Design service
Full-home interior design
One design for every room, so the layout, materials, lighting and furniture work together from the front door to the last bedroom. You get a clear plan you can build, buy and furnish from.
What does a full-home interior design service include?
A full-home service plans every room as one project. It starts with your brief and a measured survey, moves through concepts and design development, and ends with 3D visuals, dimensioned drawings, a finishes and lighting plan, and a bill of materials you can price, order from and hand to your builder.
What it covers
- A brief covering how you live, what to keep, priorities and constraints across the whole home
- A measured survey or a check of your existing plans, recorded as an accurate floor plan
- Layout and space planning for every room, including circulation and storage
- A consistent scheme of colours, floor finishes, wall finishes and joinery details
- Lighting planned in layers for each room, shown on lighting plans
- Furniture selection and placement, with existing pieces you want to keep
What you receive
- Real-time 3D visuals, stills and a 360° tour of the design
- Dimensioned floor plans for each level
- Furniture, flooring and lighting plans
- Interior elevations of key walls
- Door, window and room schedules
- A bill of materials and quote produced with Arcvelle Studio
Suits you if
- People moving into a new home who want every room planned together
- Renovations where walls, floors and lighting are changing across several rooms
- Owners who want one consistent style rather than room-by-room decisions
Process
How the project runs
Step 1: Brief
We talk through how you use your home, what is not working, what you want to keep and the budget you have in mind.
Step 2: Measure and survey
We measure the home or work from your existing drawings and build an accurate plan of every level.
Step 3: Concepts
We present layout options and a design direction for the whole home, with mood boards and early 3D views.
Step 4: Development
The chosen direction is refined room by room: finishes, lighting, joinery and furniture are fixed and checked against the plan.
Step 5: Drawings and specification
We produce the drawings set, schedules and a bill of materials so builders and suppliers can price the same design.
Step 6: Handover
You receive the final files, the 3D presentation and a walk-through of the package so you know how to use it.
Questions
How much does full-home interior design cost?
Fees depend on the size of the home, the number of rooms and how much detail you need, so we set them per project after the brief. Send an enquiry with a short description and we will explain the options.
How long does a full-home project take?
It varies with the size of the home, the scope and how quickly decisions are made. We agree a programme with you after the brief, once we know what the project involves.
Do you manage the building work?
The service covers the design and the information needed to build it: drawings, schedules and a bill of materials. Whether further involvement during the works is possible is discussed per project after the brief.
Can I keep some of my existing furniture?
Yes. Tell us which pieces matter to you in the brief. We measure them, add them to the plan and design around them.
Can I see and change the design myself?
The design is built in Arcvelle Studio, so you can view it in 3D and walk through it. We can share the project file so you can explore it in your own browser.
