From the Lesson Workbook
Installation & Finishing a Project
My client bought the worst house on the best street, with the aim of transforming the property into her dream home – and we have done just that. No room was left untouched, and the extensive renovation included a loft conversion and a rear extension.
Installation
Once the build and construction has finished, the project is then handed over to me and my team to install all of the decorative elements and furniture to complete the design. This takes a lot of planning and organisation, making sure everything is in exactly the right place.
After 18 months of hard work, our Wimbledon project is now complete, and I'm incredibly excited to share the end result with you.
Some clients require a 'full service installation', where they want us to get the home completely ready for them to walk in and start living. This involves fully styling, as well as unpacking for them and potentially enlisting the help of a home organiser.
I would recommend communicating clearly with your client from the outset as to what they are expecting from the installation and the level of service they require.

The best adventure
The best adventure. I like all the courses, but my favorite are both Rita Konig interior design courses and Anna Jones. Excellent!
