How it Works
Let's meet on a complimentary Discovery Call to get a general overview of your project. This is followed by a paid in-home consultation to understand what you want to specifically achieve from your project and review the details. At the Exploratory phase we will conduct an in-depth design interview, schedule preliminary contractor walkthroughs, review budget planning and begin working on your initial design concept.
Based on an in-depth understanding of your requirements, lifestyle, aspirations and personal style, we select all products and materials specific to your design preferences and functional needs. We create a comprehensive design plan that addresses every aspect of your space. Our design presentations include 3D renderings, precise floor plans, physical samples of product and materials, which enables you to visualise your completed space.
At the design execution phase, we act as your advocate to ensure that the design plan is followed, and provide guidance on resolving on-site issues. Meanwhile, furniture is ordered and tracked, ready for delivery. Once construction is wrapped up, an installation day is scheduled. All furniture is installed, artwork hung, accessories placed, and finishing touches applied. Finally, deficiencies are remedied. Your personalised home is now ready for you to move in.
Read the FAQs
How much does this package cost? Do I need to pay up front?
Every project is unique and pricing will be customised according to the size and complexity of the project.
The price is packaged and discussed upfront so there are no surprises along the way. The pricing is also flexible, so that you may add-on services as we go. If more services are added then an estimate will be provided upon request prior to the commencement of additional work.
Work commences with the payment of a deposit at the beginning of the contract. Payments made thereafter are staged and tied to project deliverables. I will provide all these details prior to engagement in the Services Proposal you receive at the end of the Project Launch Sequence.
I don't know how much to invest in this project. Will you help me figure it out?
Yes. A key part of our service is to help you build a realistic investment budget for your project that you are comfortable with and will stick to. Building a cushion to soften the blow of unforeseen contingencies is a must.
Ascertaining the numbers is a major component in the planning phase. We will also revisit these numbers periodically through budgetary checkpoints and check ins throughout the project; this is an integral part of our process.
Do I need to sign a contract?
Yes. It is important that we have a contract in place to understand our mutual roles and obligations. A good contract protects all parties and sets expectations. This is true of all professionals that you work with on your renovation journey.
It is equally important that your carefully peruse these contracts and get a good understanding of what these entail. My contract with you will be written in plain English and I welcome questions and clarifications being made prior to signing on the proverbial dotted line.
I have some furniture pieces that I want to keep for my renovated home - is this OK?
Yes. This is perfectly all right. In fact, I encourage you to keep pieces of furniture, accessories and artwork that have meaning to you and will make sense within your newly renovated space.
Even though we won’t be moving walls, we may move these pieces of furniture around the house. As such, we will work out the space plan for your furniture, both old and new to be cohesive within your refreshed home.
I just need a list of items that I need to buy and I'll pull it altogether myself. Is this OK?
Aside from the floor plan design package, we offer full service design. This means after the design concept is presented and approved sourcing is done for you from our exclusive trade catalogues. This is a huge perk of engaging me for your home transformation.
These items are shipped either directly to you or warehoused on your behalf till they are installed and styling completed; in a process that culminates in a reveal day. In short, I do the heavy lifting and you enjoy your completed home.
Will you hire the trades people for this project?
I don’t hire trades people on your behalf. At the execution stage, however, I will provide guidance on hiring trades people and work with them to ensure the design intent is being met.
Do I need to get any licences or approvals to complete this project?
Generally, given this is a cosmetic renovation, with no structural changes licences or approvals will not be needed for works within your home.
If you are in a rental property or a property managed by strata it is best to check with your landlord or strata management for what can and cannot be done. This will enable a smooth project flow.
How fast can I get this project done?
It is very important that you share your deadlines and preferred completion dates during the Discovery Call.
Ideally in a project such as this you’d take your time and work through the pre-planning and design phases thoroughly and to your complete satisfaction prior to moving on to the execution phases.
By the end of the Pre-Launch Sequence we will be in a better position to work out a realistic timeline together.
