Our Services
TAILORED TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Verandah House which is renowned in the residential market now offers its design services to the Super Yacht Industry. With expert knowledge and understanding of the unique requirements of superyachts, Jess and the VH team can work closely with you to guide decisions throughout the design process and collaborate with both you and your project team.
VH is committed to a highly personalised experience with a belief that creating a yacht interior can and should be enjoyable. They understand that the many moving parts of a refit can feel intimidating and ensure clients find ease, inspiration and delight while helping them articulate the styles they love with expert management throughout the design experience.
DECORATE & FURNISH
Decorating is where our core passion lies and is the stage of the project our clients often enjoy the most. For some, it will mean adding life to a blank canvas, while for others the interiors are tired and are ready for a refresh. We create a clear vision for how the space will look and function and transform it with the use of quality furniture, fabrics and styling pieces. We’ve sourced the globe for unique pieces that stand the test of time, and work with you to place them in your yacht to ensure you experience a seamless integration of design meets functionality.
TURNKEY & CONSULT
For renovation or new build projects, we’ve available to guide as much or as little of the interior design process as you need, working alongside your Captain and refit team. Working with the Verandah House designers from the beginning of a project ensures your yacht has a cohesive feel as we turn our eye for colour and detail to the joinery, finishes, lighting and flow of the interior. This saves you money, stress and delays as we plan ahead and remove the guesswork from the beginning.
Creating your Project The Design Process
STEP 1 | CLIENT CONSULTATION
The design process begins with an initial consultation meeting to visit the yacht (if applicable) and meet with the clients and any other professionals involved to discuss the project in detail. This meeting helps us to establish a scope of work and develop a personal understanding of the client’s requirements. After this meeting, we present a Letter of Engagement.
Ø CONSULT FEE: $650 + GST (Capped up to 2hrs)
STEP 2 | LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT
At VH, our goal is to make the design process an enjoyable one for our clients. Our Letter of Engagement outlines our design process, together with a breakdown of our method of operation to guarantee transparency and to ensure our clients understand the process. Upon signing the agreement, 50% of the allocated fee is due for payment in order to commence work on the project. The final 50% is due prior to the presentation date.
STEP 3 | CREATING THE DESIGN
The VH design team begin creating the overall vision for the project and develop preliminary concepts and selections for each area of the yacht. The designer takes into consideration the client’s goal for the project together with an understanding of the budget, timeframe and durability of each selection. The designers are able to source specialty pieces, custom designed furniture and unique artwork taking into account any pieces you may want to incorporate. The detailed creative process can take approximately 4 6 weeks from commencement to completion depending on the scope and scale of the project. For new build projects, the timeline can vary.

STEP 4 | CONCEPTUAL PRESENTATION
The Conceptual Presentation is a meeting at the client’s home/yacht or preferred location. The meeting incorporates a combination of a tactile and digital presentation to provide a detailed overview of the concept and selections for each area of the project. For interior design projects, these initial concepts allow the designers to further develop selections and finishes based on client feedback.
STEP 5 | CHECK MEASURE
Once all designs are selected and approved, the VH team organise a site meeting (if applicable) with any trade professionals required to quote and execute the project. On site measurements, photos and a final criteria meeting is completed.
STEP 6 | SCHEDULE OF FURNITURE, FINISHES & FIXTURES
Working alongside your architect or builder, VH can guide as much or as little of the build/renovation process as you need and offer consultancy support. 3D renders and walk throughs are optional and are designed in collaboration by an out sourced team of experts/architect at an additional fee if required. Any documentation / specifications required for new build/renovations are charged on an hourly rate basis. If you do not require design consultancy, this step will not apply.
STEP 7 | QUOTATION & PROPOSAL
Interior decoration items such as furniture, soft furnishings, light fixtures, wallpaper and bespoke pieces that make up the interior selections of a project are all detailed, itemised and individually quoted to provide the client an accurate, transparent overview of the selections and costs involved. At this stage, the proposal is presented and the VH team include installation and styling for items purchased with VH. Additional costs for styling client’s pieces are charged by the hour.

What a privilege to work with Verandah House to design and furnish a beautiful unique home on the waterfront at Ormiston. Throughout the process, the designers remained mindful of our budget, cutting cost where possible, without taking away from quality.
We found it easy to trust their insight and flair to produce something really special . Taking the load off our shoulders made the whole process a pleasure rather than a burden and we know we would not have achieved the outcome we did without Judy and Jess. We are currently working with Verandah House on our next project.
