Our comprehensive step-by-step process lets you understand all the stages that are involved in end-to-end interior designing and execution.

STEP 1: CHECK OUR PORTFOLIO
DONE BY: CLIENT
-
Getting a dream space is not just about furnishing your home, but it is also about how the whole place is optimized and how the overall design and color of the space make you feel.
-
If you think such a design is important to you, and you decide to hire a professional to do that for you, it is imperative to understand how much your designer’s design philosophy resonates with your own.
-
To check this, you can go through our Portfolio/Recent Work to decide about the compatibility and if it seems compatible, you can go ahead and get in touch with us for further discussion.
STEP 2: GET IN TOUCH

While there are a number of ways you can get connected to us, we highly recommend you start by filling up a small ‘ENQUIRY FORM’ on our website to start a formal dialogue regarding your query.

Once you fill-up the form, you will immediately receive an email for your next action plan with the contact details of the relevant person, along with some important links to our website such as our portfolio, services, and useful blogs.

STEP 4: BLOCK ESTIMATE
DONE BY: US
-
As per your functional and design requirements discussed in the meeting, your designer arrives at a specific per square feet cost to calculate your block estimate. This per square feet cost is calculated on the basis of the designer’s own level of expertise, previous experience, and the prevailing market rates at that time. Once this rate per square feet is arrived at, it is multiplied by the total carpet area of your space to get the block estimate.
