Design Discovery

Before we design a single room, we want to understand your life.

The best interiors aren't imposed — they're uncovered. This questionnaire is how we begin listening. Answer as much or as little as you like; honesty matters more than completeness, and there are no wrong answers.

Section 01

Introductions first

So we know who we're designing for, and how to reach you.

Please tell us your name.

We need a valid email to send your proposal.

Preferred way to communicate during the project
Section 02

Who calls this space home?

A home for two entertainers and a home for a family of five with a golden retriever are different design problems. Tell us about everyone — on two legs or four.

Who lives in the home?
Any pets?

Allergies, mobility or accessibility needs, a left-handed cook, a light sleeper — the small truths that shape good design.

Section 03

The property itself

The bones we'll be working with.

Please choose a property type.

Which spaces are in scope?

Select every room you'd like us to touch — even the "maybe later" ones.

What kind of work do you anticipate?
Section 04

How you actually live

Not how you think you should live — how a Tuesday evening really looks. This section shapes everything.

Which of these happen regularly in your home?
How formal should your home feel?
Barefoot & relaxedPolished & formal
And how much storage do you honestly need?
We travel lightWe keep everything

Morning coffee spot, where the family lands in the evening, where guests gravitate. The unglamorous details are gold.

Section 05

Your taste, in your own words

Don't worry about using the "right" design vocabulary. Loves and hates are equally useful — sometimes the hates more so.

Which of these directions pull at you?
Materials and textures you're drawn to
How do you feel about colour?

A colour, a hotel lobby, your grandmother's cabinet — anything.

Deal-breakers help us more than you'd think.

Heirlooms, art, that sofa you'll never part with.

Section 06

Show us what moves you

Images say what words can't. Point us to anything you've been saving.

A hotel, a restaurant, a friend's home, a lodge in the Mara. What was it about that space?

Already have inspiration photos on your phone? You can upload them directly in your client portal once you've created a profile — we'll pin them to your project.

Section 07

Investment & timing

An honest range lets us design something we can actually deliver — and tell you early if ambitions and budget need a conversation. This stays confidential.

Overall budget range (furnishings, finishes & fees) *

Please choose a range — "I'd rather discuss it" counts too.

Where would you happily splurge?

Pick up to three — this tells us where quality matters most to you.

A wedding, a move-in date, hosting for the holidays.

A partner, a parent, a business partner — we like to know whose "yes" matters.

Section 08

In your own words

The last section is the most open — and often the most revealing.

Budget creep, timelines, past experiences with contractors — naming it helps us protect against it.

Received with thanks

We're already reading.
