to undertake a large project on your own
You want something completely unique and
tailored to you, for the long-term
You’re happy to outsource the design,

lifting, the logistics, and detailed decisions to
a professional

refine the style, scope, timeline and budget

like “you” – elevated
How it Works
-
01 Getting to know you
At the Design Consultation we spend 2hrs at our office getting to know each other and the project requirements. If we’re a good fit, we meet again to present a fee proposal and concept boards to align with your vision.
-
02 Project Launch
Once we’ve decided to work together, the project begins! We get our ‘A Team’ of trades involved to introduce them to the project and get to work on creating an overall look and feel for your ‘new’ home.
-
03 Design
We work on all the elements of your project which involved structural works – the kitchen, bathrooms, floor planning and joinery. We have a meeting to present the design and costs.
-
04 Decoration
In this second phase of design work, we source and select all the furniture and soft furnishings. We have another meeting to present the design and costs.
-
05 Implementation
Where it all starts to take shape! Orders are placed, renovation works begin and we arrange an ‘install Week’ for all the furniture, artwork and accessories.
-
06 Project Wrap Up
We take care of any little issues, defects and damage, and end the project with all elements fully completed.
F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes we do!
What are the fees?
Interior design fee for full service design is a custom one based on your requirements. Payments are made in the following installments:
- 1st payment: Design Development fee (30%)
- 2nd payment: At the presentation of the design (30%)
- 3rd payment: At the presentation of the documentation (30%)
- Cost of goods and services paid in full
- Final payment: Effective completion (10%)
What happens if a meeting is missed?
We understand that changes can happen and if a meeting needs to be changed, give us 48hrs notice and we can rearrange. However, after that we will charge for an hour if the meeting was at our office and 2hrs if the meeting was at site. Cost is Ksh 10,000/hr
What are the project timelines?
The timelines can run between 12 to 18+ weeks from signing of the letter of agreement depending on the scope of works
What happens with a late payment?
A late payment will attract a penalty of 10%
In a Full Service Design project, we take your vision, dreams and goals for your home, and then do the heavy lifting to bring it all together on your behalf.
This is a “done for you” service, and your involvement can be minimal if you are happy to hand over the reigns entirely
If you’re after a service where you’re more involved in the nitty-gritty decision making and are happy to do the work to execute it all, you might be interested in a One-Off Consultation or Virtual Design services.
