Do you want to reduce stress and design a great home?  As soon as possible then!  We can guide you on every step of your house project, from layouts and architectural planning, to colours and the final feeling of your home.  

Our approach to design always starts with Concept Design, where a blueprint for a beautiful home is created and visualised. If you work to create the vision of what your home will look like at the outset, everything else can then fall into place from the beginning.

We encourage anyone about to embark on a renovation to approach us for a chat first, so we can help structure your project and formulate an interior design direction.  This can help avoid unnecessary mistakes and delays.

Come in to the Richmond interior design studio, or call 020 3576 1317 for an appointment or callback.

We only offer the best, most attentive service from our interior design studio in Richmond.  Typically Max is involved in all design work and his experienced team handles the technical and practical side of getting it done.

Normally our projects are time based, which assigns you a proportion of time from an interior designer based on a monthly retainer, suitable to your requirements.

During the procurement stage, we typically arrange a white glove installation service, this is where we will store all furnishings for you and then carefully deliver and unpack them on installation day (or week!). Our standard service allows for an interior designer from our Richmond studio to be on-site for the installation.

We offer customers the best in design and this gives them the best results.  This does often, however, save you money and worry, because of our experience in getting things right the first time, and knowing how to design a great interior design scheme that has maximum impact for your vision.  This means we are competitive and provide exceptional value.  We also work to budgets.

To provide great service Max oversees all aspects of the design of your home, whilst his team will work on the practical management aspects.

Projects that are design-led are quicker in the long run because everything can be thought out, planned and costed in advance.  Our work typically goes through 3 phases.  Concept Design may take 4-6 weeks, with additional time for review or larger projects.  Detailed Design can take 6-8 weeks.  The project will then go out to tender, and the construction and procurement phase will be commensurate to the scale of the project.

To a degree, yes! Max loves pushing the boundaries, and given our work is fully bespoke, you can literally have anything that the world can offer!

We will however guide you on ensuring your home has a harmonious balance to it.

We are very thorough in putting things right and explain our commitment in our contracts.  The first aspect is to understand where an issue has occurred and be transparent.

With the procurement of goods we are clear where the product is a Max Buston Design product, which covers most bespoke items, or a Proprietary product, where we are handling the goods on your behalf from another supplier.  We use many hundreds of suppliers, which allows a very individual and layered finished home, and so we are very careful in selecting those only with high standards.

It amazes us that some interior designers think they can design your home without your input.  For us, our approach is to put you first and understand exactly the style of home that you want to live in.  We will take this on board and guide you to bringing your vision to a harmonious whole.  You will have sign off for all interior designs presented. 

We have frequent design meetings with you (typically every 3-4 weeks) at the Richmond interior design studio, your home or online, so that we can explain and feedback designs so that your vision can come to life.  

What could be better than a beautiful, comfortable home that is exactly how you want it?
