When considering your budget for your interior design project, it’s important to factor in various aspects. Here are some key points to consider:

• Furniture and accessories: Determine how much you can allocate for purchasing furniture and accessories. This includes items like sofas, tables, chairs, lighting fixtures, rugs, curtains, and decorative pieces.
• Major changes: If you plan on making significant changes to your space, such as replacing furniture, updating electrical components, or installing new window treatments, it’s crucial to inform your designer about your overall budget for these specific areas. This will help them source appropriate items and make design choices that align with your financial constraints.
• Communicate your budget: Be transparent with your designer about your budget limitations. They will appreciate knowing your financial boundaries and can then tailor their design recommendations accordingly. Rest assured that our team thrives on challenges and will work within your budget to create a beautiful and functional design solution.

By considering these aspects and effectively communicating your budget to your designer, they can make informed decisions and ensure that the design process aligns with your financial expectations. Remember, openness and collaboration are key in achieving a design that meets both your aesthetic aspirations and budgetary constraints.

3D rendering in interior design is the process of creating a realistic, three-dimensional image of a space based on design concepts. It visually represents what a room or area will look like once it’s fully designed, including furniture, lighting, colours, and textures.

3D rendering benefits both designers and clients by providing a realistic visual of how the final design will look. Designers can experiment with ideas, and clients can better understand the proposed design, making communication clearer and decision-making easier. It helps reduce errors, adjustments, and surprises during the implementation phase.

Yes, 3D renderings can easily show multiple design options for the same space, such as different furniture arrangements, colour schemes, or lighting setups. This flexibility allows clients to visualise various concepts before committing to a final design.

A 2D floor plan provides a flat, top-down view of the layout of a space, showing dimensions, walls, and furniture placement. A 3D rendering, on the other hand, offers a realistic, three-dimensional view of the space, showing how the design elements will look from different angles and with actual lighting, textures, and colours.

As an affordable interior design service, our 3D renderings provide an excellent visual representation of how your final design will look. However, please note that while we strive for accuracy, the colours and textures displayed in the renders may not perfectly match the actual materials in real life due to lighting and screen variations.

Both our Revive and Reinvent packages include 3D renderings and immersive 360-degree visualisations, allowing you to experience your design in a whole new way. Plus, you’ll receive a complimentary pair of aIDyl VR Goggles, so you can easily view your space in 360° using your smartphone. This added feature comes at no extra cost—it’s all part of the service!

Yes, one of the advantages of 3D rendering is that changes can be made relatively easily. Lydia can adjust elements like furniture, colour schemes, and layouts without having to start from scratch, making it an efficient way to explore different options.

Yes, 3D rendering is extremely helpful for renovation projects. It allows Lydia and clients to visualise the changes before they happen, helping to plan layouts, materials, and finishes more effectively and avoid costly mistakes.

Yes, 3D renderings are designed to reflect the accurate size and proportions of furniture and spaces. We use the precise measurements you provide and apply scaling when creating the renderings to ensure the layout and proportions are as realistic as possible, helping clients get an accurate sense of the design.

If you have concerns about taking measurements, our welcome guide includes helpful tools and instructions to guide you through the process accurately. We are committed to ensuring that you receive a high-quality design service, even without a physical visit to your home.

During the entirety of the design service, your designer is readily available for communication through WhatsApp. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries or concerns you may have.

Additionally, your designer will keep you updated on the progress of your design and may seek your input or clarification through WhatsApp to ensure the final design meets your expectations and satisfaction.

Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and we strive to ensure that you love your design. Rest assured, we have measures in place to address any concerns you may have.

To begin, we initiate an in-depth initial consultation to fully understand your needs, desires, and the unique aspects of your space. This allows us to establish a solid foundation for the design process. As part of our Revive & Reinvent package, we offer a second consultation where we present you with concepts and room layouts for your approval. This ensures that you have a say in the direction of the design before proceeding further.

Throughout the entire journey, we maintain regular communication via WhatsApp. This enables us to constantly align with your vision, clarify any doubts, and seek your approval on various design elements. We value your input and believe that collaboration is key to achieving exceptional results.

However, if you find yourself dissatisfied with the design even after these comprehensive steps, we offer a revision option at an additional cost. This allows us to make the necessary adjustments and refinements based on your feedback, ensuring that the final result meets your expectations.

Our ultimate goal is to create a design that you absolutely adore, and we are committed to going above and beyond to achieve that.
