3 questions we are commonly asked as an interior design company: 🎨Can you help me define my design style? Many people have a general idea of what they like, but struggle to translate that into a cohesive design style. A good interior designer will ask questions about your lifestyle, favourite colours and textures, and inspirational spaces to help you pinpoint your ideal aesthetic. 🏠How can I maximise the functionality of my space? Space optimisation is a key skill for interior designers. We can suggest furniture arrangements, storage solutions, and multi-functional pieces to ensure your room meets all your needs without feeling cramped. 💰What is a realistic budget for this project, and how can I stick to it? We can help you create a realistic budget for your project, taking into account materials, furniture, labour, and any potential unforeseen costs. They can also offer advice on how to prioritise elements and find cost-effective solutions to achieve your desired look.

When creating a design concept, focusing on details and decor is crucial as it brings the design to life and ensures that the concept is communicated effectively. Here are some key aspects to consider: 1. Textures and Materials: - we incorporate various textures and materials to add depth and interest. For example, mix smooth and rough surfaces or combine different fabrics and finishes. 2. Furniture and Layout: - We select furniture pieces that match the design concept. Pay attention to their arrangement to ensure the space is functional and visually appealing. 3. Decorative Elements: - We add decor items like artwork, sculptures, plants, and accessories. These elements should reflect the theme and add personality to the design. 4. Details and Finishes: - We pay attention to small details such as trim, hardware, and finishes on furniture and fixtures. These subtle touches can make a significant impact on the overall aesthetic. 5. Consistency and Balance: - We maintain consistency throughout the design to create a harmonious look. Balance different elements to avoid overwhelming the space. By focusing on these aspects, We create a concept design that is detailed, well-decorated, and effectively communicate the intended vision.

It’s not just about style—it’s about your expert eye and bold creativity that make all the difference. Ever walk into a space and feel like something is missing?
