We send you some homework to complete ahead of our first consultation with you that helps give us a better idea of your taste and preferences. We then discuss this in detail with you at the first consult so you have the opportunity to explain your design preferences or show us more examples of what you like.
Communicating your design style (or lack of if you haven’t settled on one yet) can be difficult so we always suggest you show us images of what you do or don’t like so we can understand your style. For us, a picture paints 1,000 words so is always the easiest way to share your design ideas with us.
Of course! We started offering this service because we had many clients wanting to work with us who already had existing pieces that were special to them or brand new and didn’t need replacing. So we’re well versed in working with existing items and selecting pieces that will help finish off rooms nicely.
Just let us know in your first consult which pieces are really special to you and we’ll photograph them so we can be sure to incorporate them in the designs.
Art is the hardest item to choose for a room as it’s such a personal choice. We ask you a lot of questions at the first consult about your art preferences and ask that you show us some styles you like so we’re fully across what you do and don’t like to have hung on your walls.
Yes! We know how important it is to use pieces in the home that have sentimental value or are important to the occupants of the home so we are happy to work with anything you feel helps tell a story and needs to find a special place in the house.
We have a customised Budget Spreadsheet we share with you at the start of the project that outlines Good, Better & Best price points for furniture and decor so you can work through this with us before we start picking out items.
We believe in investing in your big ticket items and saving on other areas like decorative pieces think – cushions or side tables and table lamps. We’ll discuss your priorities with you at your first consult so we’re sourcing pieces accordingly.
Because we’re not doing an entire home it’ll be a faster process. We typically turn designs around within 2-3 weeks and then depending on stock availability can have pieces delivered within a week or two from there. If you have a special event coming up or a specific deadline you need us to work to, please let us know when you meet with us so we can try to meet your timeframes.
Yes we’ve worked hard to secure excellent working relationships with the best wholesale furniture suppliers the country has to offer. Many of these suppliers supply direct to your favourite retail stores so there’s no need to go shopping at retail stores as you’ll receive our trade discount when working with us.
Yes, we have a number of custom upholsterers and carpenters to make specialised pieces of furniture, cushions and curtains/window coverings to specific dimensions or colour palettes.
Of course! There’s no specific deadline you need to order items by, it’s completely up to you when and how you execute the designs. Obviously stock levels will change so we advise doing your finishing touches in one hit but if you can’t or don’t want to do it in one go we can offer re-selections for any out of stock items.
