Our modern calm design approach combines contemporary aesthetics with serene elements to create spaces that feel both fresh and peaceful. We focus on clean lines, thoughtful space planning, neutral color palettes with strategic accents, and a mix of textures that add visual interest without overwhelming the senses. We incorporate natural materials and biophilic elements to strengthen the connection to nature, which research shows improves wellbeing. The result is a space that feels current yet timeless, sophisticated yet comfortable—a true sanctuary from the hectic outside world.

Our design fees vary based on project scope, complexity, and service level required. We offer several service tiers to accommodate different budgets, from one-time consultations to comprehensive design and project management. For full-service interior design, we typically charge a flat design fee based on square footage and project requirements, plus a procurement fee for items purchased through our studio. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your budget constraints and design goals to determine the most appropriate service option for your needs. We believe in complete transparency and will provide a detailed proposal before any work begins.

Project timelines vary significantly based on scope and complexity. A single room redesign might take 2-3 months from concept to completion, while a whole-home project typically requires 6-12 months. Commercial projects often range from 3-18 months depending on size and requirements. These timelines include the design phase (concept development, space planning, material selection), procurement phase (ordering furniture and materials), and implementation phase (renovations, installations, and styling). External factors like custom furniture lead times, contractor availability, and permit approvals can impact the schedule. We provide detailed timeline estimates at the beginning of each project and keep you updated on progress throughout.

Absolutely! We believe in thoughtful consumption and often incorporate existing pieces that have personal significance or align with our design vision. During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate your current furnishings and discuss which items could be repurposed, perhaps with modifications like reupholstering or refinishing. We excel at blending new and existing elements to create a cohesive look that feels collected over time rather than purchased all at once. This approach not only honors your personal history but also supports sustainability by extending the lifecycle of quality pieces. Our goal is to create a space that feels authentically yours, not a showroom replica.

We primarily serve the greater Sydney metropolitan area, including the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Inner West, and Northern Beaches. For larger projects, we also work throughout New South Wales and can consider select interstate projects. For clients further afield, we offer virtual design services that combine video consultations with detailed digital deliverables. These remote services maintain our collaborative approach while accommodating geographic constraints. International clients interested in our design aesthetic can inquire about our e-design packages, which provide comprehensive guidance that can be implemented locally with your own contractors and resources.

Client involvement varies based on your preference and availability. Some clients enjoy being actively engaged throughout the process, reviewing options and providing regular feedback, while others prefer to approve major concepts and leave the details to our expertise. At minimum, we require your participation in the initial consultation, concept approval, and key decision points. We've structured our process to make your involvement as efficient as possible, with curated presentations that simplify decision-making without overwhelming you with options. Our goal is to create a collaborative relationship that respects your time while ensuring the final design truly reflects your lifestyle and preferences.
