How Renovation Design Support Works
Step 1: Getting Started
Submit your to-scale floor plan with measurements and inspo images.
We will then discuss your renovation plans, lifestyle, preferences and styling goals in detail.
We will also create a group chat with yourself, myself and your appointed GC/ID.
Step 2: Design Direction
I will develop a clear design direction for your space, including layout, style, mood and atmosphere, material, colour, hardware and finish recommendations.
Step 3: Material Selection
Once the design direction is confirmed, we will go shopping to select materials such as tiles, laminates, countertop finishes, flooring, paint, knobs and handles.
Step 4: Ongoing Communication Support
I will work closely with your appointed GC or ID by communicating the design concept and material selections to them, ensuring that the plans are carried through.
Your contractor or ID is responsible for handling the project management, timelines, technical drawings and renovation works.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. This service does not replace an interior designer. It focuses on design concept and material selections. This service is especially helpful if you are working directly with a general contractor or an ID who focuses on project management and execution.
-
A GC is often more cost-effective if you already have a clear design direction and are comfortable working with simple floorplans and technical drawings.
An ID provides more comprehensive project management and usually produces full drawings and 3D renders to help you visualise the space, but may come at a more premium price.
-
I do not manage your contractor or supervise renovation works. However, I will work with your contractor closely by communicating the design concepts, support with problem-solving and ensuring that the outcome is as per what was discussed.

E-Styling and Full Styling focus on refreshing spaces through decorative styling and loose furnishings.
Renovation Design Support creates the overall design concept for your home and helps you make crucial decisions on aesthetics, materials and colours for kitchen, bathrooms and built-in carpentry.
-
While an interior designer handles the technical and structural aspect of renovation, a home may still feel incomplete without the right furnishings. This is where many homeowners find themselves stuck on choosing furniture that fit, both in proportion and style.
As an interior stylist, I am able to help with both the design direction of your renovation and the overall styling of your space (even handling nitty gritty logistics for you) so that your home feels both cohesive and complete. This gives you peace of mind and greatly reduces decision fatigue.
-
Ideally 1.5 to 2 months before your renovation begins. This ensures sufficient time to understand your needs and confirm the styling direction, which will guide all material choices from the start.
It also allows time for thoughtful decision-making, without feeling rushed.
-
This service is priced according to the scope of the renovation project. As every home renovation is different, please get in touch for a custom quote.

I take on a collaborative approach with my clients. I like to understand how you live and what matters to you before making recommendations. The more context you share, the more accurately I can guide decisions that work for your space.
Instead of overwhelming you with options, I narrow choices down carefully and explain the reasoning behind them to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
At its core, my approach is built on trust, respect and open communication. The goal is not to impose a fixed aesthetic, but to create a space that feels intentional, personal and aligned with the way you live.
