The Initial meeting will take approximately 1.5 hours. This time is spent getting to know you, and your requirements, budget and timeline.  You will be asked a number of relevant questions, notes and photos will be taken of your existing furniture and space.  From this meeting a list of tasks and actions we anticipate  will be needed to complete your project will be drawn up and sent to you.

An inspiration mood board will be created for your space. This is a Digital mood board that will help you decide upon the overall scheme, giving you examples of how your space can look including colour combinations, wallpapers, fabrics, lighting, and possible furniture selections from the feedback from the initial meeting.   You may at this stage, choose to take the mood board and implement the design on your own at your own pace.
