A shared brief
Identify the rooms, pieces to retain, priorities and proposed sequence. Bring any architect’s or builder’s drawings so the wider design can start from the same information.
YOUR WHOLE-HOME DESIGN BRIEF
Connect the rooms without losing their individuality.
A PERSONAL STARTING POINT
For a Burford home, an interior-design brief can identify the rooms you want to change and the character you want to retain. Common materials and lighting can connect spaces while different colours or treatments give each room a role of its own.
The care behind Obsidian’s kitchens and bathrooms designed around your home starts with the same practical questions: how the spaces are used, what should remain and what needs to work better.
Our residential interior designers can connect new Burford room layouts with the pieces and features you keep, giving the wider scheme a personal foundation.

THE ROOM COMES FIRST
Photograph furniture, joinery and surfaces before considering replacements. Mark their dimensions and positions on the plan, then discuss the routes and views between rooms. A Burford scheme can establish where continuity is helpful without assuming that every room must have one historical or countryside style.

A CONSIDERED SPECIFICATION
Retained furniture and architectural details can give the scheme its starting point. We help you establish new floor and material relationships, then consider the lighting and layouts each room needs. Selected repeated details can connect the house without requiring every space to use the same colour or finish.

Identify the rooms, pieces to retain, priorities and proposed sequence. Bring any architect’s or builder’s drawings so the wider design can start from the same information.
Agree the layouts, palettes and design outputs for the rooms involved. Set out the product, sourcing and installation responsibilities in the proposal, including any separate specialist work.
Review the specification, costs and programme before committing to orders or work. If the home is changing in phases, record the common design decisions and the scope of each stage.
Explore our design process, discuss the installation scope, and keep the care guidance with your final specification.
REAL OBSIDIAN WORK
