you may love your home but feel unsure about what needs to change. perhaps the rooms need new furniture, colour and texture, or the layout needs rethinking to make everyday life more comfortable. interior design and decoration can address these needs together, with the extent of the work shaped around you.
look at the space as a whole
interior design considers the arrangement of a space alongside its fixed elements: joinery, materials, finishes and lighting. interior decoration brings furniture, textiles, rugs, curtains and objects into that setting, giving rooms warmth and personal expression.
the two often develop together. a furniture plan can inform the position of lighting; a curtain detail may need to be considered before a ceiling is finished. looking at these relationships early helps the selections work together.
begin with what you want to change
think about where your home could work better for you. you might want a comfortable place to read, more space around the dining table or a kitchen where family and friends can gather. share what you would like to change, alongside the furniture you love and the parts of your home you enjoy. together, these details help us understand whether to reconsider the layout, introduce new furnishings or develop both together.
understand how the ideas will develop
understanding what is included helps you know what to expect as your project develops. drawings, material samples and 3d visualisations allow you to explore the ideas and see how the selections work together. we agree the scope with you before beginning, outlining the design work, documentation and any ordering we will look after.
