The Interior Design Process
Each interior design project starts with an in-depth brief where the studio gathers information about the customer, including their needs and preferences. During this stage, the studio learns the nuances of the project, such as scale, budget, and timelines.
Katie Malik Interiors will then come up with a design concept based on the information collected during the brief. The design concept is supported by revised lighting layouts, proposed fabrics, furniture, sketches, and materials. The studio provides the client with a booklet that has been carefully collated, which they can refer to during the course of the project.
The next step is the Developed Design stage. It involves a more detailed design with revised layouts, furniture, and joinery plans as well as the final finishes. The studio avails photorealistic imagery and 3D models to help the client visualize the end result. They help the clients see what their spaces are going to look and feel.
The final step is the installation. This follows the final sign-off, and Katie Malik Interiors prepares a schedule of works to install the design in the home. The studio project coordinates the entire design. They produce the drawings for tender and construction.
If a client wishes, they can delegate sourcing of fittings, furniture, and finishes to Katie Malik Interiors. The studio will coordinate deliveries to the project site and manage the installations to ensure the integrity of the interior design is maintained throughout.
