THE DESIGN PROCESS
When you begin your project with Riches Interiors, we want to ensure that your renovation or refurbishment is as enjoyable as possible.
That's why we pride ourselves on creating a personal and professional experience for our clients, with communication being at the core of our values.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
STAGE 1
Initial Enquiry
How lovely to hear from you!
Once we receive your enquiry, we’ll always begin with an initial chat to better understand your project, budget, and what you’re hoping to achieve with a designer on board.
​
This getting-to-know-each-other phase is incredibly important, especially when you’re inviting us into your home. That first conversation is always so exciting for us. We love hearing about all the ideas and plans you have, and for you, it often feels like the very first step toward turning your dreams into reality.
STAGE 2
Design Concept
Let's build your schemes!
After our initial chat, your design package will be confirmed and we’ll begin working on your designs. The design concept phase is where we create mood boards and visuals, colour schemes, and initial layouts to give you an overall idea of your new plan.
​
If we’re working on a concept-only package, such as the Kickstarter, these documents are usually available within 2–3 weeks of our agreement, depending on how many rooms we’re working on.
​
For larger projects, we’ll create a bespoke timeline tailored to your project and get started on your initial schemes before we meet again to discuss the next phase.
This is such an exciting stage, as we get to have fun coming up with ideas together!
STAGE 3
Next Steps
What happens when the Design Concepts are ready?
What happens next depends on what’s included in our project agreement.
​
If we’re working together across multiple phases of your project, this is the stage where we review the initial concept designs and plan the next steps. This may include obtaining approvals from your architect or builders, seeking tenders, refining layout options, and completing detailed designs ready for the build phase.
​
If you’ve booked a concept-only package, such as the Kickstarter, we’ll review the designs together and finalise the overall scheme. Once you’re happy with the final designs, you’ll be able to take away your completed concept documentation and implement the design it in your own time.
​
Whichever package you’re following, we’ll be on hand to guide you and ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
