How an Interior Design Company Really Works

Economising and Staying on Budget
Another question that is sometimes asked by clients of our London-based interior design company is "where can I cut corners to economise on this design and its implementation costs?" Our response in general is that cutting corners is almost never a good idea! Our London-based interior design company is known for our insistence on no-compromise excellence in design and craftsmanship. We do encourage some clients, however, to limit non-essential features if their budget cannot readily be increased. For example, we sometimes encourage clients not to buy something they don't absolutely need or don't perfectly love.


Catering to Client Needs, Not to Profits
Knowing how to give splendid advice to clients is one of the hallmarks of a superior interior design company. At our London-based interior design studio, Global Interior Design, we always ask about the intention of a given project and we tune our efforts and focus accordingly. For example, if one of our London clients is only looking for "design to sell" services to quickly get their third home on the market, it would be inappropriate for us to suggest an expensive, lengthy and highly comprehensive renovation programme. In such cases, our interior design company may simply recommend a focus on kitchen and bathroom upgrades, together with some fresh floor finishes, wall repainting, and perhaps a couple of lighting improvements.


Colour at the Centre of Every Home
Understanding colour is a crucial part of any interior designer's basic training. There is so much to learn. At our London-based interior design company, we specialise in translating that quality education into clear, understandable learnings and recommendations for our clients. The number one rule to colour is that everyone has their own tastes and preferences. We ask ourselves which colours will delight and enchant our client? Our interior design company will never talk a client into a colour that doesn't make them joyful. One of our designers may love "London Slate" paint palettes, but if the client is more of an aquamarine fan, we will reconfigure our plans accordingly.


Structures Plus Inspiration Equals Interior Architecture
Mapping interior design onto structural architecture is the final ingredient for success in any respected interior design company. At Global Interior Design, the London-based interior design company that I founded several years ago, we know that the size of the room will always influence the design trajectory. For example, large rooms often sway us towards lighter, paler and more neutral colours. By contrast, our interior design company may use almost any depth of colour (including darker shades) for a smaller London bedroom that has plenty of natural light for a homeowner who prefers more subdued shades. Brighter colours emphasise grander, more airy openness, while darker colours will enhance the personal qualities of a more constrained space.
