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
A clear direction for the rooms around you.
A PERSONAL STARTING POINT
For a Charlton Kings interior-design brief, consider what the new work should preserve as well as what it should change. Existing furniture, architectural details and the routes between rooms give a whole-home scheme a useful starting point.
Obsidian’s kitchen and bathroom design team brings room planning into the wider interior conversation. Agreeing the shared palette early helps individual spaces develop with a common direction.
Our residential interior design service helps give a Charlton Kings renovation a connected direction, bringing familiar pieces and new room layouts into the same scheme.

THE ROOM COMES FIRST
Bring plans, photographs and examples of rooms you enjoy. Separate fixed features from decisions still open to discussion: lighting positions, surfaces, storage and the relationship between old and new work. A Charlton Kings scheme can then respond to your priorities without treating the whole house as a blank canvas.

A CONSIDERED SPECIFICATION
Furniture, architectural details and the route through the house can all influence the new scheme. We help establish a palette and lighting direction that makes room for what remains, then consider how new layouts improve use. When an architect or builder is involved, the interior decisions are coordinated with the wider plans.
Explore the details that make it yours ↗FROM IDEAS TO INSTALLATION
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.
