Sourcing and Procurement
Sourcing and Procurement
Thoughtful decisions, expertly managed
Sourcing and procurement sit at the heart of every successful interior design project, turning creative ideas into a finished, liveable home. Design doesn’t end when the drawings are complete. Bringing a scheme to life involves hundreds of decisions, from selecting the right suppliers and comparing products to managing orders, deliveries and timelines.
Procurement is the process that transforms a design into a finished home. Sourcing and procurement form a core part of my Comprehensive Design service, ensuring every sourced item is considered, budgeted and beautifully realised.
With a considered approach, I manage the details on your behalf, sourcing pieces that align with your vision, your budget and the way you live. From a single statement piece to an entire home renovation, every purchase is made with care, ensuring each element contributes to a cohesive and beautifully considered interior.
It’s not simply about buying furniture, it’s about making informed decisions, protecting your investment and giving you the confidence that every detail is being thoughtfully managed.
More than simply purchasing
Professional procurement is about far more than placing orders.
It’s about knowing which suppliers to trust, understanding quality, balancing budgets, checking dimensions, managing lead times and ensuring every purchase works both practically and aesthetically within your home.
I take the time to research, compare and source furniture, lighting, finishes, fabrics and accessories that support the overall design, saving you countless hours while helping you avoid costly mistakes.
What's Included?
Every project is unique, and so is the level of procurement support it requires.
My procurement service is tailored to each project, with a procurement fee calculated as a bespoke percentage of the net cost of each item (after any applicable trade discounts have been applied and excluding shipping costs).
The percentage reflects the scope and complexity of your project and covers the time and expertise involved in researching, sourcing, ordering, coordinating deliveries and managing supplier communications from start to finish.
Where trade discounts are available, these are passed directly on to you before the procurement fee is applied, ensuring complete transparency throughout the process.
Your procurement fee will always be clearly outlined within your proposal, so you’ll know exactly how it has been calculated before any orders are placed.
