Frequently Asked Questions
WHY HIRE A DESIGNER?
My ultimate goal is to help people through the overwhelm. Starting from the initial consultation, we will work together to develop a clear action plan tailored to your project, helping you to explore options and develop solutions all with keeping that vision of your end goals at the fore.
WHAT SERVICES CAN YOU PROVIDE?
Space Planning – flow, feel and function within a space. From structural changes to organisation systems, and everything in between – to address what’s needed to help make your home work best for you!
Decorating and Styling advice – colour, styles, practicalities; choosing the right scheme, furniture, accessories, art. I can help with all of this and more.
Pre-Build Review – Helping you with the overwhelm of a renovating of building project.
Review of your plans – considering flow, layout and end use, before its too late.
Help liaise and communicate with your builder re: design and decisions – make sure everything is understood in both directions
Create documentation and selection schedules that your contractor will require re: fittings and finishes.
WHY CHOOSE YOU?
I believe that interior design can change your day-to-day life – the impact is real and often immediate – furthermore I believe that good design should be for everyone. I work with real people and real budgets, with an eye towards sustainability and practicality at all times.
Every home, family and project requires a difference approach. I work with you to establish a plan for a space that is functional, fulfilling and just the way you would like it to be.
WHAT IF MY PROJECT HAS ALREADY STARTED?
That’s totally fine! I can meet you where you’re at.
I have worked with many people at different stages of the project, often its in the middle that things get so overwhelming that an outside perspective can really help!
WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?
My interior design style is founded in practicality.
Function should guide us in all design. But that doesn’t have to be any one aesthetic.
Personally, I love to create spaces that feel warm and inviting; that reflect the life and personalities of the people who live there; space spaces full of colour and texture and a sense that a home has grown and matured over time.
I love to travel, meet people and explore.
I have a real interest in and passion for architecture and art of all kinds.
But what I like is certainly not what you want.
WHAT IF I HAVE A DIFFERENT STYLE THAN YOU?
Personal preference is key. I always work with my clients to develop an understanding of their own design identity so that you can have confidence in your decisions, and better understand how to achieve the feel you want for your home.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Let me know about your project and we can make a plan to meet.
I always advise to start with an initial consultation and then we can make a brief outline and an action plan for how best to approach your project.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT I NEED?
