An interior design process with calm, direction, and clarity

From initial request to design, materialization and guidance towards realization: at Rive Home, we work with a careful process in which every step is clear.

Schedule a personal introduction

Understand first, design second

A good interior does not begin with isolated choices, but with insight. That is why we take the time to fully understand your home, lifestyle, wishes, schedule, and budget guidelines before we develop a suitable proposal.

This ensures that the process is not a standard one, but a carefully constructed path in which design, materials, customization, and guidance flow logically into one another.

A cohesive interior is created by making choices in the right order.

From inquiry to an interior that works

01

Request

You share your home, wishes, schedule, and initial ideas with us. We will review whether your project aligns with our working methods and expertise.

02

Intake questionnaire

If the project seems like a good fit, you will receive an intake questionnaire. This helps us to properly understand your lifestyle, taste, priorities, and expectations.

03

Personal introduction

During the introductory meeting, we will discuss your property, requirements, budget estimate, schedule, and the desired level of support.

04

Analysis & proposal

After the introduction, we translate all information into a suitable proposal including scope, investment, planning, and terms.

05

Project kick-off

Once agreed, we will schedule the start of the project.

06

Design & materialization

We work on layout, atmosphere, color, materials, custom design ideas, and 3D visualizations where necessary.

07

Choices & suppliers

As agreed, we will assist with the selection of affiliated suppliers, quotations, materials, furniture, lighting, and custom selections.

08

Guidance towards realization

We safeguard the design vision, coherence, and alignment with involved parties within the agreed-upon role.

09

Finalization & follow-up

We are working towards a smooth completion, with attention to remaining items, styling, photography, or aftercare where appropriate.

How does a trajectory with Rive Home begin?

A project begins with an introductory meeting in which the home, lifestyle, planning, budget direction, and ambition are discussed. This is followed by a clear route for advice, design, or further guidance.

Can Rive Home provide input if the renovation or new construction project has not yet started?

Yes, especially early in the process, Rive Home can add significant value. Layout, lighting points, materials, custom work, and practical choices can then still be well aligned with one another.

Will Rive Home remain involved during the implementation?

Depending on the chosen level of guidance, Rive Home can also remain involved during execution, ensuring that design choices, materials, and custom work do not lose touch with the original overall vision.

Will I receive help with choices that I find difficult?

Yes. The goal is to bring clarity to choices. Rive Home organizes options, maintains coherence, and helps determine what is important for the home, the style, and daily use.
