FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the selected design style affect the cost of the interior design project?

No, the style in itself does not affect the cost. What matters is the volume of technical documentation: an interior in a minimalist style needs less of it than a baroque one.

What is included in an interior design project?

An interior design project is not just a set of beautiful sketches of your future space. It is a full set of technical documentation that accounts for every detail. In our experience it is precisely this level of documentation that leaves no part of the interior to chance. What the interior design project contains: 1. Plan of the space before the works (measured survey) 2. Demolition plan 3. Plan of new structures 4. Layout with dimensions 5. Furniture layout plan 6. Floor plan with floor-covering layout 7. Underfloor heating plan 8. Door and doorway schedule 9. Lighting plan with switch positions 10. Ventilation and air-conditioning plan 11. Detailed ceiling plan 12. Ceiling sections 13. Socket and low-voltage plan 14. Plumbing layout plan 15. Interior detail drawings 16. 3D interior visualisation (photorealistic views) 17. Interior colour schedule (RAL references) 18. Wall elevations 19. Sections of every part of the interior that needs them 20. Drawings for bespoke furniture 21. Selection of furniture, finishes and accessories (full furnishing and procurement) 22. Finishes schedule with areas, quantities and product names

What does decoration include?

Decoration is the core of interior design: it gives the project individuality, uniqueness, and beauty. It’s the styling of the interior with accessories — paintings, vases, clocks, mirrors, curtains, stone-and-flower compositions, wall art, tapestries, embroidery, and much more that makes the space cosy and complete. The choice of the colour palette is also important: with the right combination of colours and shades, items work well together and form a cohesive whole.

What is needed to begin work on an interior design project? How does it happen?

Before we start, we meet to agree the technical brief and the design brief: the style, how the future interior should be equipped, colour preferences, finishes and the budget. At the next meeting we sign the contract (sent over and agreed by email beforehand), after which you hand over the existing floor plans of the property. On the same day or the next we carry out a measured survey, and once the advance payment is made the design work begins in earnest.

Why is design supervision needed?

Design supervision means visiting the site (usually one to three times a week and no more than six times a month; the exact number is set in the contract) to clarify details, record comments in the design and in the works log, and settle questions about the design documentation with the client and the contractor. It keeps the finished space true to the original design and saves the cost of rework caused by builders misreading the documentation or by changes made during construction.

How many layout options are offered to the client?

As a rule we offer two or three layout options. Sometimes there are more — it depends on the size and the constraints of the space. The option the client approves is then developed into the full design project. In any case we work through every workable option and put forward the best one.
