Our Design process
Before we design schemes we get to know our clients - to find out the way they live, think, feel and use their homes or working spaces. Only then do we start designing for their spatial needs. Our aim is to provide clients with an interior that is balanced - beautiful and functional, contemporary and timeless, simple and clever, sensual and practical - with a character that complements their own. We research and source appliances, furniture, lighting and finishes from any suitable suppliers - allowing our designs to be versatile yet distinctive to suit our clients' needs and reflect their personality. We unite cheap-chic with designer items & finishes - mass-produced or custom-made, old or new, harsh or soft - creating an environment that is relaxed and not contrived.
We normally put forward a subtle initial design that is a canvas for individual styles, marks and statements - yet flexible and versatile to allow for future changes in details to accommodate new ideas or circumstances. We provide conceptual designs, together with an eclectic mixture of furnishing and decorative details, to create unique spatial experiences.
