Understanding the Full-Service Interior Design Process in Abu Dhabi

Consultation, space planning, concept, procurement, execution, and final styling.

With partial design, you only complete certain areas or stages while a full-service interior design will provide a seamless can’t execution or transition through all stages of interior design project.

For busy professionals or families, including overseas assignments, you can save time, trust that you obtain a balance of functional and luxury interior design while minimizing stress of completing a project yourself.

The consultation phase kicks off with an extensive conversation where the design team will listen to the client’s vision, lifestyle needs, and personal taste. The practical side of the project (scope of work, budget, timelines) will be clarified to help create the framework from which all future decisions will be made.

Designers will make a site visit to accurately measure the space, and to study the space’s layout and structure in greater detail. This site study will inform their analysis of design opportunities and constraints so that the design will be attractive and fully functional.

The designers will create initial concepts with the help of mood boards, sketches, and visualizations that represent the client’s style and dreams. Concepts will be explored in different design themes as well, such as a modern elegance or traditional luxury, to help clients best imagine their design before determining the final direction we will take.

Once a concept has been approved, designers will develop an in-depth floor plan, 3D renderings, and technical layouts representing every design detail. All aspects of the design, which include lighting, furniture layouts, and materials used will become finalized in this stage of development. The design is now transformed from a fascinating idea into detail-driven design to execute.
