Furniture Design Service

The typical process for furniture design projects is as follows. We hope this gives you some insight into how we work, though of course we try to be as flexible as possible.

DESIGN BRIEF MEETING

We start with a meeting with one of our designers, typically taking between 1-2 hours. We charge a design fee of £150 per room for this service which is fully refundable against a purchase when you go ahead.

 

Information we will discuss at this meeting:

 

  • Your likes, dislikes and if you have one a wish list. We talk over feasibility at this early stage and the ways we can achieve what you want. We always endeavour to meet your goals but also present alternative suggestions to overcome challenges.
  • How you will use the room and the furniture.
  • The appliances, fittings and fixtures you are interested in.
  • A clear understanding of your budget so we can create the best design within this.
  • Whether you are looking for a turnkey solution using all our in-house expertise or prefer us to work with your chosen tradespeople.

 

At this meeting we undertake and provide:

 

  • A full room survey at the property.
  • Some initial ideas based on your wish list.
  • A guide price and estimated timescales based on initial information.
  • Suggested times for our next appointment.

DESIGN & QUOTATION PRESENTATION

At this meeting we present our initial design proposal. This is an ongoing process and some design re-draws may be necessary to achieve the perfect results. We also discuss our quotation. This usually takes place at our Skipton showroom so we can help you visualise your designs using examples in the showroom.

NEXT STEPS

  • When you go ahead, your order confirmation paperwork will detail a full schedule of works including delivery dates.
  • Your designs are available to take away with you.
  • Your furniture designer will project manage your work from start to finish.
  • Plumbing, electrical and lighting plans will be prepared.
  • Our interior designer will contact you and arrange meetings to work on the finer details including colours, handles and worktops.
  • Once your furniture is in production at the Skipton workshop, we send weekly photos of your furniture in progress. You will be invited to the workshop to see your furniture in production and meet with your cabinetmaker.
  • Your completed furniture is fitted and you receive a comprehensive handover from your furniture designer. This includes a care pack detailing suggested care guidelines and products to use.
  • After 12 months we return to carry out a complimentary furniture service.

INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICE

We exclusively offer our furniture clients, a complimentary in-house interior design service to assist with the finer details of your project. With extensive knowledge of the latest trends and collections, our interior designer interprets initial ideas and requirements into beautiful, inspiring and practical rooms.
