How We Work
At Julie Ball Designed Interiors, we believe that your home should reflect your personality, lifestyle, and aspirations. Our design process is tailored to ensure that every detail is carefully considered, whether you're refreshing a single room or exploring a full home transformation.
Consultation & Design Advice
If you have a space to transform but don’t know where to start, we’ll visit you at home, and discuss the room(s) in question and what your challenges are.
We will explore your design preferences, maybe aligning two styles when working with a couple.
We will arrive armed with brochures & colour swatches to fire your imagination, then we establish your colour palette that works for you. We love to find out about you and your lifestyle, and any stories we can weave into your home story.
We maintain your home's best features, and create a design that supports a modern life, your home project becomes somewhere you can thrive and becomes your biography of sorts.
Every project is different to the next, and at this stage, before I arrive, it's often useful to have a Zoom or video call so I understand your issues. Then I am more than happy to visit you at home and discuss your individual needs and price the fee accordingly.
Concept Creation & 3D Visualisation
The next step is to create your exceptional design, showing you the specific furnishings and materials we suggest.
Having measured up, we can then work on your layout to design a functional floor plan that creates flow, proportion and functionality.
The overall design is then created on Compusoft Winner Flex Computer Aided Design software package with a wide range of U.K & International suppliers.
You will receive fully rendered images, detailed floor plan, elevations, and even ‘Walk through’ that can be presented so you can understand how your new space is going to look and feel with your chosen materials.
We work on a ‘Good, Better and Best’ basis with suppliers' products, so we can align your budget to suit your priorities. It’s good for everyone concerned that we have great relationships with suppliers, as each supplier operates differently.
Included in your quote will be one set of changes, however any re-designs are chargeable, my aim is to please.
You will be invited over to my home studio to see the design and discuss your likes and dislikes, and see the product samples or if you are busy you can request a video call.
Product Sourcing & Ordering
Your beautifully designed project is now priced on the software, but the rest of your items need collating onto a document so you can understand where all the costs come from.
The rest of your hardware, internal doors, flooring, bathroom fittings, tiles, panelled products, lighting, fabrics, wallcoverings, and decorative accessories will be listed here, and if this looks good, we would invite the trades team to meet you, and I will collate their estimates together.
I’m regularly visiting suppliers and trade fairs to discover just the right products to perfectly complete your design.
By investing in the design up front, my prices are much more favourable than buying from a showroom. And of course, the next rooms you ask me to design, carries a discount too, and makes your home feel more ‘joined up’ the more rooms we undertake.
Installation
We have an incredible team of some very experienced, talented and tidy tradesmen and women and depending on the level of service you require, I can project manage and schedule my trusted team who stay in touch with me to make the project so much easier for you.
I draw up a schedule so you know what will be happening day to day and week to week, and I would personally be keeping in regular contact to keep you up to date, when the major deliveries arrive, I tend to meet them to check everything has arrived correctly, and then meet the installers as and when they begin to make sure I have instructed them based on your wishes, we can arrange site meetings weekly to make sure everything is on track. Everybody in the team cares as much as I do about you, your home and producing a quality workmanship so you are in safe hands.
