It’s always our goal to help you make your home beautiful, functional, peaceful and super stylish - creating the best possible backdrop for you to live your life.

Meeting with a professional interior designer may seem daunting, but use our top 6 tips to make the most of your initial consultation to start the journey of creating a home you absolutely love.

show us what you like

It’s super helpful if you have visual examples to show us like images from magazines, Pinterest boards, or even photos from our own Instagram page or website. Even if you don’t know why you like them, we’ll start to see patterns emerging.

know your priorities

Be sure to communicate any non-negotiables, deadlines or constraints. And be clear on what’s most important to you - think about price, timings, convenience, looks, quality, durability, New Zealand designed and made.

how do you want to use your space?

We will want to know about your lifestyle, how you live in your home and what you want the end result to be.

communicate your budget

It’s often difficult to pin down a specific budget for a project, but if you have budget parameters in mind, be sure to communicate them and it will be our responsibility to ensure you receive the best quality for your money and the best items for your budget.

get your interior designer on board as soon as possible

We always recommend bringing on an interior design upfront when you’re beginning a project - even at the planning stage. Creating a clear design vision from the outset will save you time, money, and quite a few headaches! 

trust your designer!

Remember why you engaged us - for our vision and ability to make that vision a reality. We think being a part of creating your home is a pretty special privilege - and one we take seriously. Rest assured that we’ll work as hard as we can to create a home you absolutely love.
