Ideally, as early as possible! Engaging an interior designer at the start of your build, renovation, or home furnishing project means we can guide key decisions like layouts, materials, finishes, lighting, furniture, and styling. Getting this right early saves time, stress, and costly mistakes later on.

We provide a complete range of interior design services for new builds, renovations, and home furnishing projects. This includes materials and finishes selections, full interior documentation, kitchen and bathroom design, and turnkey furniture packages. Whether you’re updating one room, designing your forever home, or furnishing your entire space, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Every project is different, so we quote on a per-project basis. Our design fees are fixed, which means you’ll know upfront exactly what to expect.

We start each project with an Initial Design Consult ($350) to understand your brief, the scope of your project, and how involved you’d like us to be. From there, we provide a tailored fee proposal. If you decide to go ahead with your project, the cost of the Initial Design Consult is deducted from your total design fees.

You can start off my filing out the enquiry form. Once we receive your brief, we arrange a design call to chat about your goals, scope, and style. From there, we send a tailored proposal outlining our process, timelines, and fees. Then we move to design concepts, selections, and documentation — including furniture and styling — to bring your vision to life. https://portal.dubsado.com/public/form/view/5f71b7ab129b6fb3fb842915?
