Designing a home is a personal venture – a home provides the canvas on which we can illustrate who we are. Feather & Oak Interiors is a full-service interior design firm that designs homes from concept to completion, from new builds to renovations, that stand the test of time. Based in Northern Canterbury, our team has collaborated on projects nationwide creating spaces that bring form, function and beauty to the everyday.
We believe that good design tells a story, and we can’t wait to learn more about you. Every project is unique and we are confident that together we can bring your vision to life.
Join us for a complimentary discovery phone call where we will discuss how we can help you reimagine your build or renovation and create a home that looks after the people you love! We offer a fully customised and comprehensive approach to design and can help you with one room or an entire home.
Once the call ends there’s no obligation to go further but by the end of our chat you’ll have a good feel for how we work, and we will get a good idea about what you need help with.
Once we have completed our discovery call we would love you to join us in our design studio for a complimentary meeting to get to know each other and learn more about your build or renovation aspirations. Bring your inspirational images, drawings and designs; we would like to hear your story, understand the 'how' and the 'why' with respect to your vision and discuss the team you're assembling, timelines, ballpark budget and so on.
(If you don't know all the answers that's okay! We can help you with this once we start the official design process.)
We will talk you through our process and next steps for your interior design journey with our fabulous team..
COMPLIMENTARY 30 MINS
Ready to go to the next stage with your project with us? Our design process includes:
Phase One: Concept Development and Scope
The planning phase is the stage where we deep dive into discovering and bringing together all your inspiration and ideas. We explore your needs and wishes, daily work flows and entertainment aspirations. This phase is where all the ideas start to come together to create a framework for the design and the goalposts (including a schedule and budget) that we will work towards with the final design in mind.
Phase Two: Design and Revision
During the design development phase we will fine-tune your floor plan to determine your home's flow and functionality. We will present you with a refined interior schedule that defines the palette, design layout and overall aesthetic so that you can start to visualise how each space will feel and look when it's complete.
WE HAVE CLEVERLY TIED STAGE ONE AND TWO INTO AN EASY DESIGN PACKAGE FOR REASSURANCE AROUND DESIGN FEES AND ALSO TO PROVIDE YOU A SOLID START TO YOUR NEW BUILD OR RENOVATION JOURNEY.
Phase Three: Sourcing, Schedules and Specifications
During the Sourcing, Schedules and Specifications Phase we start to round out the interior selections by specifying products and showing you sampling of the finishes.
Phase Four: Construction and Install
During the construction phase of your build we can assist with project management and installation of interior selections we have specified.
Phase Five: Styling
The Styling Stage is where we coordinate the furniture and decor for your home to ensure a highly coordinated and executed finish to your interior.
Starting with large scale items such as furniture and area rugs through to the smallest of decor details our professional team create a home that is beautiful, balanced and bespoke.
We love the moment you enter your home and see your vision become a reality, in a house that perfectly reflects your style and aspirations!!
