At Studio Trio, creating exquisite spaces is what drives us, it is what inspires us, it is the heart of everything we do. We believe a beautiful interior, home or commercial space has the power to enrich, invigorate and to elevate. In return this transforms our everyday.
Studio Trio is a 'Turn Key Solution'. We have a 7 step design process to easily guide you through from 'Concept to Completion'.
This is a 1-2 hour meeting at your home or in your space, if there is no space then not to worry, we can have this meeting at our studio. This is an important time for our principal Lauren Mahoney to get to know you, understand the brief, scope of work, budget and what style you are trying to achieve. From here we create a comprehensive fee estimate based on the work needed to cover what we have discussed.
Our team prepares a comprehensive fee estimate and step by step process to capture the journey needed to get you to completion of this fabulous new home or space. If we are working with a new build, renovation then we have a 6 stage process. If it is full interior decoration of an existing or new home we have a 4 stage process. Once our proposal is completed, we explain each stage in detail face to face or via Zoom/Teams. This gives both designer and clients a chance to ask questions, understand process in full detail and feel comfortable with our detailed approach.
When you engage Studio Trio to work alongside you in your new build, renovation or decoration project, we are with you all the way. We are super passionate about delivering beautiful, well executed, detailed interiors with a stress free approach. With over 22 years' experience within the industry, we ensure you enjoy the full design journey and the outcome. Once you have proceeded with our proposal, we book all our allocated meetings in that have been stipulated within our proposal. It is a great way of having the time put aside to keep the project moving in a timely manner.
This is the first stage of the proposal which is suited for both new builds/renovation or interior decorating. This is where our team prepares detailed imagery and ideas of how we believe your home or space should look. The style guide is a great way for us to tap into each area of the project and discuss with you the look and feel, how you live, what you like about a space and how you would use each room. This is a great way for our team to understand the overall style approach to the project.
Once our style is established, our team will measure the home or space if no design files are given. Measuring is not required if we use a DWG file (DWG is an architectural file, if working with an architect). This gives our team measurements to create our interiors. If we are working on a new home with architectural plans then we begin our regular meetings which is the selection process, this is called FF and E (Fixtures/fittings and equipment). This is choosing all the items required for the home or space. We also begin our CAD documentation (Computer aided drafting) of the plans required for constructing our beautiful interiors. We also offer 3D renders of our interior spaces to help you better visualise our creations. If the project is interior decoration we begin the process of selecting all the interior soft furnishings, creating mood boards for presentation.
This is where we manage the costings and execution of our beautiful designs depending on the scope. We work closely with our builders, joiners and tradesmen to quote the work accurately and provide our clients with a clear cost of the project. This will also involve a timeline of how long the project will take. For interior decoration we manage the full execution of soft furnishings with our artisans, suppliers and installers.
We are there! This is the best bit! We walk through our beautiful creations and talk through the favourite parts of the project.
