We are here to make the design process fun and easy to understand. If you have any more questions, please send us an email.
Interior Designers focus on the design details, especially when it comes to the internal layout, flow and feel of a space. We design with our client’s lifestyle in mind, and how each consideration will affect the experience from the front door and throughout.
We enjoy collaborating with Architects, Builders, and Landscape designers and quite often this is when the magic happens. All specialties joining forces to have your best interests in mind. Interior Designers often get involved with designing the details like internal joinery, kitchen, and bathrooms and consulting on colours, materials, fittings and fixtures, right down to the furniture choices and the very last cushion.
If you are starting a project that involves internal renovation of multiple rooms within the same footprint and you not not have existing conditions or a site plan measured, we will connect you with a registered drafter who can conduct this prior to engaging us. We also recommend working with our consultants to conduct the general framework of the floor plan including wall removal or additions, changes to room functions as these require permits and structural consultation which we do not offer.
Our approach is holistic in nature, with every selection and decision working toward a beautiful end result.
We work with you, our clients and facilitate and support where-ever you are in the journey. We regularly collaborate closely with Architects and drafters to ensure the proposed floor plan aligns with your vision. While they handle the technical framework plans (including wall removal/additions structural or not and confirming the zones and the overall dimensions), we can provide input to refine layouts for functionality, flow, and design cohesion.
Often, once the plans are finalised, we generally use the dwg. file to build upon the floor plan, and create tailored interior layouts and elevations focusing on the details and rooms we have been engaged for, such as space planning for Bathrooms, Kitchens, Bedrooms, Robes, Custom joinery etc as well as specifying and documenting the relative finishes, fittings, decoration, furniture and finished styling.
Alternatively if you have your plans/elevations approved and ready to go, we can mark up and consult on minor tweaks to elevate the design, provide 3D imagery and specification according to those plans.
Our design fees are priced individually according to each project. Here’s a guide to help you determine if we’re the right fit:

Absolutely! If your project involves a whole-home renovation or multiple rooms, we require accurate, dimensioned floor plans as a prerequisite before starting the design process. We’ll connect you with trusted architects or drafters who can prepare these plans, ensuring the project starts on a strong foundation.
For smaller-scale projects, like a standalone kitchen or bathroom, we can handle the site measure and layout directly.
This is something we feel very strongly about as we wholeheartedly believe that a good design outcome is built on a collaboration between Designer and Client, through communication, trust, and respect, and these characteristics are what drives our projects.
We encourage prospective clients to view our projects and body of work, view our social media channels as this will give a pretty good idea of what we are about, our approach, and our ways of working. We require you to entrust the process and jump on board with our recommendations and ideas.
The design process can be lengthy, especially if you are undertaking an extensive renovation, so having a connection and being on the same page from day one is a very good idea.
The Initial Consultation is a one-hour session designed to provide clarity and actionable insights about your project. It’s a one-time service to explore your vision, whether you decide to move forward with Eclectic Creative or not. We discuss your project’s scope, renovation/build budget timeline, goals, and aesthetic preferences.
We ask you to prepare in advance for example:
The consultation helps us understand your needs, confirm whether we are the right for one-another and to prepare a custom fee proposal outlining the brief, scope of works, and design fees.
Consultations are non-refundable $395 + GST, paid in advance to book, with travel fees applying outside our 10km radius.
Once you have engaged a builder for your renovation, they are responsible for the site, and all the trades. Your builder is the Project Manager.
We offer Design Management during the implementation phase, ensuring the design details are executed and our design intent is seen through, and assisting with decisions on site. In large projects, especially with older heritage homes, things can arise or change as the project takes shape and it’s best to have a Designer working with the team to ensure the design intent is still resolved.
Depending on your project, we make regular site visits to check on progress at crucial stages, however, the timeline and execution of the build is with your appointed builder. Please note this also includes smaller projects, Eclectic Creative are not responsible for managing the trades appointed, this is the clients responsibility to manage if a builder is not appointed. Our role is managing the design intent.
Design Management is charged hourly in advance, in blocks of time depending on the scale of the project.
