Building Your Dream Home? Here’s How We Can Help
Creating your dream home involves making countless decisions, and time is crucial. With so many choices available, the process can quickly become overwhelming. What if you don’t fully understand the drawings? Do you know exactly what you’re signing off on?
That’s where we come in. At Lathika Nair Design, we guide you from the planning stage to finalising your interiors, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.
Our Services Include:
- Review and Design: As you will have plans from your builder, this stage includes discussion to understand your requirements and review your plans, drawings. Design modifications can be made if required and a concept sketch will be issued which can be taken to your builder for further action and can be discussed.
- Additional Drawings: Additional Design Details can be provided if required.
- Colour Consultation: I can accompany you for your colour consultation and assist with colour selection at the Gallery.
- Electrical Consultation: Electrical layout can be reviewed based on the modifications made and I can accompany you for your consultation and assist with finalising fittings.
- Concept Design: Considering we will finalise furniture layout at the initial stage we move into concept design for each room. Each item will be discussed and finalised.
- Mood Board Presentation (Virtual): This stage gives an idea of the look and feel of the room with images of furniture, décor and colour palette. Presentations and concept drawings will be submitted and discussed to finalise the scheme.
- Final Design: This stage includes final design for your home interiors. This stage includes drawings and details like window treatment, wall treatment if any, furniture, soft furnishings, light fittings, rugs, floral arrangements, art and accessories. Everything required to complete the room and style will be finalised.
- 3D Render: A basic sketch up view for the design space can be provided if required. It gives an idea of space and helps to visualise it better being a 3D view.
- Site Inspection: Site visit can be planned to depend on the situation, on site measurements and further discussions if required can be done on the actual site.
- Project Management/Styling (optional): Based on the final design and items selected I will assist you with sourcing items, arranging trades to get the room furnished, accessorised and styled.
Build a new house, they said, it will be fun, they said, have it exactly as you want.
The problem is now you have a bazillion choices, and the builder wanted answers yesterday. Plus, everyone from the postie to your hairdresser to your mother-in-law has opinions.
Options + Opinions = Overwhelm (not a super cute look for your new primary bedroom).
That is where Lathika Nair Design steps in; we work WITH you to create a space you easily inhabit. It is a space that houses you and your family, your cosy home with that little bit of ‘you’ that makes it unique.
And you can let all those other opinions slide off you as you and your designer work together (or you can leave it all up to us and throw us under the bus when it doesn’t work out 😉) to pull together a home that loves you back.
