FAQs
Beautiful joinery is pivotal in some interior schemes, so this is an area we’re reluctant to relinquish to others. Our recommendations for joinery embrace visual examples, plan layouts and concept sketches. Detailed workshop drawings are delegated only to those joinery firms we have no hesitation in recommending. Their skills, coupled with our guidance to defend our clients’ interests, guarantee results that always delight.
What should I expect when working with an interior designer?
Expect to be listened to, challenged and then presented with ideas and solutions that you will never have considered. Our design team create spaces that are as bespoke as you. Every project requires different solutions and with the breadth and depth of the interior design work that we undertake, we always strive for original and inspirational interiors.
What is included in interior design drawings?
Depending on the client, we will work up detailed working plan drawings and elevations. These inform our layouts and how the space will be used, our resulting furniture suggestions, lighting and heating requirements.
Further detailed drawings and sketches may also follow on for a kitchen design, bathrooms and bespoke joinery pieces. Our design might also include bespoke furniture and furnishings, often made in Devon. We can also provide CGI and 3D visualisation walkthroughs if needed.
What happens at the first consultation with an interior design consultant?
A first meeting might be an opportunity to visit our design studio in Ashburton, Devon. Here you can meet the design team, enjoy spending time in our interior studio base that houses an incredible wallpaper and fabric library. Our studio displays the eclectic nature of our work from made to measure pieces, through to antique finds, lighting examples and much more. Our designers can also show you examples of the work taken on by our consultancy. The residential projects include country houses, luxury coastal apartments, family homes, cottages, cabin retreats and more. Whilst commercial examples include hotels, spas, a dental practice, a nail bar, offices and more. Following on from this we would normally visit you at home or at your business to take a full working brief.
How does an interior designer work?
We are often employed alongside an architect as part of the client’s design team. As a project progresses we find ourselves liaising with contractors and are totally at ease working in this way. Whether an electrician, decorator, carpenter or plumber, we supply inspiration and solutions to keep projects moving along.
Where do you work geographically?
Although based in Ashburton, Devon, we find ourselves invited to work all over the county and further afield! From South Devon, we are well placed to cover the entire county and the South West region, to include our neighbouring counties of Cornwall and Somerset. We continue to work further afield in London, Yorkshire and The Lake District and have also worked in Switzerland, Spain and Barbados.
