work 2020. We start by defining the project brief and specifyling the activities and resources such as the number and type of technical drawings needed to bring the project to fruition. A fee proposal is prepared accordingly.
How long does it take?
The length of time a project takes depends on so many things: the availability of trades, the amount of bespoke work and complexity. All of which are identified and advised during the concept design stages. Time for design and final installation needs to be added to the actual build time.
