THE SERVICES.
INTERIOR DESIGN FOR HOMEOWNERS

INTERIOR DESIGN FOR COMMERCIAL USE
We design thoughtful, branded environments for hospitality, retail, and office spaces. Each project is tailored to enhance your customer experience, reflect your values, and support your business goals.
INTERIOR DESIGN FOR DISPLAY HOMES
From display homes to sales suites, we help developers present properties in their best light. Our designs create emotional connections and elevate buyer appeal — driving interest, building trust, and supporting faster sales.
THE
PROCESS.
We begin with a free initial consultation, either over the phone or via call, where we get to know you and your vision for your home. From there, we create curated mood boards that bring the design direction to life, showing the proposed look and feel for each space.
You’ll have the opportunity to share feedback and collaborate with us to refine the concepts until everything feels just right.
Once the design is finalised, we offer two flexible pathways depending on your budget and how involved you’d like to be:
•The Curated List
Perfect for those who love to be hands-on. We provide
a detailed shopping list of all recommended items and
contractor schedules, so you can purchase and
implement the design at your own pace.
•The Full Story
Our complete turnkey service. We manage everything
from sourcing and ordering to coordinating deliveries,
trades, installation and final styling — delivering a
beautifully finished space.
