WHO WE ARE
Since 2019, owner and principal interior designer Kahli Lynam, has been helping new home owners, first time renovators, young families, busy professionals, downsizers, empty nesters, and bespoke small businesses, locally and across Australia.
At the heart of Kahli Jayne Designs is a passion for intentional interior design that brings together your innate, personal sense of style and way of life. Based in Brisbane, Kahli scours the globe for one-of-a-kind finds, working with hundreds of suppliers and manufacturers across a range of design styles to curate bespoke interiors with a daring hint of originality.
While she knows her way around a Queenslander or two and the nuanced design styles that work with them, she’s open to pushing the boundaries if you are.
HOW WE WORK
We stand behind the ethos that every design solution is only as good as its brief – and therefore a thorough introductory Design Consultation covering your priorities, preferences and lifestyle in all their transparency, is key to delivering a thoughtful space.
Not to mention unwavering attention to detail and an eye for identifying headaches – that’s why we generally follow a 7-step design process across three phases.
We’ll embrace your vision but encourage you to explore new possibilities along the way, ensuring you make confident, considered design choices that deliver a space beyond your expectations.
1. Project Brief
Discovery Call
Book a 15-30 minute, no commitment necessary Discovery Call to let us know about your design goals, scope of work, timeframes, and we’ll see if and how we can help.
Initial Briefing & Site Evaluation
The launching pad for any of our services is a detailed Design Consultation on-site at our hourly rate where we discuss our process, your design requirements and vision. These normally take a minimum of 2hrs and are dependent on your project’s scope.
Fee Proposal & Approval
Unless you’ve simply engaged us as your Designer-On-Call for a few hours, we’ll then outline a comprehensive scope of work and suggest services to help achieve your goals, with estimated costs and allowances for approval.
2. Design
Concept Direction
We then prepare draft concepts that visualise the direction or “mood” of the design documentation to follow. This is a collaborative process that will see us finesse your vision together through one round of revisions. We’ll proceed to the final Design Phase once we’re all clear on your preferred concept direction.
Design Phase
We then get to work producing the quoted design documentation for presentation to you in-person (think moodboards, shopping lists, styling instructions, 2D space plans, 2D elevations, 3D perspective drawings, finishes and selections schedules, and material and samples boards). This is where the design concept really comes to life in all its tactility.
3. Installation
Product Selections
After you’ve considered the full design concept, we meet again to select your preferred products and plan sourcing and installation. We then update all documentation for your project team so you can tender to your builder and trades (if required). This is where big, exciting decisions that sometimes impact finer details are made, so can mean we meet a few times to get those magazine-worthy finishing touches right.
Project Implementation
Then, supporting your project’s implementation could include anything from procuring project finishes and materials, sourcing furniture and homewares, custom manufacture of pieces, and supporting installation of all the aforementioned at our exclusive pricing – not to mention on-site design check-ins with your trades and service providers, or joining you for construction site visits.
