The Interior Design Project, From First Call to Installation

Interior design is often presented through its most photogenic moments.

• The moodboard.
• The material samples.
• The render.
• The finished room.

What clients don’t necessarily see is the enormous process connecting those moments.

Every studio works differently, and project scope varies enormously, but a full interior design project generally moves through a surprisingly consistent series of stages.

Here’s the bigger picture.

1. Enquiry and qualification

Before anything is designed, the studio needs to understand whether the project is the right fit.

• Where is it?
• What is being designed?
• What stage is the property currently in?
• What is the expected budget?
• What services does the client need?
• What is the desired timeline

This stage isn’t only about winning a project.
