Julia Bell Design

Services

Julia Bell can provide a solution to fit your interior design requirements.  Each option is dependent on the scale and volume of work involved.

Concept Design

This is the first stage of the interior design process, during which the goal is to deliver to the client a visual representation of the design ideas and mood for the space. This is achieved by:

  • An initial meeting with the client to discuss the brief and budget

  • Taking a measured survey, if necessary

  • Drafting floor plans

  • Drawing 3D visuals

  • Creating mood boards with sample materials such as fabrics, trimmings, furniture images, stones, timbers, metals, and other finishes

  • Preparing a preliminary budget with provisional sums

Once the concept design has been presented, the client can choose to develop and implement the ideas themselves, or can engage Julia Bell to progress the project to the next stage.

Concept Design, Detail Design and Supply of Goods

This option includes all of the above services, as well as: 

  • Developing the approved design concepts into further detail, including editing of visuals/drawings

  • Acquiring additional samples

  • Preparing specifications and schedules

  • Ordering of goods

  • Managing of and liaising with suppliers, especially where bespoke items are concerned

  • Arranging deposits and payments for all goods on behalf of client

  • Scheduling deliveries to suit client's schedule, or in special cases accepting deliveries on behalf of client

  • Assisting with installation and styling of the space/s

  • If builders are involved in the project, the client would manage these themselves or engage a third party to do so.

Concept/Detail Design, Supply, and Project Management

This is the complete design service from concept to final installation, including all of the above services, as well as:

  • Engaging contractors, subcontractors and specialist suppliers

  • Managing builders and other work on site

  • Overseeing delivery and installation of goods

  • Tracking project budget and financials

 

                                                                                                                                                        

 
 

One-Off Consulations and Services
For those clients looking for some professional help without needing to embark on a full-scale interior design project, Julia Bell can offer:

  • Colour consulations

  • Soft furnishings, such as curtains, blinds, and cushions

  • Mood boards for individual rooms (without floor plans or 3D visuals)

  • Design advice and direction as individually required (charged on an hourly basis)

E-Design

Whether time or distance is an issue, interior design for your space can still be accessible with the E-Design option. The client sends in floor plans (with measurements) and photos of the room/s and a brief description of what they are looking for, including how much they want to spend. A further phone call or Skype session may be required to address any questions. Julia Bell will then put together a digital mood board, as well as a schedule of supplier details, so the client can then implement the design on their on time.

Pricing

Given the individual nature of each interior design job, prices will depend on the client's requirements. Subject to the size of the project, the work will be charged either as a fixed fee or on an hourly basis. For very large-scale projects, a percentage of the overall contract price will be charged.
