How Residential Interior Design Projects Work

Designing a residential space is all about creating a home that reflects your personality, meets your practical needs, and enhances your lifestyle. Whether it’s a full renovation, a single room refresh, or expert advice on styling, the process is always collaborative and tailored to your specific vision. Here's a step-by-step guide to how I work on residential interior design projects:

1. Initial Consultation & Brief

The first step is always getting to know you and your vision for the space. During our initial consultation, I’ll ask about your needs, personal style, and how you envision the space functioning. We’ll discuss everything from colour preferences and furniture choices to specific features you’d like to incorporate. I also take the time to understand the practical aspects of the project, such as your budget, timeline, and any structural or architectural considerations. This helps set clear expectations and ensures that we are aligned from the start.

2. Concept Development & Creative Exploration

Once I have a clear understanding of your needs, I begin developing the initial design concept. This is where the creative process starts, and I use a range of tools to explore different ideas and styles:

• Sketches: I start by sketching rough ideas to visualise the layout and flow of the space. These early sketches help establish the direction for the design and give us a starting point for discussions.

• Moodboards & Pinboards: To capture the aesthetic direction, I create moodboards that combine colour palettes, textures, materials, and furniture ideas that resonate with the overall vision. These boards help you visualise how the design will come together and allow for early feedback and adjustments.

• 3D Models: Once the concept starts to take shape, I create 3D models of the space. These provide a more realistic view of the design and allow you to see how the space will look in three dimensions. 3D models are especially helpful for visualising furniture layouts, colour schemes, and how different design elements will interact in the space.

3. Design Refinement & Client Feedback

At this stage, I present the initial design concept to you for feedback. We’ll review the sketches, moodboards, and 3D models together, discussing what works well and what might need to be adjusted. Whether it’s tweaking the layout, changing the furniture pieces, or refining colour choices, the goal is to make sure that the design feels right for you and meets both your functional and aesthetic preferences.

4. Final Design & Implementation

Once we’ve finalised the design, I move on to the detailed planning phase. I create full design specifications for all the elements in the space, including:

• Furniture and decor layouts

• Colour schemes

• Lighting design

• Materials and finishes

I also manage the sourcing and procurement of the furniture and materials, ensuring everything aligns with the vision and budget.

• Styling: As the final touch, I offer styling services to perfect the look of the space, from arranging furniture to selecting decorative accessories and artworks that complete the design.

• Photography: If desired, I can photograph the finished space for my portfolio and for you to have as a record of the transformation.

5. Completion & Client Satisfaction

The final goal is to create a space that feels like home, is functional, and aligns with your personal style. Once the project is complete, I conduct a final walk-through to make sure everything is in place and that you are happy with the result. If there are any last-minute adjustments, I ensure they are taken care of before we wrap up the project.

Through sketches, moodboards, 3D models, and your feedback throughout the process, we’ll create a space that is both visually appealing and functional, designed to enhance your day-to-day life and bring your vision to life.

Fees

• Initial Consultation: £90 per room & £140 per house
  This includes a detailed analysis of the existing space, design suggestions, and an initial presentation with ideas and solutions, delivered in a PDF format. We will also schedule an online video-call to discuss the details.

• Design Fees: £220 - £650 per room, with discounted rates for multiple rooms or an entire home.
  The fees for design services vary depending on the size of the space and complexity of the project. I will provide a personalised quote based on the details of your project.

• Implementation Fees: For domestic designs, typically 15% of the total project value.
  This covers the management of sourcing and procuring furnishings, materials, and overseeing the installation process to ensure everything is executed according to the design.

Whether you’re transforming a single room or undertaking a full home renovation, I work with you every step of the way to create a space that reflects your personality and meets your needs. The process is designed to be collaborative, flexible, and focused on delivering a finished result that you’ll love living in.
