01. DESIGN CONSULT

This is where I will have an initial meeting with you and view the site, space or plans.  We will talk through the details and aspirations of your project, including any existing plans from your architect or builder. I love to get an insight into how you want your home to feel and function to ensure the design aligns to your lifestyle and values. This will help me to gain a clear perspective of areas you need my design input for your home, with consideration around budget and timelines, and how I can ensure the design for your home is thoughtfully considered at every step of the way, ultimately focusing on creating a home that tells your own unique story, and enhances your daily living.

Initial consultation | $295 + GST (up to 2 hours)

Following our initial consult an Estimated Fee Proposal is created to provide indicative fees to undertake the project.

Design Process

02. Concept

Upon accepting the proposal, the fun begins. At this stage we will view any imagery that portrays your vision for your home and based on our initial meeting I will create an initial concept board just to confirm your overall style. We will look over any specific plans, considering all aspects of your design, kitchen + bathroom layout, furniture, cabinetry and ultimately considering how the space will feel and will be used. I will compose a presentation of design ideas, inspirational imagery and mood boards for the main areas i.e., kitchen, bathroom, living and dining, including relevant samples, which will guide us through the design project for your home or space. At this stage my goal is to ensure you feel confident and have clarity with the design direction for your project. Collaboration together and feedback helps to ensure the design journey is an enjoyable one.

03. Design Development

Once design concept is defined, we start the selection and specification of hard fit out items such as wall finishes, colours, flooring, lighting, cabinetry and hardware. These can all be sourced from different suppliers, determined by design aesthetics, timeline and budget considerations. I will develop a comprehensive finishes and fittings specification schedule in this step of the process, with samples of each of these provided where possible to develop imagery and a feel of how I envisage the project coming together.

At this stage we may visit certain showrooms together to view selections such as kitchen and bathroom fittings, tiles or benchtops.
Selection of furniture / accessories as the final layer piece to the overall design is decided here if required.

04. Design Implementation

See your beautiful space come to life. This stage all the decisions and overall vision we have worked together on become a reality. I will meet on site with builders and other trades where required to ensure the design aspect is considered in detail and to our expectation, including taps in bathrooms are set at the right height, tiles are laid in a specific way and to check on progress as required.
