Your designer will consult closely with you on what you want to achieve, the styles you like and your budget. Based on that, they will usually put together a "conceptual mood board" for each room, showing samples of paint colours, fabrics, wallpapers and flooring and photos or drawings of lighting, furniture and other items.

Detailed planning of each room at this stage really helps tie together your overall design and create a much better outcome.

Remember: Using an Interior Designer from the start of a project can prevent you making costly mistakes, saving you time and money.
