INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
& DESIGN
Creating beautiful, timeless and practical living solutions across Kent, Sussex and Surrey
A good Interior Designer is an asset when embarking on a project and many of our clients have said that we have saved them time, money and often their sanity. Whatever your reason for considering using an interior architect/designer, we can probably help.
We deal with the nuts and bolts of interior design and project management on a daily basis and offer a complete range of services which include but are not restricted to: spatial planning, additions (extensions), alterations, lighting design, custom joinery, bathroom design, kitchen design, home leisure facilities, colour consultancy, home automation, interior styling, wine rooms, home cinema, furniture, curtains, blinds and soft furnishings.
We are pleased to be able to offer sensibly priced design, decorate and furnishing packages. If your home is due for an overhaul or perhaps you are considering buying a property that requires a bit of a refresh but you don’t have the time or the will to tackle the project yourself please get in touch. We can take care of everything right down to the last teaspoon.
BATHROOM DESIGN
Often the smallest room in a house but arguably one of the most important. Bathroom design is one of our most regular requests.
Over the past decade we have noticed an increase in requests for luxury bathroom design. Many of our client’s homes in the villages surrounding Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Lewes were built when a bathroom was a tin bath and an outhouse and we are often required to adapt spaces and use compromised ceiling spaces. We are used to the limitations presented by historic buildings and we have found that some of the trickiest spaces are the most successful. Luckily we enjoy a challenge.
It is important to note that unlike the bathroom shops, we are not restricted to particular manufacturers but consult whole of market and will specify what is right for your scheme. Our business model is based on a set fee rather than a retail mark-up. We can provide comprehensive shopping lists, layouts, lighting and tiling plans. If custom joinery is appropriate, we can provide scale designs and specifications. In addition to this we also specify solid surfaces, cladding and panelling details. If you have your own contractor you will be provided with clear documentation which will make everyone’s life much easier and reduce the risk of miscommunication.
If you are local to our studio and want us to arrange the implementation of your new bathroom design, we can provide clearly priced packages and provide an end-to-end service. Packages for multiple bathrooms, new build and developer schemes are available by request.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Preparation is key when delivering a successful interior design scheme and the devil really is in the detail, however all the preparation in the world is useless if you fail to monitor the day to day work.
Developing a design into real space can be a daunting task. There are many facets to delivering successful project. Much of the work takes place long before the on-site work starts and preparation is always key. Budgeting, feasibility, sequencing work, selecting and engaging specialist trades and general administration are just part of the job.
Once a project is live it is essential that someone monitors and administrates the project on a regular basis. Failure to do so can result in personnel making executive decisions or simply taking the easy way out. The result can be disappointing and stressful. The biggest complaint we hear is normally related to budgets. Money can be a contentious issue and cause many a sleepless night. The second complaint is always how much time it takes to run a project and how utterly consuming it can be.
We offer set priced project management however, if you are comfortable and have the time to run your build but would like some help getting the proverbial ducks in a row, we can help with the essential preparation. We are happy to discuss current projects that have either run into problems or ground to a halt and can offer blocks of hours for you to use at strategic points throughout your project
CONSULTANCY
In person consultancy in Kent, Sussex, West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey. Online and over the telephone available Nationwide
We have found that there is demand and a space in the market for ad hoc consultancy. The reasons clients call on us is varied but common requests are accompanied viewing (to assess a potential house purchase), help with choices, redesigns mid project, budgeting advice on live projects and contract/admin queries/issues. There are numerous reasons that clients feel they need a bit of help or perhaps simply a second opinion. Please feel welcome to get in touch to discuss your individual requirements.
Plan Review
Building is expensive and sometimes a pause and a fresh viewpoint is a valuable exercise. Architectural plan review service available nationwide from our Sevenoaks studio.
Undertaking an extension, new build or remodel can be totally overwhelming. We have been helping clients maximise their designs for many years. Working with an Interior Designer who specialises in spatial layouts can generate ideas that you would never have considered and most certainly save you from very expensive mistakes.
Sometimes a simple tweak here and there can be the difference between good and fantastic. Let’s be honest nobody wants to spend thousands of pounds for an underwhelming outcome and it may not cost as much as you think. Our review service starts from £240. You don’t need to be local to our base in Sevenoaks Kent to use this service. Providing you have the internet; we can work together. Send us an email or give us a call and find out how we can help you create that space you have always dreamed of.
Lighting Design
Lighting design is often overlooked or is simply an after thought and in our opinion it’s arguably one of the most important parts of an interior design scheme.
It doesn’t matter how great your architectural or interior design is, lighting will make or break a scheme and should always be integrated as part of the design process. It doesn’t necessarily need to be complicated; just considered and embedded early on.
It is important to note that we are not tied to suppliers and consult whole of market. We will specify what is correct for your project; not try and create a design solely revolving around expensive decorative fittings. Our remit also extends to exterior lighting. Lighting design can be offered as a stand-alone service and we are pleased to be able to offer competitively set priced packages. Please get in touch to see how we can help you.
