DESIGN CONSULTATION
Every space begins with a conversation.
Our Design Consultation (up to 90 minutes) can be held on site, in our studio or via Google Meet. This is where we connect and explore your project in detail to gain a clear understanding on the direction ahead.
Following the consultation, you’ll receive a tailored proposal outlining the recommended scope, design service and investment suited to your project.
Required prior to moving forward with a full service.
Through a collaborative design process, By Marney Studio creates considered interiors that balance functionality, beauty and the unique character of each home. Every project is tailored to your vision, your lifestyle and the level of support you need.

-
Refinement: Design solutions are thoughtfully refined and documented, with collaboration between trusted suppliers and trades where required to confirm pricing and seamless execution before implementation.

Implement: Receive your completed documentation for implementation. Ongoing on-site design support is available to support a seamless outcome.
Are you a builder?
Think of By Marney Studio as an extension of your team.
We collaborate with builders to deliver a considered selections experience that complements the construction process.
Acting as an extension of your team, we guide clients through key design decisions, ensuring selections are resolved efficiently and with confidence.
Let’s chatFAQ’s.
-
Choosing the right service depends on the stage of your project and how much guidance you’re looking for. If you haven’t already, we recommend starting with the Welcome Guide, where each service and its inclusions are outlined in detail. The most suitable service can then be confirmed following the design consultation, based on your budget, project timeframe and level of support required.
-
The earlier, the better. We begin working together in the early planning or pre-construction stage to ensure design details are considered from the start. If your project is already underway, don’t worry - support is still available with services tailored to your project stage.
-
During the initial stages, we encourage your involvement as we develop your design brief. From there, it’s completely up to you. We tailor the process to your preferences - some clients love being hands on, while others prefer to step back and let us take the lead. Either way, we keep you informed at key points to ensure the final outcome aligns with your vision.
-
It’s natural to feel unsure at this stage. Think about any questions you have and write them down. Inspiration photos are always helpful! We highly recommend using Pinterest to put together a board of all your ideas. If you're unsure where to start, don’t worry - this will be one of the first steps once your project begins. No need to have everything figured out, that’s what we’re here for!
-
The design timeline will vary depending on the scope and complexity of your project. As a general guide, Half Package Interior Design projects are typically completed within 4-6 weeks, while Full Interior Design projects generally take 8–16 weeks. Interior Styling projects typically take 4–8 weeks.
Factors such as client approvals, revisions, supplier lead times, and trade availability may influence the overall timeline. If you’re working towards a specific deadline, we’ll discuss this from the start and do our best to keep the project on track.
-
Oh yes we do! We have access to select supplier discounts and will always pass on any available savings where possible. A great perk of working with a designer!
-
Every space we design is centred around you. While we bring a refined and considered design approach, the outcome is never about applying a fixed style. It’s about understanding how you live, how you want to feel in your home, and what truly resonates with you.
We focus on creating spaces that feel intentional and personal by layering in your personality, lifestyle and the details that light you up. The result is a home that feels like a true extension of you.
-
Every project is unique, so your design investment depends on the level of support you need, the size and complexity of your project, and the services required.
Following your design consultation, you'll receive a personalised proposal with a fixed fee tailored to your project. We also like to understand your design budget from the beginning, allowing us to recommend the most suitable level of support and become a seamless extension of your project from day one.
Our Designer On Demand offering is a little different, with set session packages and upfront pricing available for specific design needs.
-
Depending on the size and scope of your project, payments are structured with an initial deposit to secure your booking, followed by staged payments at key points throughout the design process. Your personalised proposal will outline the payment schedule before your project begins.
