Luxury Interior Design
Our process from consultation to design
Luxury Interior Design
There is a significant difference between interior design and luxury interior design. For instance, Luxury interior design focuses on the client’s preferences, offering a unique and bespoke consultation rather than a standardised service or general advice.
The whole process is centered on our client’s vision of their home or Space. Working with an interior designer is an immersive, collaborative experience.At Design by Nickelloh Interiors, we aim to successfully create and cultivate a strong bond with our clients and we are extremely proud of this.The attention to detail becomes far more acute and the work required to execute the project is extensive to ensure the client’s requirements are fully interpreted and understood from all angles. Luxury interior design aims to create an interior that is reflective of the client’s taste and personality.This is where our experienced designers really shine; Our ability to skillfully combine our expertise with the clients’ vision, results in unique and exclusive finished looks.
Our Interior Design Process
Stage 1: Inspiration & Concept 1 hour detailed Consultation
Initially, we work with our clients to understand their preferences, personal style, inspiration and concepts.Once you get in touch with us, we will schedule a 1 hour consultation to understand more of what you want to create, as well as for you the client to learn more about our services and how we operate as a firmListening is vital, as we ensure our client’s aspirations are met in the design process. Once we have a clear understanding of the clients’ brief and budget we will present our design proposal for consideration.
Stage 2: Planning & Approval
Here we produce the spacial planning and gain approval. Once approved we can visualise the designs into reality. At this stage, we also look at colour palettes, preferred colour schemes together with finishes, fabrics and materials.
Stage 3: Budget & Timescale
Defining the budget is a vital part of our work and allows us to identify and offer suitable solutions.The timescale is unique to each project and is re-adjusted throughout the process when necessary, depending on the progress of each step.Giving your designer plenty of time to think through the details, achieves the best results.
Stage 4: Visuals
Initially, we will work with 2D floor plans and elevations to demonstrate our designs enabling our customers to fully appreciate we have understood and interpreted their vision before committing to the final approval. Once we are all on the same page and approval is given on the initial concepts and designs we prefer to produce high quality 3D full visual presentations. Please note not all our customers require this extra level of presentation (3D), as it is a seperate service. However, we do recommend it, as it helps the client to visualise the space more realistically.
Stage 5: Adjustments
Adjustments are necessary for an excellent result and forms part of the process. What might look like a small amendment can change the overall design partially or in full.
Stage 6: Procurement
This is one of the most important stages as everything is ordered. We thoroughly double check again whilst ordering each element with our manufacturers that the furniture, finishes, fabric details, sizes, technical and colour specification etc is analysed, scheduled and correctly purchased as per the approved design.
Stage 7: Project Management
This is the management of the various contractors and installation teams. The teams are synchronised and managed to ensure the work is carried out to the correct standard and specifications we require. This process starts within the procurement stage to the final installation of the finished project and finally with the handover to the client.
Stage 8: Installation
During the installation process, we have another chance to check all is as it should be. A well planned out itinerary of what goes where in what order is our bible and blueprint, regardless of where in the world the project is based.
Stage 9: Snagging
Whilst we are extremely keen on ensuring quality control consistently along the supply chain, we are aware of possible complications that need to be resolved before the practical completion of the project. We closely monitor the installation process for any issues that may have occurred during transit or installation. In the unlikely event of an issue at this stage, we identify and rectify mostly before our customer is even aware that any such issue exists.
