Professional Interior Designers are trained and/or have experience in a range of projects and offer those skills to work with you on your brief, concept and ultimately the execution of your project.  A professional Interior Designer is a very good listener - they interpret your brief and work with you to execute your project.  A professional Interior Designer does not just "impose" their style on you - style is driven by the individual client's personality and needs.

Interior Design is a multi-faceted discipline incorporating:

Design - the base design of the interior of your home from determining the spacial layout and flow; the hard fit-out including flooring, lighting and kitchen & bathroom design.

Decoration - the "soft" elements of design that deliver a coherent scheme including colour, wall coverings, furnishings, art and furniture selection and placement.

Project Management - The discipline to manage a project from initial design to final implementation to deliver on time and within agreed budget.
