FAQ

Interior Design Studio

1. What does an interior designer do?

An interior designer creates functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces by handling space planning, furniture selection, lighting design, material sourcing, and full project coordination. At Grandly Interiors, we manage the entire home transformation process — from concept to completion — so you get a stunning, liveable space without the stress.

2. How much does interior design cost?

Interior design costs depend on the scope of your project. At Grandly Interiors, we offer transparent flat-fee, hourly, or percentage-based pricing. A single-room redesign starts from an affordable design retainer, while full-home interior projects are quoted individually. We offer a free consultation with a clear, itemised estimate — no hidden charges.

3. What is the interior design process step by step?

Our interior design process has 5 stages: (1) Discovery Consultation — understanding your lifestyle and budget. (2) Concept Development — mood boards and style direction. (3) Design Presentation — floor plans, 3D renders, and material boards. (4) Procurement & Project Management — sourcing and contractor coordination. (5) Final Styling & Handover — accessories, art, and finishing touches.

4. How long does an interior design project take?

A single-room interior design project typically takes 6–10 weeks including procurement. A full-home renovation can range from 4 to 12 months depending on complexity. Grandly Interiors provides a detailed project timeline at the start so you always know exactly what to expect.

5. What interior design styles are popular right now?

The most popular interior design styles in 2025–2026 include warm minimalism, biophilic design with natural textures, transitional style (classic meets contemporary), Japandi, and maximalist luxury. At Grandly Interiors, we blend trend-forward elements with timeless design so your space never feels dated.

6. Do you offer residential and commercial interior design?

Yes. Grandly Interiors provides both residential interior design — apartments, villas, bungalows, and new builds — and commercial interior design including offices, restaurants, retail stores, and hospitality spaces. Each project gets a dedicated team with specialist expertise.

7. Will I be involved in the design decisions?

Absolutely. At Grandly Interiors, your input drives every decision. We present curated design concepts and material selections for your approval before anything is ordered. You’ll have a dedicated designer, regular progress updates, and sign-off on all key choices. We lead the process — you stay in control.

8. What are the latest interior design trends for 2025–2026?

Top interior design trends for 2025–2026 include earthy colour palettes (terracotta, olive, warm beige), biophilic interiors with indoor plants and natural stone, curved organic furniture, layered lighting design, and travertine surfaces. The biggest shift is toward investment pieces that stay stylish for years — timeless over trendy.

9. Do you provide 3D interior design renders before work begins?

Yes. Photorealistic 3D interior renders and virtual walkthroughs are part of our full-service packages. Visualising your space before purchasing anything eliminates guesswork and ensures you are 100% confident in the design direction. For smaller projects, we provide detailed mood boards and elevation drawings.

10. Do you manage contractors and renovation work?

Yes. We offer full turnkey interior project management, coordinating with architects, builders, electricians, plumbers, and carpenters. We handle scheduling, quality control, and site visits so you don’t have to. For clients who only need the design plan to hand to their own contractor, we also offer design-only packages.

11. Do you manage renovation work?

Yes. Grandly Interiors handles full renovation management — coordinating structural work, electrical, plumbing, flooring, carpentry, and painting through our trusted network of licensed contractors. We act as your single point of contact throughout, managing schedules, quality control, and site visits so you don’t have to lift a finger. All renovation work is carried out to the highest standards and in compliance with local building regulations.

12. How do I choose the right colour scheme for my house?

The key to choosing the right interior colour scheme is to select your fabrics, upholstery, and flooring first — then match your paint. Paint comes in thousands of options, making it far easier to match paint to textiles than the reverse. Always test paint samples in your actual room light, as natural and artificial lighting dramatically change how a colour reads on the wall.

13. What is included in your free interior design consultation?

Our free interior design consultation (in-person or virtual) lasts 45–60 minutes. We discuss your space, lifestyle, style preferences, and budget. You’ll receive initial design direction ideas and a written proposal with scope, timeline, and fees. There is absolutely no obligation to proceed — we want you to feel completely comfortable before committing.

14. How do I make a small room look bigger with interior design?

To make a small room look bigger, use light, cohesive colour palettes, hang floor-to-ceiling curtains to raise the perceived ceiling height, add mirrors to reflect light and create depth, choose right-scaled multi-functional furniture, and reduce visual clutter. Layered lighting — floor lamps, wall sconces, and ceiling lights — also dramatically increases how spacious a room feels.

15. Can you redesign just one room, or only full homes?

Grandly Interiors takes on single-room redesigns just as enthusiastically as full-home projects. Whether it’s a bedroom makeover, kitchen refresh, living room redesign, or home office setup — no project is too small. Our room-by-room design packages let you transform your space gradually, at your own pace and budget.
