This Is How We Do It:
1. Initial consultation:
We start with a chat either by phone or over coffee to gain an understanding of what you're after. Following this, most clients go on to book an onsite meeting of up to 90 mins to fully understand the scope of the work. I'll answer any questions you have and get a good idea about your preferred design. It's a good idea to let us know your budget at this point.
2. Concept:
After our meeting, I get to work defining your style providing you with a detailed vision board of the direction we're heading in and visual renders. When you're happy with the overall look and design, we move onto the next stage.
3. Source:
I can hunt down the pieces required for your scheme to come to life and provide you with samples and a cost break down of the selection. Quotes from the various trades can also be requested at this point. Once these are all approved by you I place the orders and keep a track of time lines and deliveries updating you along the way.
4. Install:
Trades are appointed and site work begins. I will liaise and with you and the tradies, helping to reduce decision fatigue from setting in!
5: Style
This is where it all comes together. The works are completed, the furniture has been delivered and now it's time for me to come and style it so that it looks just as you imagined and it feels like home!
I'm a little bit different, here's why...
I'll be honest, there are a number of interior designers out there, but I think you'll appreciate the key distinctions that set Home Shaper Interior Design ahead of the rest:
1. Let's do you
I don't believe in pushing a certain look or trend on you. I get to know you and find out the design aesthetic you're most drawn to. Then I provide a consistent and cohesive scheme that reflects it.
2. Trusted trades and suppliers
I specialise in what I do, which means I call on our trusted contractors and suppliers when I can't provide the answers. Let me connect you to the best in the business to ensure your project runs smoothly and the results are everything you hoped for.
3. Little bonuses that add up
I have established relationships with a number of suppliers around NZ so we can source pieces that you won't always find in stores and any discounts that we receive, we share them with you! As an independent designer, it means I'm not going to push one particular retailer with inhouse services on you either.
4. I'm friendly and experienced
I believe in good old fashioned manners and treating everyone equally regardless of budget spend. Communication is key and I won't assume anything. I'll keep you informed and be as prompt as I can answering any questions. Having worked in interior design and project management roles for years, I know what it takes to juggle the competing demands when working on multiple projects.
5. My fees - without the smoke and mirrors
I'm honest about the fee structure and like my services I can tailor them to your needs.
I'll provide you with an estimate of my fees for my part of your job and if it looks like more time is required than initially thought then I'll let you know in advance and discuss this with you.
