Two weeks, as they sitin the studio diary.

  1. 01

    Read

    Your photographs, measurements and questionnaire arrive. We read them the same day and query anything that does not add up.

  2. 02

    Draw

    The shell goes down to scale. A wrong measurement is caught here, not on day twelve.

  3. 03

    Palette

    Tile, timber and fabric samples on the studio table

    The palette goes down against photographs of your own light, not a showroom’s.

Average pack lands on day 11 against a promised 14. If we miss the promised date, the balance drops 10%. Nothing is priced before day 6, and nothing is ordered by us at all — you buy from the list.

Day one

Four photographs, two numbers,and twenty minutes.

Form B · IntakeRev. 06 · 2026

Photographs

One from each corner, phone level at chest height

Corners show the room. The shot from the doorway shows a door.

Measurements

Longest wall, and the wall at right angles to it

Feet and inches. Ceiling height only if it is unusual.

What stays

A photograph and a width for anything you are keeping

The plan is built around it, not around a catalogue.

Questionnaire

Twelve questions, about twenty minutes

How the room is used, who sits where, the one thing you cannot live with.

If you cannot measure

Send the floor plan from your lease or listing

We can work from it, and the pack says so. If a measurement turns out wrong, photograph the tape against the wall and we redraw free, up to the day the pack ships.

Days eight to twelve

One revision round,as it actually reads.

  1. Marguerite · day 9, 8:14am

    Love the layout. Three things: the sofa is too pale for a house with a dog, the rug is over budget, and can the shelving go on the other wall so the window stays clear?

  2. Nadia · day 9, 4:02pm

    All three are fine. Sofa swapped to the olive weave — same frame, $180 cheaper, and it hides everything. Rug dropped to the 6×9 in the same wool, saves $290. Shelving moved: plan and elevations redrawn, and the lighting shifted with it so nothing casts across the window.

  3. Marguerite · day 10, 7:40am

    Perfect. That is my one round used, isn’t it?

  4. Nadia · day 10, 9:05am

    One of two. The second is yours until the pack ships on day 14.

A round is one reply with everything in it. It is not six emails over four days, and it is not the same room in a different style — that is a new brief, and we would say so. Two rounds settle 96 rooms in 100.
