1st design meeting or appointment for decoration advice

The purpose of a design consultation is to meet you in person to learn about your project, your tastes and your budget. You will talk about your style preferences and your inspiration. We will determine together the starting point of the concept of the design project. Dorlaie Design will take measures, discuss any technical constraints, and give you its first planning and decoration advice.

The design consultation can be a one off appointment for decoration advice or the initial phase of a full bespoke interior design service.

Concept study

Following our first meeting, Dorlaie Design will undertake an in-depth study of your project. This study is intended to present the project as a whole and to estimate the overall budget. 

This phase consists of two stages:

  • presentation of design concept and analysis, creation of rendered plans and elevations for approval, several layout proposals and mood boards;

  • presentation of technical elements necessary for the implementation of the project: the choice of materials and equipment (including furniture and decorative accessories), detailed site plans, a precise description of works to be completed and a detailed budget estimate.
