Full Service INTERIOR DESIGN
We design homes for people who need someone to take the reins and make their dreams a reality. So sit back, relax and get ready to have that moment of wonder and awe when you finally walk into your new space, designed by FORM.
Whether it be your whole home or room-by-room, we take the reins from the initial concept through to installation and transform your home into a fully designed, beautifully considered interior that feels complete from the moment you open your front door.
We deep dive into your design vision and how you want your home feel, look and work for your lifestyle. We then develop your design and outline every detail into a perfect curated scheme ready for you to press the green button. Finally, we align all aspects of procurement, working alongside contractors to ensure that vision is implemented perfectly, and install the finishing touches, to create a home ready to have that dinner party, family weekend or holiday drinks you’ve been waiting years to arrange.
Every home is different, so our fees are tailored to each project, based on property size, specification and what you'd like to achieve. Book a discovery call and we'll chat through your ideas and see if we're the right fit.
We can’t wait to hear all about your dream home.
The Process
A considered, structured approach where every detail – from space planning to materials, finishes and furnishings – is carefully developed to ensure a cohesive and beautifully curated interior.
Stage 01
Getting to Know YOU & YOUr Home
Every project begins with an on-site, in-depth meeting to get to you know you, your vision and how you want your home to work.
We deep dive into how you live and what you’re drawn to. We’ll walk through your space, measure up, review any existing plans, mood boards and ideas you already have to fully understand your vision. Following this initial meeting, we’ll outline all design fees, which cover all aspects of the work required to deliver your home, finished and ready for you to move back into.
Please note: We take a fee for this initial meeting which is deductible from the overall design fee once you proceed with us. We charge £700 for whole home projects and £350 for room-by-room projects.
Stage 02
EXPLORING YOUR Vision
Here is where the dreams you’ve had for years start to come together into a mood board that has clarity and direction. This the collaborative stage (and the most fun), where ideas are tested, refined, and sometimes pushed a little further - all to build a scheme that feels true to you and full of personality.
We explore layouts, colour palettes, materials, joinery ideas and overall product style to come to one key direction for how your home will work and look.
Nothing is set in stone just yet. At this stage you will be presented with a design document in person, outlining our ideas with accompanying suggestions for finishes and materials.
Stage 03
Shaping & FINALISING YOUR DESIGN
This is where things start to get really exciting. At this stage, your design is developed into a fully detailed and specified scheme, where every element is carefully selected to ensure the design works as a cohesive whole. This is where you can expect:
A finalised scheme and quote for all furnishings, materials, window treatments, decoration, lighting and accessories to be installed by FORM.
Any plans, material specifications and 2D elevations required for contractors to carry out their work, including any joinery, decoration, lighting and bathroom or kitchen plans.
Reviewing of contractors’ designs to ensure the design intent is executed as envisioned. This includes aspects like kitchen and bathroom designs, joinery plans and trades’ schedule of works to ensure it all works to your desired completion date.
A finalised timeline for your project, which will depend on the size of your space and the complexity of the design and works involved.
Stage 04
Bringing Your Home to Life
We remain closely involved during all stages of your project to ensure a completed home, ready for you to move into and enjoy.
We work alongside your appointed contractors, to ensure the design intent is understood and executed as envisaged.
We coordinate the ordering, delivery and installation of all aspects from furniture, lighting and accessories, decoration to window treatments that FORM have sourced, supporting a smooth transition ready for you to move in.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you’re starting afresh or renovating, and want to work with someone who’ll help you embrace colour, pattern and texture, then – yes! However, we totally understand that hiring an interior designer is an investment you won’t want to take lightly. If you’re still on the fence, you can book a free discovery call with Alice to go over your project and see what we can do for you.
-
We find that working with an interior designer saves you money in two key ways:
1) We specify products from high-quality trade suppliers so the price you pay will always be equal to or below the price for a comparable retail product.
2) Our in-depth approach ensures your lifestyle and vision is considered from the get-go, so you won’t be out looking for alternatives.
-
If you require our services where we handle the ordering and minimal contractor work is involved (such as decoration, small amount of electrical work and joinery) we’d recommend starting our work together at a minimum of 12 weeks before you’d like to move in. This gives us time to really nail your scheme and then juggle the lead times for the products we’re ordering, with a little “just in case” wiggle room worked in too.
Any projects that requires larger contractual work (such as a new bathroom, kitchen, flooring etc.) will require a longer lead time, with the exact amount depending on what it is you’re having done and the suppliers you choose to specify.
In any case, please do get in touch as soon as you can, as we’re often booked up in advance!
-
Each design we do is unique to the individual and so our design fees naturally reflect this.
-
We work best with a completely blank canvas, where we source all the products for you. However, we totally get that you may have a key piece that holds a lot of sentimental value, in which case we can absolutely work that into your scheme. We only ask that you provide us with photos and measurements of any existing pieces you’d like us to work with during your initial consultation.
-
Yes, our process is very hands-on! We would have multiple in-person meetings before the project is signed off, complete with paint and fabric samples so you can see and feel what you’re getting before anything is ordered. Any contractor work would be checked on to ensure the execution is done to the highest standard and the design vision is installed correctly. The install of all items being supplied by FORM would then be carried out by an expert team with Alice present to make sure everything goes smoothly.
-
Yes – we have a number of contractors and architects we can introduce you to, should your project require it.
We can remain closely involved during all stages of your project, liaising with your appointed contractors, to ensure the design intent is understood and installed out as envisaged.
Please note, while we can work alongside and help keep your project on track with the many spinning plates, you will have direct contracts with each contractor, and pay them directly for the work carried out.
