Services
Complete Package
This comprehensive service guides clients through every stage of their interior design project. From initial concept development to final implementation, I coordinate design elements, material selection, and construction oversight. Acting as a liaison between homeowners and build teams, the package ensures cohesive execution of your vision while maintaining functional and aesthetic standards tailored to your lifestyle.
Design Consult
A two-hour tailored session addressing specific design challenges or project goals. Prior to the consultation, clients complete a detailed questionnaire to ensure focused, actionable advice. This service helps clarify design direction, refine budget strategies, and build confidence in decision-making for homeowners undertaking renovation or construction projects.
Concept Plans
Pre-construction planning service that establishes functional layouts and spatial flow. Includes floorplan analysis, furniture arrangement proposals, and reference imagery to visualise the space. These foundational plans ensure alignment between client expectations and build team execution, preventing costly changes during later construction phases.
Style Guides
Curated design roadmaps that maintain design consistency throughout projects. Combining moodboards, colour palettes, and material specifications, these guides translate abstract ideas into tangible design choices. The service helps clients make confident decisions about finishes and furnishings that reflect their personal aesthetic while ensuring cohesive interior environments.
Furnishings
Tailored furniture and decor selection service that balances beauty with practicality. Includes showroom visits and access to trade discounts. The process focuses on integrating new pieces with existing cherished items to create spaces that feel both curated and lived-in, enhancing both functionality and emotional connection to the home.
