We act as the client’s agent in coordinating the builder and relevant contractors to ensure integration of window coverings in the building works program.
Furniture and Styling
We source furniture and styling items from local and international designers and present ideas to our clients through visual presentations - including furniture plans, product imagery and visits to showrooms. We then select fabrics and finishes with our clients, and lisiaise directly with suppliers to finalise the orders with suppliers.
Where a suitable option does not exist, we can design custom furniture pieces to suit.
