considering hiring an interior designer? / by Cloth + Stone Designs

Here's how Cloth + Stone's full-service process actually works, from design to move-in.

setting the scene

For many of our clients, engaging an interior designer is an exciting step but comes with lots of questions. What comes next? How involved will I need to be ? Etc etc

We specialise in taking the pressure off. Our full-service approach means we manage the details, the decisions and the implementation so that our clients don’t have to.

Beautiful interiors don't start with a moodboard. They start with questions. And not just “What style do you like?” or “What colours are you drawn to?”

We want to understand how you actually live in your home — the little habits, frustrations, routines and rituals that make your home yours. The smallest detail can completely change the way we design a room.

Renovating or furnishing a home involves hundreds of decisions, deadlines and trades which is on top of everything else you already manage eg job, family, pets etc. We are here to help you navitage this.

Design Comes First — But It's Grounded in Practicality

As well as making your home look beautiful, we plan how your home will function.

You should expect to receive detailed floor plans, furniture layouts, joinery design and finishes which are all designed around how you live.

And alongside that, we provide curated selections of materials and finishes that work together — saving you time and stress.

The Right Team

If you’re building or renovating, we help you tender to the right builders or trades team which may be a trusted contractor known to us or your preferred trades.

And because you’ll have a fully documented, scope the builders can quote accurately and not base their pricing on the most entry level finishes causing a shock when the actual ones are chosen.

We are able to speak their language and make sure the design intent is carried through in the build.

Orders, Deliveries and Lead Times — ALL Handled

We manage the procurement process from start to finish — ordering, confirming, tracking and troubleshooting. So you won’t be chasing suppliers or wondering if the dining table will arrive before move in date.

As part of our full service, you can expect clear timelines and a structured resolution capability.

Coordination of Trades, Schedules and the Site

If you’ve ever organised a renovation yourself, you know how hard it is to line up trades and keep things moving.

We take care of this for you, liaising with builders, joiners, electricians, curtain makers and many more.

Our involvement keeps things on track and ensures every detail is implemented exactly as designed.

Final word…. when we provide a full-service, the process becomes clear, guided and genuinely enjoyable. Plus you get a home that feels right for you !!
