What It’s Like to Work with an Interior Designer in Cardiff
Thinking of hiring an interior designer in Cardiff but not sure what to expect?
At SA1 Interiors, we know how personal your home is. That’s why we’ve designed our process to be collaborative, inspiring, and completely tailored to you — whether you live in a Victorian townhouse in Pontcanna, a modern apartment in Cardiff Bay, or a spacious new build in Lisvane.
Here’s what it’s really like to work with us:
1. Your Free Discovery Call
Every project begins with a complimentary phone or video consultation. We’ll talk about your home, lifestyle, design goals, and timeline — and answer any questions you might have.
This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s an opportunity to explore whether we’re the right fit for each other.
2. In-Home or Virtual Design Consultation
Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll visit your home (or work remotely if preferred) and take a detailed brief. We assess your space, take measurements, and learn more about how you want to feel in your home.
This stage is about inspiration, vision, and clarity.
3. Moodboards & Design Concepts
We create beautifully curated moodboards and spatial plans tailored to your property style — whether it’s a period home with original details or a clean-lined contemporary space. You’ll receive a concept that feels cohesive, personal, and aligned with your lifestyle.
We often source from trusted local suppliers in Cardiff, like FW Homestores, BoConcept, or artisan fabric specialists in Pontcanna.
4. Procurement & Project Management
Want help bringing your design to life? We can manage product sourcing, liaise with trades, and oversee timelines — so you don’t have to chase deliveries or coordinate suppliers.
This is especially valuable if you’re working full-time, travelling, or managing a renovation.
5. Styling & Finishing Touches
We finish with finesse — from fluffing cushions and hanging curtains, to placing artwork and final tweaks. We believe in styling homes that are not only beautiful, but also deeply livable.
Every project is different.
We offer flexible packages — from full home design to single room styling — tailored for Cardiff homes of all shapes and sizes.
