Stage 1: Concept Boards This will form an over-arching feel for your home, giving consistent styling and design throughout. It will set the tone for each of the individual rooms and give a long-term vision for each space. You will receive a booklet consisting of a concept board for the overall look and feel of your home and then one board for each individual room that needs decorating.
Stage 1: Floorplan Proposal You will receive an initial Floor plan proposal. Giving an overall feel for the layout of each room and general aesthetic. This will enable conversation between you and I on the flow of the room and which furniture items are needed. This will form the basis of fixtures, fittings and furniture selections enabling us to move forward to more technical aspects. This floorplan and model is refined as the process continues. It is given in a video format.
Stage 2: Mood Boards & Visual Elevations Based on Furniture selections, I will curate each room and give you a visual representation of how this will look and feel as it is put together. You will also receive physical samples of all material samples used on the project. This includes: -
Flooring Tiles Paint Colours Wallpapers Upholstery fabric samples Window dressing fabric or material samples Metallic finishes
Stage 3: Furniture / Fixture & fitting suggestions I use an online cloud based system that allows you to approve or decline every element of the design in your home. Including: Furniture, Home Accessories, Lighting, Soft furnishings, fixtures & fittings.
Stage 3: Furniture / Fixture & fitting suggestions Each item has a description, dimensions and multiple images.
Stage 4: Technical Floorplans You will receive final technical floorplans and elevations with the exact measurements, for the fixtures and fitting selected. These can be used to pass on to tradespeople or for you to do yourself.
Stage 4: Technical Floorplans - Side elevation
Technical Models & Elevations Technical drawings and models are created for bespoke work. Exact measurements are given for builders and tradespeople. Alongside these drawings a list of materials and finishing requirements is given, as well any material samples in order to create something truly unique.

Customer Feedback RENOVATION SERVICE
“I employed Make My House Home for my Office in Farringdon - We needed a Kitchen installed / a wall taken down/meeting room created/a mini kitchen down stairs/ a shower room and some TLC on our dingy bathrooms. It was a big job with a tight turn around before Christmas - In a matter of weeks we had worked together on the design, Rebecca had thought though our branding and incorporated our internal look into a modern look that flowed through the office. She has an amazing eye for look and feel of spaces. The team stuck to time working weekends and late in to the night to get everything done for me. I couldn't give a higher recommendation to such a great company. I will definitely be using them again in the future for my Personal Home or The Office. “ Martha, Loop Me, Office Renovation
Customer Feedback RENOVATION SERVICE “I’ve worked with Rebecca a number of times over the last two years and highly recommend her. The ideas are always great, the costs reasonable and her workman are excellent. As a landlord with multiple properties I have dealt with many similar experts over the years - Rebecca is hands down the best.” Hamish, Homeowner & Landlord
Customer Feedback RENOVATION SERVICE “We were looking for someone to have full reign in decorating our newly bought house due to the arrival of our baby. Rebecca really took our ideas on board and came up with an incredible mood board that perfectly fit our taste! She has a reliable decorating team along with trustworthy suppliers and has good links with carpenters and furnishing companies. Communication and updates were consistent and everything was carried out in a timely manner. What we really liked were the personal touches she added just from getting to know us a bit more, e.g. an olive tree as a nod to our Greek background. We completely entrusted Rebecca overtaking such a large project and I can’t recommend her enough!” Sophia, Home Owner
