Lisa Elliott Interior Design

Collaboration is the cornerstone of exceptional design, especially when it comes to creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. At Lisa Elliott Interior Design, a boutique studio based in Melbourne, we understand the importance of working closely with our clients’ architects to bring their vision to life. Today, we’ll dive into a case study that highlights the power of collaboration and the unique expertise that Lisa Elliott brings to every project.

Engaging an Experienced Designer: The Comuniti Case

When Comuniti was tasked with designing luxury airline lounges for prestigious brands like Air New Zealand, American Express, My Lounge, and Plaza Premium in Australia, they knew they needed an experienced Senior Designer to elevate their vision. That’s where Lisa Elliott Interior Design came into play.

With over 25 years of experience in the industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project. My extensive background in designing airline lounges has honed my eye for detail and ability to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also function seamlessly.

Collaboration with Consultants and Engineers

A hallmark of my approach is experience in collaborating with consultants and engineers. Whether it’s coordinating with lighting specialists, HVAC consultants, or structural engineers, I ensure that every aspect of the design is meticulously planned and executed. This level of coordination ensures that the design aesthetic is harmoniously integrated with the services and structural engineering of the space, resulting in a cohesive and well-rounded design.

Why Collaboration Matters

1. Enhanced Design: Working with architects and builders allows us to consider structural elements, materials, and spatial planning from the outset, resulting in a more cohesive design.
2. Efficiency: Collaboration ensures that everyone is on the same page, reducing misunderstandings and streamlining the design and construction process.
3. Innovation: Bringing together different perspectives and areas of expertise leads to more creative and innovative solutions.
4. Client Satisfaction: By involving our clients’ architects and builders in the design process, we ensure that the final result aligns perfectly with our clients’ vision, needs, and lifestyle.

Get started planning your dream Salon with our 8-page Salon & Spa Questionnaire

A questionnaire can be a helpful tool when planning the interior design of your Salon or Day Spa; it allows you to consider all the important information about your preferences, needs, and vision for the space before you start talking to your interior designer. This information can then be used to guide the design process, ensuring that the final design meets your needs and expectations.

Additionally, a questionnaire can help the your interior designer to identify any constraints or limitations that may impact the design. For example, if you have a specific budget or timeline for the project, we can use this information to make informed decisions about materials, furnishings, and construction methods that will work within those parameters.

2. Identify potential challenges: The interior designer can help you identify potential challenges that may impact the design process, such as budget constraints, timeframes, or regulatory requirements. This can help you to plan and prepare for these challenges in advance.
3. Learn about the design process: The discovery call can provide an opportunity to learn more about the design process and what to expect when working with an interior designer. This can help you to feel more comfortable and confident throughout the project.

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.
