How I Can Help You
Whether you are looking to build a new home or renovate an existing one, there are so many decisions that you’ll need to make along the way.
The following will help to give you an idea of the services I can provide, however I do appreciate every project and client brief is different, so please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me to discuss your individual project requirements.
Kitchen, Bathroom & Laundry Design
Involving me during the early stages of a kitchen, bathroom or laundry project can help to ensure critical details are considered before construction commences.
What differentiates me from other interior designers is that I am able to do both the detailed technical design as well as specifying the best materials, colours and finishes ensuring an integrated and cohesive process with no need to outsource any of the spatial aspects to a third party (additional kitchen designer or kitchen company etc).
The process is broken down into four carefully planned steps (see process page) to help guide you through the process, with all designs being developed using the latest CAD software that will be presented in both 2D and 3D views so that you can get a sense of what your space will look like on completion.
Custom Made Joinery
From built in book-shelves or entertainment units to window seats and more I can help you design a solution that works for the space in mind. Again, all designs will be developed by me, using the latest CAD software ensuring accurate detailed working drawings.
Interior & Exterior Colour Schemes
Colour schemes to cover both the interior and exterior of your home.
Exterior Selections:
An exterior colour package including paint colours or stains as well as all other features of your exterior fixtures (including but not limited to your roof, garage and front doors, joinery, cladding and more). This will help to ensure a cohesive plan with all elements working together visually.
Interior Selections:
An interior colour scheme, specifying all interior paint colours (including walls, ceilings, trims), any feature walls or wallpaper throughout your home would be included as part of the interior colour package.
Window Treatments & Flooring
Window Treatments
From shutters to roller blinds, custom-made curtains and drapes to roman blinds or venetians there are so many options to consider when choosing window treatments for your home. With both budget and technical considerations for each, I’ll advise you on the solution that best fits your brief.
Flooring Selections
With both knowledge and experience around the different flooring options available, I can help guide you through the process and help you select the best options for your home. This can include selecting carpet, tiles, timber flooring options and/or laminates for different areas.
Furniture, Lighting & Accessories Selections
I can guide you through the process of selecting both furniture and lighting that reflects your personality, the style of your home and most importantly, your lifestyle. Often working with wholesale and trade only suppliers to select the best options available for either your entire home or simply a single room.
