Introducing The 2.5hr Design Direction Consultation

We’ve put together a one-off 2.5hr Design Consultation Package that is perfect if you know you need design advice & direction, but aren’t ready to commit to a full design package. This service option is right for you if your premises is in need of a cosmetic refresh only & you are looking for interior design guidance.

Perfect for:

• Perfect for Salons (and also great for Small Offices).
• Great for salon renovations & new builds
• You know you need a change but don’t know where to start & need some direction.
• You’re not ready to commit to our “Can we Fit?” Sketchplan Package, Small Business Project Brief Workshop & Design Discovery Report, or The Salon Makeover Plan, or The Full Design Service. This consultation can be the prelude to our more comprehensive plans.
• It’s still early days in your decision making process.
• Tenancies up to 150 square metres in size maximum (contact us for larger spaces) 

Project Brief workshop & site investigation is approx 2.5 hr session that includes:

• A face-to-face Workshop to discuss your current set-up. Sometimes it’s helpful to address pros & cons; what works well, what could be done better or improved upon. Pinpoint key challenges you are having. This may include discussing the existing site & look at any furniture & equipment for reuse potential, or discussing new layout & design ideas with you.
• Lisa will conduct an Initial Site Survey of your tenancy. We’ll discuss your thoughts & aims regarding the space. You’ll need to have a good (reasonably accurate, to-scale, drafted) existing conditions plan available for us to work with BEFORE the consultation; contact us if this is not available

This Package is for Interior design services for salons & spa in Melbourne, Australia only.

The video below is an example of what we can discuss and start planning together on the day; this small salon plan we discussed and mud-mapped various ideas for different layouts, exploring different brief requirements to establish an idea of what may work best for the client, and provide design direction. We were able to explore 4 different layouts during the session

So, why Hire an Interior Designer?

Unfortunately many people get confused or intimidated by the idea of hiring a professional Interior Designer for their project, and might be concerned about the process of working with a designer & the costs of doing so.

A lot of people I meet feel that they can hire a builder and do the design themselves, selecting materials and fixtures in dribs and drabs, often at the last minute (leading to less choice) with poor planning & lack of an overall vision. This will lead increased costs due to changes, additions and variations that the builder will not have allowed for.

You will save money & time. Your designer will plan functional and appealing spaces, provide drawings, visualisations & material / furnishing selections in a strategic manner so you can get competitive quotes, and you know what the design will look like & cost right from the start.

You require a Qualified Interior Designer & Registered Building Practitioner for any commercial project or residential project that requires a building permit; a proper interior designer is a highly trained & experienced registered professional, not just someone with ‘a good eye for colour’ and a knack for picking furniture.
