This is where we delve into your vision, needs and preferences. We discuss and explore the way you live, your functional requirements and aesthetic tastes, ensuring that what we design aligns with your expectations. Timelines and budgets are discussed. This collaborative discussion will set the foundation for a tailored outcome. Studio Smith loves the unique approach every client brings to the table. This is supposed to be fun!

Before diving into design, we conduct thorough research and gather inspiration. Reference imagery and mood boards will help us guide you towards a look and feel we think could suit and excite you. The studio will measure, photograph and assess all the existing conditions in your space.

Based on your initial feedback, this is where we develop a cohesive plan. Yum! Technical drawings are developed, hard and soft materials are selected, and furniture and fittings are sourced. Once complete, we will present you our design solutions. Audience participation welcomed! It’s our aim to create a space that looks and feels like you.

With design and materials finalized, we enter the execution phase. We collaborate with architects, contractors and artisans to implement the design plan. This phase of the project is where we make site visits and oversee custom workshops should need be. We are sticklers for detail! We undertake all purchasing of furniture, lighting, soft furnishings, art and accessories within our scope.

The final phase and best part!

All your furnishings will be arranged, lighting and accessories will be styled, art will be hung and your space will be all yours for you to enjoy and share.
