When designing the interior of a home or commercial premise, good spatial planning is the key to its success.
Spatial planning requires consideration of the space as a whole and how each individual space is best designed for the user.
Not only does spatial planning improve the functionality of a space, it can also save you time and money as you can be assured that your furniture and furnishings will actually fit in their allocated space.
Involving me in the early stages of your project can result in a space that is functional and beautiful as well as being conducive to everyday living.
As with spatial design, involving me in the early stages of a kitchen, bathroom or laundry project can help to ensure that critical details are considered before construction commences.
For kitchen design, it is important not only to consider the footprint of the kitchen, but the layout of the kitchen and sizes of the appliances as well as the practicality of what needs to be stored and where.
Similarly for bathroom and laundry design, it is important to maximise the space whilst ensuring all fittings are accounted for.
I am able to produce detailed designs using CAD software that is presented in both 2D and 3D views so you can truly get a sense of what your space will look like on completion.
Whether it be bespoke shelving, built in furniture or custom seating I can provide a full design and material specification as well as oversee the production and installation.
All designs will be developed by me using CAD software that is presented in both 2D and 3D views so you have a true sense of what the finished piece will look like.
For production, I have a longstanding relationship with a number of bespoke cabinetmakers who help turn my concepts into reality.
I have access to and knowledge of an extensive range of materials, finishes, fixtures and fittings to complete your project.
I understand that for some people, the selection process can be a daunting one. I will work alongside you, leading you through the selection process to ensure a successful project outcome.
Each selection is detailed and documented to allow for ease of pricing and construction.
With both knowledge and experience I can advise you on the best window treatment and/or flooring solutions available for your project.
I have worked with a number of key suppliers and can guide you through the material selection process as well as sourcing quotes for manufacturing and installation.
I will work with you to select pieces taking into account your brief, the design direction and the spatial planning requirements of your project.
I work with a number of custom furniture manufacturers as well as retailers and wholesalers and will present you with a number of options for each piece.
A full schedule of each furniture piece including selected finishes and the cost will be provided to you to assist you in your decision making.
If required, I also have contacts in the Art industry if you are looking for that special piece to complete or begin your design journey.
Once the design process is complete, I will work with you to procure the materials, furniture, and other products that are needed to bring your project to reality.
This can include everything from paint and wallpaper, bathroom and kitchen fittings to furniture and decorative accessories.
The procurement process can be time-consuming and challenging, as it involves coordinating with multiple vendors and suppliers to ensure that everything is delivered on time and within budget. However, it is an important part of the interior design process, as it helps to ensure that the finished space is functional, stylish, and meets your needs.
I work not only with retailers but with wholesalers and manufacturers so furniture and furnishings can be designed and customised to meet your brief.
Project management in interior design refers to the process of organising and co-ordinating all the various tasks and responsibilities involved in completing a design project.
This includes co-ordinating with contractors and suppliers to ensure that all of the necessary materials and products are delivered on time.
I have access to a wide network of industry professionals and have high expectations for the built details and finished project. I am available to work alongside your builder, architect and various trades to ensure the interior design aspect of your project runs smoothly and the design is delivered.
By using my services, this can help take the burden of managing a project off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on more enjoyable other areas of your business or personal life.
