So, what is the process when working with an interior designer? It’s simpler than you think!
Check out the 5 steps in our process below:
Step One: Initial Consultation
Everything begins with a conversation.
Whether meeting in person or online (via our virtual eDecorating service), we’ll discuss your vision, preferences, and practical needs. We want to know how you actually live in your space – and how we can tailor the design to you!
Think of it as getting to know each other over coffee, but with the added bonus of creating something beautiful together.
Step Two: Style Assessment
Understanding your unique style is essential.
During this phase, we’ll create your custom style guide by discussing your likes and dislikes.
This isn’t just about choosing colours or furniture – or following trends – it’s about discovering what truly resonates with you. Take a peek at our portfolio to see how we’ve helped other clients bring their unique styles to life.
Expert EB tip: A quick note about budgets (because everyone wonders about this! “Can an interior designer work to my budget?” and “Can I afford an Interior Designer?” are frequent items in our inbox).
You can read more in our ‘budget-friendly design’ blog, but the short answer is: YES. Just be upfront with us about your plans, and we’ll help you achieve the look you want within your comfort zone.
Step Three: Custom Planning
This is where creativity meets practicality.
Here’s where things get exciting. With your vision clearly defined, we move into the detailed planning phase.
You’ll receive personalised mood boards that bring your ideas to life visually, and we’ll discuss space planning in detail. For larger projects, this might involve our Design & Construct or Full-Service Interior Design expertise for larger projects.
And don’t worry – you don’t have to commit to decorating your entire house at once.
Is it possible to just work on a few rooms and not the entire house? 100%. Whether it’s a Full-Service Interior Design project requiring architectural changes, a Bachelor Pad makeover, or just help with Finishing Touches, we can do what you want, when you want.
In fact, many clients start with one area and expand the project as they see our process in action.
Step Four: Material Selection
Time to put our expertise to the test!
With access to an extensive network of suppliers, we handpick materials and furnishings that not only look beautiful but work perfectly for your lifestyle.
For both Commercial Interior Design or Residential projects, we ensure every material or furniture selection serves both form and function. We can also mix retail items with our exclusive trade discounts!
Step Five: Implementation
The final step is where everything comes together.
Our team handles all the details – from delivery scheduling to final styling – so you can simply walk into your beautifully finished space and start enjoying it right away.
