Rarebirds Interiors' design approach is grounded in curiosity and collaboration.

From initial briefing to spatial planning, materiality and final delivery, our process is structured yet personal — crafted for every client, every home, every story.

Rarebirds Interiors start with welcoming you into our studio or an on-line meeting to understand your design dreams. We will discuss your project scope, the colours, materials and design influences that appeal to you, understanding where you are in your design journey. Learn more about what drives our studio’s design ethos and how we approach each project with care and originality.

Viewing plans and photos of your property will enable us to present you with a comprehensive design proposal that explains our tailored design service in detail and the associated cost.

Acceptance of this proposal marks the beginning of our design journey together.

Design Concepts

Rarebirds Interiors craft individuality into each original design project, providing a full design professionals team or working alongside your own architectural team.

Our design team analyses your space and assesses what changes and interior enhancements can be created throughout your design journey. 

Initial spatial planning, sketches, material and product suggestions along with inspirational images are curated in a digital document, presented with materiality in your second design meeting.

Design Development

Incorporating client feedback, the design team will expand on the preferred design direction, fine tune the spatial planning, confirm the colours, finishes, fittings and products with the objective of crafting an exceptional final design for you.

Detailed plans and elevations are presented and discussed ensuring all aspects of the project’s brief are designed with detailed consideration and open to client input.

Design Documentation

Once the planning, designs, and specifications are approved, our scope within your project will be costed, and formal digital documentation created. When spend levels and design align, we provide stunning renders for you to visualise your project.

On completion of this stage of the design journey, our clients will have complete CAD files, formal product schedules, and costings for the engaged design envelope.
