Two revision rounds

Links live 90 days

What lands in your inbox

One PDF, six documents, and a list you can shop.

01

Scaled floor plan

Your room drawn at 1:50 with every piece placed and dimensioned, including the walkways between them.

2 pages

02

Elevations

Each wall drawn flat, so you can see hanging heights, shelf runs and how the lighting sits against the window.

3 to 4 pages

03

Palette and finishes

Paint codes, timber, metal and fabric names, tested against photographs of your own light rather than a showroom’s.

1 page

04

Shopping list

Every piece with supplier, price, lead time and a cheaper alternate on the same line. Links stay live for 90 days.

20 to 30 lines

05

Install guide

The order of work: what to paint first, what to measure again before ordering, and which four pieces to buy if the budget stops early.

06

The mood board

One page, not twenty. It exists to agree a direction on day three, not to decorate the pack.

at $795

Which works out at $53 an hour — roughly half what the same work bills at hourly, because nobody is driving anywhere and nobody is sitting in a meeting.

Not in the fee: the furniture, deliveries, trades, permits, install labour, or a third revision round at $95.

While the pack is being made

How the palette gets settled, and posted.

Two people, one room, no meeting

Nadia and Marcus settle the weave between them — the only people who see your room

Samples in the post

Free on every full room, before you buy anything

You never sit in on this part, and you are not billed for it. What reaches you is the palette page in the pack, with paint codes and fabric names you can order from — and, if you want to feel the cloth first, the samples themselves.

One worked example

The Alberta Street loft, from photographs to install.
