INTERIOR DESIGN FAQS
-
Bringing a space to life involves countless design decisions — from layout and color schemes to furniture, finishes, and styling. It can quickly become overwhelming. As experienced interior designers, we guide you through the entire process, offering the expertise and creative direction needed to turn your vision into reality. Our goal is to simplify the journey, take the stress out of decision-making, and ensure the final result is a space you truly love.
-
Yes we do! Over the years we have built up a fantastic portfolio of trade professionals that we highly recommend and regularly refer to our clients.
-
Absolutely. We work with clients across New Zealand, even overseas!
-
We ask that you prepare a full list of everything you would like to achieve and any relevant images of rooms, styles or colours you are drawn to. This allows us to have a clearer discussion around likes and dislikes and helps us to understand exactly what you are after in terms of an end result. This information becomes our ‘Scope of Work’.
-
This is a great time to involve an Interior Designer to save you from making costly mistakes. Spatial design, scale and proportion are all important factors to take into account when purchasing new furniture. A huge part of our job is to get the flow and feel right for your spaces and how you use them.
-
Yes. The initial consultation is a vital time for us both, as that is when we will delve deep into the finer details of the project, covering off all aspects of the design. From the moment we meet we start sharing our expertise and advice.
-
We source all our furnishings, materials and décor from various suppliers across New Zealand and abroad. Some of these are accessible to account-holders only, so working with us gives you direct access to unique pieces not available to the general public.
HOME STAGING FAQS
-
Home Staging is a wonderful tool for preparing your home for sale.
The goal of staging is to create the illusion of space and make your home as appealing as possible to the highest number of potential buyers, in order to sell your property faster and for a higher price. -
With every home we always take the key factors of buyer target market and the physical environment into account. Our focus is on delivering great quality, thought-out presentation with attention to detail; for which we only use the best furniture, art and accessories. Having been in the industry for many years, what sets us apart is not only our interior styling ability, but our understanding of just how to present any property to its maximum potential.
-
When it comes to selling your home, staging is an investment rather than a cost. It is the most effective way to improve the look and feel of your property without the need for costly renovations. When compared to the other costs associated with selling a home, staging is very reasonable.
We’re not a one-size-fits-all property styling agency and do not provide packages. Every home has different requirements and therefore lend themselves to a more tailored approach. We can provide you with a free, no-obligation quote on visiting your property to assess requirements. Contact us to arrange a viewing time.
-
Partial home staging is where we work with your existing furniture, adding and/or substituting some pieces with our own to make the best use of the spaces. This type of staging can be useful when you plan to still live in the property while it is for sale. A full home stage is when the property is vacant and so requires everything from furniture through to art to bring out the best of the space.
For preparation before staging, we ask that the home be thoroughly cleaned and, in the case of partial staging, clear of any items of furniture our Interior Designers may have suggested removing during our initial consultation.
-
This can vary depending on the size of the property, however with all hands on deck we can confidently install a full three bedroom house in around 3 hours.
