FULL DESIGN SERVICE
YOUR VISION - EFFORTLESSLY DELIVERED
You have a project. Whether it is a massive undertaking or a few design updates, every project starts with your vision, followed by setting a realistic budget, a cohesive and coordinated design, overseeing delivery of services, sourcing materials and furnishings, managing a tight schedule, some serious attention to detail, and a good amount of patience.
​
Our FULL DESIGN SERVICE brings all of this together into one easy to swallow pill.
Let's be clear. You're the boss. You set the vision, and we will get to work coming up with ideas to create a design that resonates with your preferences. Once everything is agreed, you can go back to focusing on your life, and we will oversee every aspect of turning your vision and our creativity into reality.
Maximise the Budget
Every project has a budget, and we will work with you to make it realistic and ensure that we stay firmly within it. Our priority - spend where you get the greatest impact towards your vision. Believe me, it will be money well spent.
Fantastic Tradespeople
We work with the best, most talented and reliable tradespeople, hands down. Over the years we've developed long-standing relationships where our partners know exactly what we want, precisely how to do it, and most importantly, how to keep everyone happy.
Materials and Furnishings
Our philosophy... If you already have it, let's try to use it. In the right setting, almost anything can look great. For new furnishings and materials, we'll present options that match your style. If there's something you've found and just can't live without, we'll find a way to make it work.
Design Development
We take your vision, add our creativity, and work with you to create a beautifully coordinated design. Whether you prefer a hands-on approach or wish to be delightfully surprised, you decide just how much you want to be involved.
Project Management
When it's time for action, we've got it all under control. We organise every aspect of the project and ensure that it's delivered flawlessly. We'll set a tight schedule and make sure to stick to it. Now, this is not our first time at the rodeo, so we always have a Plan B, C & D ready to go if needed.
Our Process, In Detail
With pretty much every project, there are a certain set of steps we generally try to follow. If you're ready to dive into the details, just click the button below.
SEMI-CUSTOM CABINETRY
INGENIOUS CREATIVITY + OFF THE SHELF COMPONENTS
Reality check - kitchens are expensive. A high-end custom kitchen? You're looking at a small fortune. The alternative - a "big box store" kitchen? Well that doesn't leave much for the imagination, does it? Fortunately, we have your solution - something on the design scale much closer to a custom kitchen for a price on the scale much closer to the "big box store".
Welcome to the world of SEMI-CUSTOM CABINETRY. Think about it like a set of building blocks, but for grown adults. With enough creativity, you can make just about anything - whether it's a kitchen with a punch of personality, a luxurious walk-in wardrobe, smart storage space or a built-in bookcase. We use readily available, off-the-shelf components as the building blocks and pair them with high-end appliances, fittings and finished surfaces to create designs that truly impress.
​
Now, make no mistake. If you have a small fortune (or a large one for that fact), we can get you the custom kitchen of your dreams. That's easy. It's funny how money works. But if you need to stretch the budget a bit further, or you are renting an apartment and know you deserve something special, well that requires a lot of creativity. Oh, and we certainly have a lot of creativity.
DESIGN THERAPY
OUR EXPERTISE - YOURS TO TAKE AS YOU NEED
So, you have your own project. You know what you want, and you have the time to organise and manage it yourself. But with any project, it's always nice to have someone to discuss your ideas with or provide you with experienced advice. There are a lot of parts that need to come together, and it can be a daunting experience - questioning every decision. Hiring the wrong workers, relying on low-ball estimates, choosing the wrong colour. Mistakes can be costly. All of this takes some imagination, an understanding of design, a bit of experience and a certain amount of creativity - just to name a few! Even if you have what it takes, a second opinion never hurts.
For piece of mind, there's DESIGN THERAPY. Some solid design advice, along with a healthy dose of "been there, done that" first-hand experience, can make all the difference between a nightmare and a truly enjoyable and productive experience. We're there to guide you, in whatever capacity is required, to allow you to achieve the best outcome and most the cohesive design for your project.
​
Our help is available as you need it, when you need it - whether in-person at your home or office, or online. Just think of it as a form of therapy, because when we're finished, you're going to feel a lot better.
​
Oh, and did you know? Design Therapy also makes a truly unique and personable gift - just in case you're looking for something... extraordinary.
