Some might think hiring an interior designer is a waste of money. However, getting in touch with an expert has many advantages.

Interior designers not only have an eye to find the right colour scheme and furniture for your home but they are trained to create more thoughtful, more practical spaces.

With their help, you can easily increase the property value by maximising the layout and refurbish your home to a higher finish. Our interior design team follows seven steps to get the most out of a client’s home.

1. Getting to know you

Our first step is getting to know you and how you live, so the design answers that rather than a template. This includes an initial site visit by our founder, Nick Jeffries, and one of the designers, where we discuss the overview of the upcoming project. Next, our team will suggest an interior design package that suits your project the most.

2. Concept

We will provide you with a complete presentation of our concept, ideas, colour scheme, images, floor plans, fabrics and finishes etc. We also offer high-resolution CGI renders to give a clear picture of what your home will look like. At this point, we will provide a realistic estimate of costs, timeline and breakdown of this.

3. Cost

After deciding on the interior design package, we provide our clients with detailed costs sheets, expected delivery and installation dates and a thorough execution plan.

4. Bespoke furniture

With an in-house design studio in West London, we also make bespoke furniture, which shortens the lead times and means a piece fits the room it was drawn for.

5. Artwork

Artwork sets the mood of a room, and it is usually the last thing anybody thinks about. NU Projects works with local West London artists, so the art is chosen alongside the design rather than after it.

We can source artwork for your home, whether you want something contemporary, pop art or classical, and we place it in the scheme rather than hanging it at the end.

6. How involved you are

You can be as involved in the decisions as you want to be. Some clients want to sign off every fabric. Others want a turnkey handover. Either is fine, and the contract records which one you have chosen.

7. Handover

The work is inspected, snagged and handed over with the operating information for anything that needs it. NU Projects is in Fulham, and the same team is still there after handover if something needs attention.

If you are looking for a design and build contractor in West London, tell us about your home. We cover the architecture, the interior design and the construction under one contract.

Takeaways:

  1. We get to know you and your lifestyle to provide the right service.
  2. We will provide you with a thorough presentation of our ideas and mood boards, including high-resolution 3D renders.
  3. We will provide our clients with a detailed cost sheet.
  4. In our West London studio, we can create bespoke furniture pieces.
  5. We work with local artists, so the art is chosen with the scheme.
  6. You decide how involved you are, and the contract records it.
  7. The same team is there after handover.
