The Ultimate Budget & Cost Guide
Understand interior costs, what drives pricing, and where to invest for maximum impact.
Understanding Interior Costs
Budgeting for an interior design project can be daunting. Costs are typically driven by three main factors: civil work, material quality, and custom joinery. By prioritizing where you spend, you can achieve a premium look without unnecessary expenditure.
Where to Invest
We recommend investing heavily in permanent fixtures like kitchen cabinetry, flooring, and bathroom fittings. These elements see the most wear and tear and are the hardest to replace. Opt for high-quality hinges and moisture-resistant core materials.
Where to Save
You can often save on decorative lighting, soft furnishings, and loose furniture. These items can be easily upgraded over time as your budget allows, without requiring structural changes to your home.
