It’s not everyday you hire an interior designer and so you may not know exactly what it is we do and how we can help with your project. This blog aims to explain our profession and roles as well as how you can use our skills and services to help you create your dream home or space.
To put it simply, an interior designer considers every element of a room – the layout, lighting, furniture, window treatments, flooring, materials, textures, and much more. We look at what you currently have and design a scheme to make the space in the room work better, as well as procuring furniture, lighting, and any other materials needed to make the space work as a whole rather than individual items. Our aim is to give you a space that works for your lifestyle with each item feeling considered, beautiful and very you.
You may be thinking about purchasing a new kitchen or bathroom and wonder why you would go through an interior designer as opposed to a kitchen or bathroom showroom with their own designer. These designers are of course skilled in what they do and can help you design a lovely new kitchen or bathroom. The downside is they will only design based on the items and furniture they sell. Therefore, their designs are limited and perhaps aren’t the very best for you and your space. They will also only look at the kitchen or bathroom itself; they won’t consider the room as a whole or how that room ties into the other rooms in your home to give consistency throughout your home. If you’re looking for something bespoke, more finessed and completely built for you, this is where an interior designer can really come into their own.
Through our years of experience, we have developed a library of knowledge we can put to use on your project. We know the best places to source furniture, lighting, artwork and anything needed to complete your space through trusted suppliers. This saves you hours scrolling through the internet and not knowing who you are buying from. You can also make use of our trade discounts and trusted tradesmen to give you the best prices and best people to transform your home.
Whether you are wanting design advice to put your mind at ease before starting your own self-managed project, or if you’re wanting one person to manage your renovation completely so you can sit back and enjoy watching the process, we have different service packages available to help you with your project and needs.
